This clip is from the end of the final episode of season 13, the last review of that season. It's about the V12 aston martin vantage.

The comment Jeremy Clarkson makes is the point. I hope it isn't true. Makes me sad to think it may be. I ended up being a bit down after seeing it. Watch and you'll understand.

That is a little depressing, and the background music and way in which it is filmed did not help.

IMO, though, there will always be fast cars with big motors. I don't see the human beings fascination with speed ever going away, and therefore I don't ever see cars like this dying out.

if technology advances enough, fast cars with big engines will still be a possibility. Its all a matter of getting out from under the oil industry. We are already heading down the path of I-Robot. In Tailand, there is a company that has created a full humanoid robot. It is fully articulate and is able to play ping pong. It hasn't won a match yet but eventually, they say it will and are wanting one in every home.

Electric cars can be faster, quieter, and more fuel efficient than IC cars. If drivers crave that old IC sound they can upload engine sounds to be emitted from the car. So pick a v12, v8, bike from tron, or whatever you want.

And look like a total tool.

That's worse then vegitarians doing everything they can to eat things that taste just like meat, without it actually being meat.
If you don't want to eat meat, quit trying to make your shit food taste like it!

yea it does sound like mlp's (remember him?) fake bov idea, but I have heard of electric motorcycle companies considering it for safety reasons (a quiet motorcycle is easy to miss). Who cares what others think if you like it.

funny you say that, around where I live, there is a movement to make the prius's and other hybrids (and full electric) need some sort of noise making device because the hard of hearing... are, well... having trouble hearing them and nearly getting hit as they walk around Portland.
