From Fifth Gear website


** Detailed Spoiler Warning **

Honda Legend
When it comes to executive saloons, buyers flock to Mercedes, BMW and Audi, the Honda Legend doesn't currently show up on anybody's radar. But Honda want to fight back with their fourth generation model and so they've packed it full of technology. Jason Plato takes the new version out and pits it against its rivals - the Audi A6 and a BMW 530i. Honda engineers reckon the Honda's revolutionary four-wheel-drive system is better, but which is really the best drive?
Citroen C6
The C6 is luxurious, stylish and, dare we say, a presidential car. The big feature Citroen push with this car is its "magic carpet" ride quality and the self-levelling Hydractive suspension. We decided to test the claim in true Fifth Gear style and in a dramatic stunt Tom Ford and Tiff Needell re-enact the 1962 Presidential assassination attempt on Charles de Gaulle. We're going to find out if the C6 compares to the Citroen DS, famed for saving the life of a president.
Rally Cross
Vicki learns how to drive like a rally star - on a budget! Rallycross is a bizarre motorsport, it's a bit like touring cars with a Rally stage thrown in for good measure but you can run a car for as little as fifteen thousand pounds a year! There are twenty or so cars, tearing across mud churning it up and making it more treacherous with every lap and as you might expect, this can make for some epic crashes...
Series 9, week 10 - Shootout
Next week on our track, the famous Fifth Gear shoot-out is between two of the more grown up hot hatches. The BMW 130i and the VW Golf R32. With 265bhp and a 0-62 time of 6.1 seconds the BMW is more powerful, lighter and quicker in a straight line that our Golf. But at £26,540 the BMW also costs approximately £2,000 more. Tiff Needell is in Anglesey to give the definitive decision on the ultimate hot hatch.
Radford MINI
Tim Lovejoy joins the Fifth Gear team and asks Carl and Didz from Dirty Pretty Things to pass judgement on the new Radford Mini. The iconic car of the 60's was owned by the Beatles and Brit Ekland amongst many other famous faces. Nowadays Radford have an exclusive range of private clients for whom they create one-offs, from the design stage through to building the finished product. So will the new Mini be cool enough to impress the rock stars?
Megaweb
Toyota Megaweb is billed as the world's biggest showroom - in fact it's more like a Toyota theme park. Admission is free, and it attracts visitors of all ages. The atmosphere is very relaxed, with no pushy salesmen, just cars and exhibits to peruse at your leisure. There are even environmental and road safety displays featuring superhero's and pop bottles! It certainly gives the typical British dealership something to aspire to...
