[During the opening sequence.]
Tonight: A man behaving quickly in our reasonably priced car; A piece of monument valley with wheels; And the world's best looking car, in our hangar.

In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (8), Richard Hammond (5), James May (1)
[On the Koenigsegg]
For instance, it's made from autoclaved epoxy pre-impregnated carbon fibre, it's a true semi-monocoque: the front end is mounted on a chrome molybdenum subframe, and the engine sits on top of a machined aluminium dry sump that's also a supporting beam for the rear subframe. That's interesting. And there's more, too, because none of this behind-the-scenes technology has interfered in any way with what Koenigsegg call the general ichthyomorphic design principle, these are the... the aesthetics. And the best bit of those aesthetics are the dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors.

You could drive this thing to the gym, turn around, go straight home again; you'd have had more exercise than if you'd done a workout!
[On the Renault Mégane's interior] Mothers will be fishing kids out of obscure cubbyholes for years!
[On the price of a Hummer H2]
And it seems like quite a lot, when you peel away this amazing body and find out what's underneath. Yep, underneath the abs and the pecs is a GMC Tahoe, which is ugly, big, slow, and is completely flummoxed by snow, mud, gravel, soil, grass clippings, drizzle, or even a light breeze.

And it stops like a duck on a frozen lake.
[On the Hummer H2]
It's a Roman orgy, a Hawaiian barbecue, a Viennese waltz, and a helicopter gunship attack on Las Vegas, all rolled into one... it's fantastic!
[Regarding Clarkson's review of the Hummer H2]
You're not seriously suggesting that this... revolting, plastic fronted piece of pig-iron is a serious alternative to something like an X5?
[...]
Size is important in these things. [beams]
That's a little harsh.
This is the Talon riot control vehicle. Big, innit?
Now that is what I call a control panel. Grenade launcher. Impulse generator! Lovely.
Well, if things get really nasty, I can always get stupid and just headbutt stuff.
[crashes the Talon through a portacabin]
[On the Aston Martin V8 Vantage]
Going on sale in 2005, so have you just ordered a Porsche 911 recently? [sniggers, audience laughs].
