I have my pvr set to record Motoring anytime, it didn't record on Saturday morning.  It must have gotten bumped for something else.  I'm sure it will repeat a couple of times during the week.

Just found out it is a new season now 2011.  So if you have a Rogers pvr that may be why it didn't record.  Stupid Rogers box, if the name changes slightly it won't record.

It finally changed to Motoring 2011.  I was waiting for that to happen in the fall, then I forgot about it.  Thanks!

I just watched the episode online, with the Kia Forte 5, Lacrosse, R8.  I didn't see you, unless you were the voice over on the RVR preview?

It's on today at 1pm, eastern.  HD TSN on Rogers in Ottawa is 506.  I just called home and got my lovely wife to program the pvr for the new name.   ;D

The very end of the last segment.  I think it is segment 4? 

Funny about the colour blue on the RVR.  Mitsubishi's head office is about 8 minutes from our office here right beside my gf's work.  Yesterday I counted 6 Blue RVR's sitting there in thier press fleet.  I'll try to snap a pic.

I watched the show. So you like the RVR eh?

From the show.... one negative of the Jetta is no auto lights "standard". My question to Mr. Fletcher: can you name one compact car that has auto lights "standard"?

Assumption: "Standard" means all trims have the feature.

On the RVR:

I know it's offered, but is it standard (all trims)? This is the part I question. This is not even a standard feature in some of the luxury vericles (Acura, Lexus, Infinity).
