0:00:02 > 0:00:04'Now, on Top Gear, we fix GM by using eggs and soda.'

0:00:04 > 0:00:06What is wrong with you?

0:00:06 > 0:00:08'We almost drown while driving.'

0:00:08 > 0:00:10It's cold! It's cold!

0:00:10 > 0:00:14'And we welcome skateboard legend Tony Hawk to our track.'

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Woo! That was so good!

0:00:19 > 0:00:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Welcome to Top Gear!

0:00:23 > 0:00:29On this show nobody will be made an ex-top model, nobody will fall off a big, red, rubber ball,

0:00:29 > 0:00:32but if you like cars, this is where you belong.

0:00:32 > 0:00:37I'm Adam Ferrara. That's Tanner Foust and this is Rutledge Wood.

0:00:37 > 0:00:42We start tonight with General Motors. A few years ago, the US Government bought about 60% of GM

0:00:42 > 0:00:45to help save the company for 50 billion.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50That's 50 billion paid to the US Government by you and me.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54That works out to 163 per person.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58And for 163 bucks we all get a part of GM - a very small part.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01It's point zero, zero, zero, zero,

0:01:01 > 0:01:05zero, zero, zero, two percent to be exact.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06LAUGHTER

0:01:06 > 0:01:11So the idea is that if we can find one top-selling car for GM we would all win.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14So we each picked a great GM car from the past.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19We put it through a series of tests to see which one would best protect our investment.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24MUSIC: "Layla" by Eric Clapton

0:01:24 > 0:01:30'We decided to meet in Detroit, Michigan - Motor City, the automotive centre of the world.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33'Adam was the first to arrive.'

0:01:35 > 0:01:39I have chosen the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme,

0:01:39 > 0:01:43one of the most popular nameplates in automotive history.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47This car was introduced in 1961 and sold 11.9 million,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50until it ended its production life in 1999.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55This car was made when GM owned the American roads and it was BECAUSE of cars like this.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Look at it! It's frigging beautiful!

0:01:58 > 0:02:03This particular model has the V8, the classic Oldsmobile Rocket 350.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07You can tell by its lines it was designed during the pinnacle of the muscle-car era.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13They also knew how to combine muscle-car stylings with a reasonably upscale interior.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18It was one of the last attractive GM interiors before everything became plasticky and cheap.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I always liked the roofline on the Cutlass Supreme.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It was a more formal notchback, rather than a fastback.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29The other thing I love about cars of this era is the high beams are on the floor.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34So when you're driving you can just tell people to get outta my way!

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Tanner's a coke dealer!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- A Pontiac Fiero. - This thing could save GM.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48It's like a hero car. It's like an exotic car for every man.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53- It's a chick's car. - It's the only mass-produced, mid-engine car EVER in America.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Which they stopped after four years.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- It's designed after a Ferrari 308. - It's gold!

0:02:58 > 0:03:02"Fiero" in Italian means proud.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03Absolutely.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07You've brought back a fad, OK? This is basically parachute pants.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I had 26 zippers on one pair of pants. - That doesn't surprise me at all.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15- You found the biggest car in a 50-mile radius and bought it, again.- Yes!

0:03:15 > 0:03:17- What is up with that? - It's great! It's a man's car!

0:03:17 > 0:03:24- It's an old man's car.- No, no, no, my friend. This is the '71 Cutlass Supreme - an executive hotrod.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- What do you think Rutledge is going to get?- I have no idea.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh, my God! Mom's here!

0:03:32 > 0:03:39- You're kidding! - Fellas, allow me to introduce the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

0:03:39 > 0:03:44- Tell me the inside doesn't smell like Virginia Slim cigarettes. - It holds eight people.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49You can fit a four-by-eight sheet of plywood and it will tow 5,000lbs.

0:03:49 > 0:03:56- It's got the vista roof.- Yeah! How about that? This could be the most usable car GM ever produced.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59The fact that it's got that much power makes it really fun.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's a total boat. You cruise in style.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08And with this luxury of the vinyl, fake-wood panelling, it let's everybody know, "I'm classy!"

0:04:08 > 0:04:13You know what? I have never seen you and Clark Griswold in the same place at the same time.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Let me guess, you bought the Fiero. - Absolutely, bought the Fiero.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- Look at it. It just screams, "I love the '80s!"- Don't be jealous.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Is Bananarama still together?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28And this? Wow! Where's the mast and the sail?

0:04:28 > 0:04:34- You're kidding! With THIS?- You've got nothing to talk about on that one, Rutledge.- This thing's sleek.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36The turning radius on this is Pennsylvania.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41- That could fit in the back if I laid my seats down. - This is a mid-engine masterpiece.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46- You know what the best part of this mid-engine is?- What's that? - It bursts into flames!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Can you do a brake stand in it? - You bet!- Let's see it.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Done.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52BRAKES SCREECH

0:04:58 > 0:05:02- She's a Buick all right! Look at that!- Wow!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05'While the smoke cleared, it was obvious we were never going to agree

0:05:05 > 0:05:07'which out-of-production car was the best.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12'But, fortunately, the producers had come up with a series of challenges to help us decide.'

0:05:12 > 0:05:16"America loves a road trip, so to prove that your vehicle has the stamina

0:05:16 > 0:05:21"for the long haul, you'll need to drive them 100 miles to Marshall, Michigan."

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Are you kidding me? A road trip in the Roadmaster.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- You're going to be surfing that waterbed. I'll be there waiting. - Have fun in the Incredible Hulk!

0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's a test colour!

0:05:31 > 0:05:34'We were representatives of the American people

0:05:34 > 0:05:38'and if our hard-earned dollars were going to a car company,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41'we were going to make sure that car was the best.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44'The cars deserved a second chance.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49'Who knows what variables were at play when they were in production that might be different today?

0:05:49 > 0:05:54'The car may have failed because they didn't have the technology to make them competitive.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57'They could have had a bad marketing campaign.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00'Or the design could have been too ahead of its time.'

0:06:00 > 0:06:02The frickin' light doesn't work.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Come on!

0:06:04 > 0:06:10'We were on a road trip and it was the perfect time to get to know our cars a little better.'

0:06:12 > 0:06:14There's the cops, right there.

0:06:14 > 0:06:21If there's any car that attracts attention, it's the Fiero. This looks fast just standing still.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26In the '80s, Fiero actually took down the almighty Mustangs and Camaros

0:06:26 > 0:06:29at Sears Point, consecutively.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34The balance of the mid-engine is undeniable. Ferrari found success in it - a brand based on racing.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36140 horsepower though.

0:06:36 > 0:06:43I mean, mid-'80s that wasn't bad. 2,500lb car. It's pretty quick, if you put your foot in it.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45ENGINE REVS

0:06:46 > 0:06:48That's not bad.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53The Fiero's really about a great concept in a poor follow through.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56In a large part, it was due to a recall,

0:06:56 > 0:07:01where they actually had to fix every single Fiero ever made.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Ooh! What's that? Well, power. There we go.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Under the hood you've got a detuned LT1.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13So it's basically a Corvette motor with a little bit different heads.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18These are geared so you can really get this car up and going. It weighs almost 4,500lbs.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21You need a little torque to get you around.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Maybe things that aren't so great about it.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Well, it is a little floaty.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30The suspension could be a bit tighter.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32And the seats don't really hold you.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- You like my car? - WOMAN: I do. I love it.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42- It's a Roadmaster. It's a station wagon. You probably didn't even notice!- I didn't!- I love you!

0:07:42 > 0:07:49Look at that. Pretty girls talking to me in the wagon. Psst! This thing!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55- How are you doin'? - I like that car.- You like my ride?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Thank you. If we were to bring this car back, would you buy it?

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Thank you so much, darlin'. She likes my ride.

0:08:03 > 0:08:09The Cutlass Supreme was retired in 1997, three years before Oldsmobile went out of business,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12but it really didn't matter.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17By that time, the design evolved into this emasculated front-wheel drive shell of itself.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Not like this sweet ride I'm in now.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23This is a luxury muscle car. It's got everything in it.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27AM/FM stereo. That doesn't work. Air conditioning.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32That needs to be fixed, but it's got the Rocket 350.

0:08:32 > 0:08:38It handles a little boat-like. Not like Rutledge's Staten Island Ferry.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42This really is one of the best road-trip cars you could have.

0:08:42 > 0:08:48When this was new, you would pack the family into it and head across the country to Walley World.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Sorry, folks. Park's closed!

0:09:03 > 0:09:08'Even though we were in separate cars, I felt like we were one big family taking a road trip.'

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Phew! Damn!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12This thing is comfy.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16It's like a La-Z-Boy with a steering wheel in front of it.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19'Adam was already complaining.'

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Hot!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23'And Tanner was enjoying his toy.'

0:09:23 > 0:09:29I'm impressed. For a 24-year-old car, it runs nice. Not on fire or anything.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35If you brought back this car,

0:09:35 > 0:09:40you could not only save GM, but you could also make some cool cars.

0:09:40 > 0:09:45'You make the wagon. Off that you build a Caprice, an Impala SS. Cut off the back of the wagon.'

0:09:45 > 0:09:49What have you got? Dun-dun-na-nah! Your new El Camino.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53GM is saved. Thank you, Rutledge Wood!

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Wow!

0:09:58 > 0:10:01So if I was going to upgrade this car, I'd lighten it up a bit.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06Maybe a fibreglass hood or carbon fibre, depending on my cost.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'd turbocharge and direct inject the Rocket 350.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14And I'd fix the friggin' air conditioning! Hot!

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Tanner...

0:10:16 > 0:10:22- Are you going to put another tiny, hard-to-work-on V6 back there? - Negatory, my friend.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24LS7.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Are you going to change that in your redesign?

0:10:26 > 0:10:32The redesign's going to be epic. It will start with a race car and trickle technology into the road.

0:10:32 > 0:10:38It's going to establish GM as a world racing power and change the brand altogether.

0:10:38 > 0:10:44The majority of you-alls' target market was conceived in the back of a Roadmaster Wagon.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Granted. You got that one.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52'75 miles into our journey across Michigan,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55'our family dynamic began to break down.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59'Papa Bear was getting annoyed because the cubs were wandering.'

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- Tanner, you might want to just slow down just a hair. - I'm going the speed limit.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Slow down!- BLEEP.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08BLEEP.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Don't make me separate you two. - You guys can't keep up?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15If you'll slow down and get in the right-hand lane and the three of us get together,

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- then no-one will sound like a- BLEEP...- Too late.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22LAUGHTER

0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's like eight year olds with licences.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28That's what a road trip is like with these two.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33'Our cars successfully completed their first challenge -

0:11:33 > 0:11:36'the 100-mile road trip to Marshall.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41'But soon we realised that the producers didn't just send us to any town.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45'Marshall was home to Eaton Proving Grounds,

0:11:45 > 0:11:49'a place where our three cars would enter but only one would leave.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54'The 100-mile round trip in our out-of-production GM cars

0:11:54 > 0:11:57'ended at Eaton Proving Grounds -

0:11:57 > 0:12:00'an automotive torture chamber.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05'This proving grounds was like Marine Corps' training for cars.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12'It had a banked test track designed to wear down every moving part,

0:12:12 > 0:12:18'an intimidating hill that seemed to stretch straight into the sky,

0:12:18 > 0:12:22'and a skid pad so slick you could ice skate on it.

0:12:22 > 0:12:28'Each section was designed specifically to expose a car's greatest weakness.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31'This was not going to be a walk in the park,

0:12:31 > 0:12:35'but it would help us decide which car was best to bring back from the dead.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40'Our first challenge at Eaton was a classic 0-60,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42'and the Roadmaster was ready for it.'

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- What are you going to do in the power wagon there? - I'm going nine.

0:12:45 > 0:12:50- Days?!- You guys want to make jokes or watch me haul ass?- Go!

0:12:54 > 0:12:5540.

0:12:55 > 0:12:5750.

0:12:57 > 0:12:5960!

0:12:59 > 0:13:01A shade over nine seconds.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- 'That's pretty fast.' - I used most of a tank right there.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10'Rutledge got the Titanic moving quicker than I thought,

0:13:10 > 0:13:15'but it was still going to be no match for my Rocket 350.'

0:13:21 > 0:13:22Shift!

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Shift! 60!

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- The smoky burnout. - I've got 12 and a half.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34'Tanner was next with a measly 140hp.

0:13:34 > 0:13:41'The Fiero only weighs 2,700lbs. Tanner only weighs 80lb. So he had a power-to-weight advantage.'

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Are you ready, Breakfast Club? - Yeah, I'm ready.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48There's 40.

0:13:48 > 0:13:5045. 50. 55.

0:13:50 > 0:13:5260.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58I don't know how that looked from the outside, but, damn, that was so fast inside here!

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- 'I love it!'- Come on, let's go.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06'Tanner's Fiero had beaten the Roadmaster by a full two seconds.'

0:14:06 > 0:14:09'It was time to go on to the next challenge.'

0:14:09 > 0:14:15"You may have noticed a Top Gear production vehicle parked on a 20% grade incline.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19"It's being held by its parking brake. This is your next challenge.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22"Drive up the incline, put your car in neutral, apply the parking brake.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26"Go pick up the bowling ball, put it in your car and drive over the hill."

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- You know what? I'll go first. - Great.- Roadmaster should.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's just you and me. Got nothing to worry about.

0:14:34 > 0:14:41We're going to pull up this hill. I'm going to put you in neutral and put the parking brake on. OK?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43He's got to get psyched up to do it.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I need you to brake so I can get that bowling ball.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Come on, Roadmaster. Here we go.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Nice and easy up the hill.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56And there's the bowling ball.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57And...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Is it going to hold? - I heard it.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK. OK.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- I don't know if I'd get out. - That door's going to lock on him.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Ha-ha-ha!

0:15:15 > 0:15:16He did it!

0:15:16 > 0:15:18He did it!

0:15:18 > 0:15:20BRAKES SQUEAL

0:15:20 > 0:15:22'Adam and the Jolly Green Giant were next.'

0:15:32 > 0:15:35It sounds like it's there. It's not there.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36This is dangerous.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Uh-oh!

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Was that his phone that just fell off?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Oh, dammit!- It was a good try.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53'The hill was too steep and the E-brake was too tired.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56'AND I needed a new phone.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00'Next it was Tanner's turn.'

0:16:10 > 0:16:15'I didn't know it at the time, but one of the many Fiero recalls was for the E-brake.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20'The transportation safety bulletin on it basically said I was screwed.'

0:16:26 > 0:16:28You're gonna hit my car!

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Oh!

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- What is wrong with you? - That car hates you, Adam.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- I think he beat you. - A little buckle.- That'll buff out.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Ah, ah!- He's got to do that, too!

0:16:46 > 0:16:50You have to bring the ball here. Thank you.

0:16:50 > 0:16:55- It's plastic. It doesn't dent. - Yeah, I know.- I'm surprised you didn't know that.

0:16:55 > 0:17:01'Rutledge was getting so confident that he decided to peacock a bit and attack the 60% hill climb.'

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh, I've got this.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05WHEELS SCREECH

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Go!

0:17:09 > 0:17:11I almost had it!

0:17:14 > 0:17:17'Next the producers came up with a challenge that would test

0:17:17 > 0:17:21'our cars' handling capabilities in extreme conditions.'

0:17:21 > 0:17:26"The professionals at Eaton have set up a course on their low-traction skid pad.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- "You'll need to navigate your way through the cones." - That doesn't sound so hard.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35"You'll be given ten 32oz cups of soda that all have to be within reach.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40"The car with the fastest time and the least amount of spillage wins."

0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's a manual. That's going to be tough.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45'There would be a five-second penalty for every soda that spilled.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49'And the best news of all - Tanner had no cup holders.'

0:17:49 > 0:17:55One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Here we go! Three, two, one, go!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Oh, God!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- It's all gone.- BLEEP.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Did you see how much just went there?

0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Darn, that's so cool! - They're all gone.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13I've got to save at least one of them!

0:18:13 > 0:18:17Oh, it's cold! It's cold!

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Mother of all that is sacred!

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- WILD LAUGHTER - Is that one cup left?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29LAUGHTER

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- What was the bad idea? - There were two cups.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34'Rutledge was next.

0:18:34 > 0:18:40'Rutledge's La-Z-Boy on wheels was practically built out of cup holders.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Now remember, it's a combination of...- Speed, time...

0:18:43 > 0:18:47- ..And spillage. So the time is critical. You ready?- Go!

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Oh, no! Oh, that's so cold!

0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Hold on! Right.- Wow! He's going pretty quick, actually.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Ah, just let it stop!- Oh!

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Come on, Rutledge!

0:19:06 > 0:19:08And...

0:19:08 > 0:19:09..Stop.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Ha!

0:19:10 > 0:19:15Oh, my God! Look at all these. Look at how much I saved.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21- Not bad, Rutledge. - That's pretty good.- Gosh. You have five full cups left.

0:19:21 > 0:19:27'That means I was wearing five cups. I didn't feel so bad because Adam was next.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30'And his car didn't have ANY cup holders.'

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Three, two, one. Go!

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Oh!

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh! Oh, that's cold!

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I think my left one was just frightened into my body.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46MANIC LAUGHTER

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Oh, he's spun!- Oh...

0:19:49 > 0:19:54- That is going to be wet. - He's getting into the box. - He's finally getting there.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Ah, come on!

0:19:56 > 0:19:58And stop.

0:19:58 > 0:20:04'Adam saved four cups. Then the producers made us do our own math to figure out the winner.'

0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK, so I got a 1.09?

0:20:06 > 0:20:12- You had a 1.09 and a half.- 1.09 with a four-cup penalty, which is 20 seconds. So I've got 1.29.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17So I had a 51. So I had about a seven-minute run.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Pretty much.- Really?

0:20:19 > 0:20:25I had a 55-second run and I lost five cups. So that would mean a minute, 20.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Oh!- That means I won! This is awesome! This is awesome!

0:20:29 > 0:20:34What's next? Bring it on! The Roadmaster's ready!

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Wooh!

0:20:37 > 0:20:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:45 > 0:20:48APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:20:48 > 0:20:51There is more GM to come.

0:20:51 > 0:20:57But now time for the news. Gentlemen, did you know Google has invented a car that drives itself?

0:20:57 > 0:21:03It uses video cameras, radar sensors and laser rangefinders to quote "see" other traffic.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07And the president of Google, a man named Eric Schmidt, he says, and I'm quoting,

0:21:07 > 0:21:10"It is amazing to me that we let humans drive cars.

0:21:10 > 0:21:16- LAUGHTER - "It's a bug that cars were invented before computers."

0:21:16 > 0:21:22- Boo!- What? I can guarantee that man will never set foot in this set.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yes! Yes!

0:21:25 > 0:21:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:28 > 0:21:33- But if he's using Google Maps, he'll never FIND this set. - That is true.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37In other news, Chevy is producing the new Z28 Camaro.

0:21:37 > 0:21:43They're going to put the LSA supercharge engine in. Good for 500hp.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Maybe as high as 550,

0:21:45 > 0:21:50- which is great news if you're a tree or a ditch. - LAUGHTER

0:21:50 > 0:21:55It's also great news for the organ-donor programme.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59You've got to admit, a Camaro with that much power would be a fun car.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Cos that would be an affordable Z06,

0:22:03 > 0:22:07or even ZR1 in comparison for normal people.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11I like the new Camaro, but I can't see out of it. It's like it's chopped.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- The visibility is really... - It's a muscle car. It's not...

0:22:15 > 0:22:18You're just supposed to go... Straight line, you know?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22You're supposed to look cool driving! Not like this. Like...

0:22:22 > 0:22:27And, finally, in the news there is a suburb of Philly that is considering getting police

0:22:27 > 0:22:32- to fine people 25 if they leave their cars unlocked.- What?- Yeah!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Shouldn't the fact your radio is like gone be...

0:22:35 > 0:22:38You know, "I forgot to lock my car. My CDs are gone.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- "Oh! AND I have a 25 fine!" - LAUGHTER

0:22:41 > 0:22:47To enforce that, they're going to send police around town to check every car to see if it's unlocked.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- That seems like a great waste of time.- Mm-hm.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54- That means they're not writing us tickets.- It's a great idea!- Yes.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57APPLAUSE

0:22:58 > 0:23:03And now it's time to put a big star in our small car.

0:23:03 > 0:23:09Our guest tonight tried to buy a car that was as much fun to drive as skateboarding is to do.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14But he couldn't. So instead he bought a Honda Civic. Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Hawk!

0:23:14 > 0:23:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Have a seat, please.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25So, Tony...

0:23:25 > 0:23:29- You are a man that's giving hybrids a good name.- All right.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34You drive perhaps the coolest hybrid out there. It's not a Prius!

0:23:34 > 0:23:39- It is a Lexus on 22's. - Yeah, 600H.- How did that happen?

0:23:39 > 0:23:44- From the moment I ever saw my first Lexus, I was obsessed with them.- Really?

0:23:44 > 0:23:49Yeah. And it came time to actually get a sedan recently

0:23:49 > 0:23:52and so that was the one.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Did you put the 22's on there? - Yeah.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59There's a chance some of you don't know who Tony is

0:23:59 > 0:24:01from his years of professional skateboarding.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06You might know him from one of the most successful video game brands in the world -

0:24:06 > 0:24:10all the Tony Hawk games. Who has some of those? Yeah.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11Thank you.

0:24:11 > 0:24:18If we'd asked you in high school, "Do you think people will one day skateboard with their hands..."?

0:24:18 > 0:24:22No. If you had told me there was even going to be a video game series that features skateboarding,

0:24:22 > 0:24:25I wouldn't have believed you.

0:24:25 > 0:24:31You guys may not realise this, but Tony has also done a little stunt driving in his day.

0:24:31 > 0:24:37- There was a beautiful movie in the '80s called Gleaming The Cube. - CHEERING

0:24:37 > 0:24:43One of the first mainstream movies to ever feature skateboarding in a big way. Before that...

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Were you one of the skateboarders in Police Academy?- I was.

0:24:46 > 0:24:51- I was David Spade's stunt double. And I got fired.- You got fired? - I was too tall.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54So you went on from there to drive this...

0:24:54 > 0:24:59- I believe it was an old Ford Courier with a Pizza Hut roof on top of the truck.- Right.

0:24:59 > 0:25:06- That was some pretty amazing stunt work.- Thank you very much. It was my first forte into stunt driving.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10You've gone on to better cars. You've gotten a couple up to speed on the autobahn, right?

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Yeah, I was in Frankfurt with Matt Hoffman, the BMX legend.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16The Condor, of course.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21The Condor, yes. We said, "We've got a chance to drive the autobahn. Let's rent a Ferrari." And we did.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25I was driving and he's videoing the speedometer and he's telling me how fast it's going...

0:25:25 > 0:25:30Cos I'm not even looking any more. I'm just, you know... Eyes on the prize there.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34And he's 260, 280, 300. And we got up to 300K.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39- I said, "It won't go any faster." And we slowed down. - That's 187 miles an hour.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- We looked online and 300K is THE top speed for that car.- Wow!

0:25:42 > 0:25:47- So mission accomplished.- Nice work! That's some big stuff right there.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49APPLAUSE

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- You also have driven a NASCAR stock car.- Yeah.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57Jimmy Johnson helped me quite a bit. He and I were teamed up in this Gillette celebrity race.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- He helped me immensely how to go faster going left.- Yeah.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, a four-time champion would be a good driving coach.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Did you tell him that it's weird only going left?

0:26:08 > 0:26:13No, he can kick my ass any direction, really. I'm not going to challenge him at all.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16What's Tony Hawk's favourite car?

0:26:16 > 0:26:21My favourite car? It's my Stingray. It was my dream car when I was a kid.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25You know, '64 Stingray. When I first saw it as a kid, I thought it was the Batmobile.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29I've always been drawn to it and got one when I had the means.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33- You've also had a lot of jeeps. You have an SRT8. Correct?- A-huh.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35But it just wasn't fast enough?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38I had heard that Hennessey Motors in Texas

0:26:38 > 0:26:44- will supercharge any sort of SRT engines and thought, "That's it. Sign me up."- Wow!- Yeah.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- That's 600 all-wheel drive horsepower in a jeep?- Yeah.

0:26:47 > 0:26:53- It's fun.- So since you've driven all sorts of stuff, how would you say the Suzuki compares?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57It was fun.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01But with these turns and the hairpins, you can't have a car going too fast.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Really? You guys want to see his lap?

0:27:04 > 0:27:08- AUDIENCE: Yes! - Let's play it!

0:27:08 > 0:27:10My imaginary Stig is in my head. Here we go.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- 'The imaginary Stig. Did that help?- Yeah.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- '..In my head.- And you pumped second in a car with almost no power at all.'

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Is that good? - That's impressive.- All right.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21'Coming into turn one. Pretty smooth start.'

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Came in too hard on that last corner.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26'Here we are coming into the Teardrop.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31'That's an easy corner to mess up. If you mess up that, the whole Teardrop is off.'

0:27:31 > 0:27:33I feel good.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37- 'This one's tricky. That one's tricky to hit.- Good start now.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40'You're getting close. Heading to the back stretch.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43'Ooh, drifting way out!'

0:27:44 > 0:27:47I cut that turn a little too tight there.

0:27:47 > 0:27:52You've got a little bump here and then real hard on the brakes before you turn in.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55'This turn is really hard to figure right out here.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59'A lot of tyre smoke as you're heading in the S's.'

0:27:59 > 0:28:04OK, that has blown it. Wow! That didn't work at all. Bad, Tony!

0:28:04 > 0:28:07'Coming through the S's. Up here to the last turn.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11'A lot of speed carrying through and across the line!'

0:28:11 > 0:28:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:16 > 0:28:20So we're got Kid Rock up there leading the board at 1.43.9.

0:28:20 > 0:28:25Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon, technically at the bottom. How do you think you compared?

0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'd like to say I fell somewhere in between there.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30LAUGHTER

0:28:30 > 0:28:34- OK, let's see. You did it... - All right.- ..In one minute...

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Forty...

0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Three... - AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Bring it!- Point two!- Oh, yes!

0:28:43 > 0:28:45APPLAUSE

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Look at that!

0:28:46 > 0:28:50- The Birdman takes it to the top! - Thank you.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- All right!- Let's give another hand for Tony Hawk.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:29:01 > 0:29:04Tonight, we are testing three old GM cars

0:29:04 > 0:29:08to see which classic design that we, the American taxpayers

0:29:08 > 0:29:11and GM shareholders, want to lobby the company to bring back.

0:29:11 > 0:29:17So far we've driven to the Eaton Proving Grounds and we've tested 0-60, E-brake performance,

0:29:17 > 0:29:20- handling and, of course, interior storage.- Yeah.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24For our next test we're told to line up in front of a section of uneven concrete,

0:29:24 > 0:29:27known as the rumble strips, where we'd be given our next challenge.

0:29:33 > 0:29:38All right, fellas. "Most cars that are tested on the rumble strip drive at 20mph.

0:29:38 > 0:29:44"You will drive at 30mph. A colander of eggs has been attached to your driver's side headliner.

0:29:44 > 0:29:49"The person with the most eggs left in the colander wins."

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Really? - You want to start it off?- Yeah.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56Uh-oh!

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Wow!

0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Your head needs to go inside the car.- I know.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04- I'm going to put my belt on. - That would be a good move, maybe.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08OK. Good luck with that. I'll be over here trying to stay dry.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13OK. This isn't going to be good.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Awesome!

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- All right, Adam. Are you ready? - Yeah, I'm ready.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Go!- Go, go, go, go!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Here we go!

0:30:33 > 0:30:38- That seems so violent.- Yeah. - I thought the trunk was going to blow off.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41It doesn't look that bad. Oh, yeah!

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- How would you describe that? - Er, yolky.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48My cholesterol actually went up.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Who's next?- Tanner's up!

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Are you ready?- I'm ready.- Go!

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Oh, no!

0:31:00 > 0:31:02'The Fiero's double wishbone suspension

0:31:02 > 0:31:08'was communicating every bit of the rumble strip to the steering wheel as well as the colander.'

0:31:11 > 0:31:14That was... Pttt! Pooar!

0:31:14 > 0:31:17He has got some egg on him now.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20LAUGHTER

0:31:20 > 0:31:23'Rutledge was next.'

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Your head makes that colander look so small.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Are you ready, Rutledge? Time to make an omelette.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Go!- Go!

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Oh, they're moving! I can hear them moving around in there.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Oh! Oh!

0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Oh! Oh! Oh-ho! - He's all over the place.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46Wow, this is rough! This really does feel like I'm in Detroit.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Whoa! Oh-ho! Oh, no!

0:31:50 > 0:31:53That was awesome! I hope he broke all the eggs.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57I don't have any on me. This is amazing.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59Oh!

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Come on!

0:32:02 > 0:32:06- ..What?- Dry as a bone!

0:32:06 > 0:32:12- No, you've got a shock absorber in there.- Nothing. It's not my fault. It's the Roadmaster!

0:32:12 > 0:32:15- I say we check the eggs. - Sure, let's check the eggs.

0:32:15 > 0:32:21- I have seven unbroken eggs. - Are those hard boiled?- No!

0:32:23 > 0:32:28- They're not hard boiled. - Can you hit the middle of his window?- Yup!

0:32:28 > 0:32:31I think I can hit it from back here.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Oh!

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Not in the Roadmaster!

0:32:36 > 0:32:42'In the end, we had more eggs on our cars than left in our colanders.

0:32:42 > 0:32:48'The SS Roadmaster was victorious. Up to this point, each of our cars had put up a good fight.

0:32:48 > 0:32:53'There was just one challenge left to determine which car GM should bring back.

0:32:53 > 0:32:58'We asked the producers if we could change our sticky, egg-stained clothes

0:32:58 > 0:33:02'and they were happy to help us out.'

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- You look good. - Does this suit make me look fat?

0:33:09 > 0:33:14- Yeah.- Yeah.- Really? They're supposed to be slimming.

0:33:14 > 0:33:19'Once two-thirds of us were comfortable in our new outfits, we received the final challenge.'

0:33:19 > 0:33:22"This challenge is to test your cars' build quality.

0:33:22 > 0:33:28"Your cars will be filled to the top with water and then you will drive around the track.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31"When the water level drops below the steering wheel, you stop.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34"The person who drives the furthest is the winner."

0:33:34 > 0:33:38- So the wetsuits make sense.- How are you going to drive underwater?

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Oh, well, here there's a snorkel and a mask.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43You'll be fine.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48You have a little advantage since this turd bucket only holds like 30 gallons of water.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50- So I've got to shift gears underwater?- Yes.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54You're hosed. Your car's going to hold a swimming pool inside it.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- You know how much that's gonna weigh?- I'm telling you, I'm warm.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01If you get cold in there, they say you're supposed to pee in it.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07You know what helps me? Deep knee bends.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11- Get it right where you need it. A couple of twists here. - Put your belt on.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14No way. I'm not putting my belt on!

0:34:14 > 0:34:17'Then our water source arrived.'

0:34:17 > 0:34:20It's fire engine water?

0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Yes. - Oh, that's going to be warm.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26SIRENS BLARE, HORN HONKS

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Oh, my gosh!

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Oh, that is a big hose!

0:34:32 > 0:34:34All right. Are you ready?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40LAUGHTER

0:34:42 > 0:34:46It's cold! It's cold! I can feel the car lowering.

0:34:46 > 0:34:52'The car that can drive farthest before the water level drops below the steering wheel wins.'

0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Yeah, the wipers are going to help with all that egg and soda! - The mats are floatin'!

0:34:56 > 0:35:02'The Fiero was filled with an aroma of gasoline, rotten eggs

0:35:02 > 0:35:04'and Drakkar Noir.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09'And if that wasn't enough, my car wouldn't start under its own power.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12'So I asked the guys if they would help me out.'

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Oh, how much does that weigh?

0:35:19 > 0:35:20Good God!

0:35:20 > 0:35:21Come on!

0:35:21 > 0:35:26- Hey, wait a minute. We're trying to beat him.- You're right.

0:35:26 > 0:35:27Bummer!

0:35:29 > 0:35:34'It wasn't looking good for the Fiero to make it back into production.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38'Now it was my turn and without any of those pesky, modern electronics,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41'my Cutlass should do just fine.'

0:35:48 > 0:35:50It's already coming out.

0:35:52 > 0:35:56- He's looking for a gear. - Look at the car!

0:35:56 > 0:35:59It looks a lot better.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02It's American-built quality right here!

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- All right, Adam!- Go, go, go!

0:36:10 > 0:36:14Ha-ha-ha-ha! Yeah, baby!

0:36:14 > 0:36:17How's that possible?

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Oh, look at it! - That's HOW we do it!

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- He's still going. - He's still going!- Look at that!

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Right up on the incline. There you go.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- That's it, baby! - Wow! It is out of sight.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35'Even though the Cutlass was leaking badly and weighed a ton,

0:36:35 > 0:36:39'its 350 Rocket propelled the hopester around the track.'

0:36:39 > 0:36:42It smells kinda bad, but it runs really good.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46- No, no, no! Don't pass the Fiero. - Keep on going!- Nooo!

0:36:46 > 0:36:51- Keep on going. He's going to lap the Fiero!- He is right on the steering wheel. That is the end.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54He's pulling over. He's done. He's done.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Whoa!

0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Oh, wow!- Mother of pearl! - That is like a river.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- How fast she go? - It's tough to tell. The speedometer was underwater.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08- I think you're up, my friend. Zip up and dive in. - It's all you, big daddy.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Did you pee? I peed.

0:37:10 > 0:37:16- I'm downstream from you, my friend.- I didn't pee now. I peed when I was in it.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Can you breathe?- Yeah. - How about now?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Oh!- OK. You're good.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Hold my glasses. - Can you see anything without your glasses?- I cannot.

0:37:27 > 0:37:33'The firemen told me Tanner's Fiero had taken on 500 gallons. My Cutlass - 1,200.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38'And they estimated the Buick would hold 2,500 gallons.

0:37:38 > 0:37:44'That's a staggering 20,000lbs, plus a bowling ball and Rutledge's head!'

0:37:44 > 0:37:46That is a lot of water!

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Look at the back tyre. - Oh, my gosh!

0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Get back in there - That is awful!- Get in there!

0:37:53 > 0:37:54Get in there!

0:37:54 > 0:37:59Dear Lord, I don't want to die in a Buick.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Look at the door handle! - LAUGHTER

0:38:02 > 0:38:05The back seats are...

0:38:05 > 0:38:09'The Roadmasters' electronics were going haywire.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13'As the water level continued to rise, the wagon made a cry for help.'

0:38:13 > 0:38:15Go! Go! Go!

0:38:15 > 0:38:17HORN BLARES

0:38:17 > 0:38:21I can't see anything!

0:38:21 > 0:38:22Oh! Oh!

0:38:22 > 0:38:27LAUGHTER

0:38:27 > 0:38:30That's 5,000lb driven by a blind man!

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Come on, baby!

0:38:34 > 0:38:36- We should just look for smoke. - Yeah.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42'My Buick was performing beautifully.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45'If my family truckster

0:38:45 > 0:38:50'could make it past Adam's Cutlass, it would be going back into production.'

0:38:50 > 0:38:53I've got to lower the steering wheel.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55HONR BLARES

0:38:55 > 0:38:58LAUGHTER

0:38:58 > 0:38:59He's still...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01No! Oh!

0:39:01 > 0:39:07'The Buick was victorious. I grabbed my trophy and headed for the winner's circle.'

0:39:07 > 0:39:09HORN BLARES

0:39:09 > 0:39:12HORN STOPS

0:39:14 > 0:39:18- OK, there's your trophy. - Very well done.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22That is how a Buick Roadmaster gets it done.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27Well, as much as I hate to admit it, you are indeed the Roadmaster.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Boys, there's just one last thing left to do.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33I'm taking this baby back to Detroit, so hold that.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37Shotgun. Ooh, that means you're riding bitch.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42- We're there.- Oh! It's going to be a long ride to Detroit.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54There's some sort of electrical noise coming from down here.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Don't worry about that. It's by your feet.

0:39:59 > 0:40:04- You've got an apple to eat on the way.- I got hungry.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Yeah!

0:40:14 > 0:40:18'Dear, GM. Throughout the history of your company

0:40:18 > 0:40:22'you have committed yourself to building great cars for the American people.

0:40:22 > 0:40:27'But we think it's time you do more than build a car FOR us. You should build a car WITH us.

0:40:27 > 0:40:33'This car should have enough space to fit any kind of family

0:40:33 > 0:40:35'and give you the freedom to go anywhere,

0:40:35 > 0:40:39'or do anything you want to do,

0:40:39 > 0:40:43'and have the durability to tread through any hardship,

0:40:43 > 0:40:46'just like America.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51'Thank you.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53'Signed, your shareholders.'

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Good work, fellas.

0:41:05 > 0:41:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:17 > 0:41:22What did you guys think of this? Do you think this would help us bring GM back? Yeah?

0:41:22 > 0:41:29- It was a pretty amazing test. - And it still runs. We drove it in here. But the message is clear.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32This is the car that, if we remade it, could save GM.

0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Would you guys like to see our version of the new Roadmaster? - AUDIENCE: Yeah!

0:41:37 > 0:41:42- I'd like to see that.- Ladies and gentlemen, here it is.- Ah!

0:41:42 > 0:41:48Look at this beautiful, sleek wagon. It's not your grandpa's Buick. It's totally updated.

0:41:48 > 0:41:54When you see it from the side, you'll see what we're talking about. THAT is a stylish wagon.

0:41:54 > 0:41:59We still, of course, have the applique, vinyl, woodgrain sticker.

0:41:59 > 0:42:04Because you don't want to lose the classic nostalgia of the first one.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07There's no wire wheels. It's got big 20's on it.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10The original Buick portholes are coming back.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14Vista roof is going to run the entire length of the car, rather than just on the back.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18So it's glass, so it's really hot. The children will burst into flames.

0:42:18 > 0:42:23Also - you can't see on here - but there is a hole for a snorkel.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27Which brings me to the interior. It is entirely waterproof!

0:42:27 > 0:42:33The seat covers are also egg resistant, should some jerk throw eggs in your car.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36It will continue to have the rear-facing seats.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39It will hold eight people and... What's that?

0:42:39 > 0:42:43Hey, wait a second! That's a six speed. Oh, yes!

0:42:43 > 0:42:47I mean, the best of all things GM put into one car.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51THIS car could save GM and people would buy.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53I agree. What do you guys think?

0:42:53 > 0:42:56- AUDIENCE: Yeah! - I'd drive it!

0:42:56 > 0:43:01- I would drive that every day. - I'm sure you would.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04You'd be the coolest grandfather ever! Yes, you would.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08That's all we've got this week. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
