They've given up talking about any car features and functionality at all now. I wish they had talked about the Miata a little more. With all the talk about the Alfa supposedly being light with all the carbon fibre, the new Miata actually weighs practically the same. The new Miata/MX-5 has so many cool features like the one-handed soft roof that's super easy to use. It would have been great to see them actually deal with rain or sandstorms in the other cars.

This is the first car that reasonable people would actually buy and it was too bad they couldn't compare and contrast it a little more with the higher priced cars. I miss that part of old top gear when they would actually speak about the usability of cars that people could actually afford.
