Crickey it's the Rozzers!

Richard as a Baddie in a Rolls-Royce Ghost
Top Gear UK Fans rejoice! Another thrilling episode of Top Gear UK is on tonight at 9 p.m. on BBC America. This time, the guys head to Albania to test out three super-expensive luxury sedans: the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the Rolls-Royce Ghost, and the Bentley Mulsanne, well when I say the Bentley Mulsanne, I mean a Yugo. You'll see what I'm taking about when you watch it tonight. Then the guys discuss Ferrari's newest creation, the Ferrari FF, which they think looks absolutely fantastic because it brings back the great design that was the shooting brake. Then, Clarkson tests out three high-performance hatchbacks: the Ford Focus RS500, the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400, and the Volvo C30 PCP Polestar, all of which you can't even own. Then, British talk show host Jonathan Ross comes back to Top Gear to set a lap in the Kia Cee'D. It should be one exciting episode. Tune in tonight to see all of the action.

Electric Luxury

2012 Rolls-Royce 102EX
Should luxury go electric? That's a question even Rolls-Royce wants an answer to. The Geneva Motor Show begins in about a week and Rolls-Royce is planning to bring their newest concept car to the showroom. They've labeled it the 102EX, but in essence, it is an Electrified Phantom. The massive V12 has been replaced with some massive electric batteries and motors. Even the flying lady (picture shown) at the front of the car lights up when you turn the car on. But, this is just a teaser pic. We'll be able to see the whole car in a few days. Then, we'll see if luxury should go electric.
