See what they have to say overseas.

Could it be, a European TV show not completely bashing it?
Thanks for the tip, Tom!

The 300-hp 2.5L 5-cylinder Duratec engine under the hood of the 2009 Ford Focus RS definitely gives it an edge over many of its rivals. The folks at Fifth Gear think that the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X can definitely give the Focus RS some strong competition so they decided to put the two cars head-to-head in a series of tests on a track.

Resorting to the ever popular "supercar in the snow" theme, the U.K. TV program Fifth Gear recently headed out to the Italian Alps to see what a powerful lime green Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 could do in cold conditions.
Tiff Needell tested the Italian beast with traction control turned on and off, pronouncing the latter much more fun to drive than when ESP is activated. Needell also explained how the traction control limits the throttle and "makes the car near to crashproof as you can get."
What do they say about the latest Yank musclecar? Give it a watch!

Crikey! They give some props to the new "Yank" musclecar from the states. And they are a bit jealous that they don't have any over there. One small tidbit - they say that there is a big waiting list which must have been that bad relayed info back when it was first being released. I passed TWO Dodge dealerships this morning with Challengers sitting out front. Meh, I'm sure they will find new homes soon enough.
Watch the Fifth Gear crew beat on the new STi.

Tiff and team didn't think too highly of Subarus first vehicles with the revised look. What about the high-performance STi? Let the video show you whether or not this car is even a contender for the Mitsubishi Evo X.

Jason Plato has set the Nissan GT-R in race mode and is about to give it a thorough beating. Dubbed the "Japanese Supercar", the Nissan GT-R doesn't leave anyone frowning. Giving other exotics like Porsche a run for its money, this upcoming technology-filled ride will definitely make you think differently about Nissan's performance capabilities.

The ultimate race. The lightweight Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, less weight and more power than it's sibling, takes on one of the fastest bikes in production - the Ducati 1098. Two small competitions and then the final hoorah of a race where you can pretty much guess the winner.

It's always up for debate - which is a safer bet? An old tank of a car that has always had a talked up safety rating (Volvo) or a new car using the newest materials. In this Fifth Gear clip, a new five-star NCAP certified Renault Modus mini-MPV compares in a frontal crash with an old Volvo 940 Estate.
