Was he really talking about the future of the big engine powerful cars
or
was he hinting at the end of Top Gear
or
was he hinting at maybe himself leaving top Gear
either way it was powerful ending.

Just the end of the big engine cars, mind you if you look at the fuel economy of the BMW 3 litre petrols I think there's still some hope.

Loved the program tonight, but seriously how amazing was the noise from that vxr8. I could not stop smiling watching that alone. Can I get mini to sound like that?

Was definitely a strange ending. But I think it was more just because it was the last in the series. Must have been the shortest script for a car review they've ever done. But when you have a V12 in an Aston, do you really want to hear Clarkson battering on about how good it is? You just want to watch it.:yes nod:

Was a really wierd ending. Really can't see TG finishing as it is way to popular, Clarkson might leave but the show will continue.
Did they say see you next season though?

Think it was just a 5 min filler with an Aston on Isle of Mann (Well looked like it)
couldn't have TG without Clarkson, thats criminal

I thought it was North Wales, which is ironic as he mentioned the crack down on speed.

It's the end of big engines in my view.
Audi, Merc and BMW are both moving to smaller engines with turbos in the big cars. There is a reason for this as I seem to recall some legislation about the overall range of cars having to meet certain emission standards. Now, you can argue about that Ferrari are owned by Fiat and so the Panda will balance out the Enzo, but that kind of leaves stand alone companies a bit stuffed, hence why Porsche were trying to buy VW.
