Hi Chris,

Well, for one reason that eventually those cars will rust out and crash allot sooner than the 2009 cars.

I will be the first to tell anyone I do not like Top Gear. I do not like what they do on the show, and I do not like this phony project being put up as a way for the average American to use less fuel. It is what it is. Its is a way for capable mechanics to put sweat equity into a car and get a good result for himself. It may even be a new formula for amatuer racing, say on 100 percent bio-diesel.

But , as soon as this is done for somebody else, for use on the public roads, there is a whole world of issues that cut into the mileage equation.

And I still think that Top Gear needs to take it out in the desert and fill it with 50 caliber machine-gun bullets to avoid being called hypocrits.
