Can be ordered here -

Might make a bit of money if they sell out and people go wild over it.

Would probably get annoying within five minutes.

Can you see them making more money? £180 isn't cheap enough for a gamble really.

That's an iPhone tho, who the hell goes wild for the latest TomTom? Plus, TopGear merchandise is crap tat mostly, altough obviously this will be an ok bit of kit with it being TomTom.

The voices will be on the internet as soon as they can be bought, if not already.

No one will want it, but they will buy one anyway, then they will accuse it of being scripted but continue to use it anyway, then moan about it after the journey
