Top Gear - Tuesday 28 Feb 2012 air date 
 
This was a typical prime time entertaining show as I expected.  It did  
nothing towards examining what or why the car(s) depicted were bad and/or  
unsafe and merely reinforced public conception or misconception of the  
attributes of each vehicle.  The tenants used could be applied to any car  with same 
results.  I'm not even sure why the Pinto caught fire.  It  was obviously 
staged.  Throwing eggs a moving car's windshield does not  prove anything.
 
On a lighter side there were no bikini clad 'hotties' but the Corvair did  
win.
 
Television is probably the worst medium to explore safety issues.  One  
thing I've always been told about television is, "DON'T take it  seriously."  
Not for nothing they call it the boob tube.

Did  anyone have the opportunity to see the top gear program with the  
Corvair.  If so, how was our little friend  portrayed?
