I think Porsche is a expensive car but if they make a Cheaper model everyone will buy it. Good Wishes from a fan from Norway

Sadly Richard, the current Porsche is not better than a VW, because it is now owned by VW. Like you, I've always admired the excellence represented by Porsche, now it's no better than the parent company that thinks it's OK for a new car to burn a litre of synthetic motor oil a month....... Now on, I'll chose a thoroughbred over the very fast pig…any day of the week now

It is a shame and silly to destroy a VW Beetle in this way. Such a lovely car. I really enjoyed your show before this episode. Not anymore.

I don´t understand why the beetle is so bad and everybody in top gear says it is rubbish,beetle was not a fast car and it wasn´t made for racing, but changed the history like the mini changed. A well known pilot said if you drive fast and well a beetle you can drive as well a 911. Most people in my country learn how to drive in a beetle because it was a safe car and if you wanted to drive fast it was fun. Im glad Ferdinand made the beetle. Porsche rules!
