Ah, but they couldn't kill it! It now resides in a place of honour in the TG studio. :)

My fave is the Lotus-tuned Lada episode.  The Toyota one comes in a close second though!

I saw a Signet wagon yesterday - first one I've seen in years!

This is old, but I love it. Destroying a Toyota Pickup.  :o

Enjoy.

That is great. Curiously I "destroyed" my 88 Toyata 4*4 with less abuse than that. Of course that was with the new fancy schmancy V6 with EFI and the IFS. I guess they were already losing their toughness.

I'd have to vote for the Toyota one as well, with the new American episode a close second.  Third place is a tie between the "Toybota" and the Ariel Atom face-deforming shenanigans.

A lot of the show is staged (like the races across Europe vs. Captain Slow), but I'm not sure about the redneck attack.  It does seem way too stereotypical to not be staged...
