Apparently, the G-coupe might be misunderstood by UK folks.

"We don't know what it means, therefore it is stupid."

They criticize it because of its good technology? I knew what everything he said meant, I think he's just an idiot. Then he criticizes it for having a name that isn't as "prestigious" as Lexus? Sort of like how Car and Driver likes that $hitty 3 series just because it's a BMW.

Clarkson hasn't been right even since a GT-R snapped his head off his neck. I have faith in Hammond though.

A good drinking game would be to take a shot every time Jeremy mentions "Datson" once they actually get to drive it.

Those guys are clowns man...I was never particularly thrilled about their show...It's more like a standup comedy.

I think it's the press material that's presented to them that's horrible

Man, you guys are dense.


Are you seriously taking Top Gear for an objective review on a car? Couldn't have picked a more SUBJECTIVE show to watch, really. If you cared for something more objective go watch some other American shows or even 5th Gear.

The only reason why Top Gear is so good is because it's entirely about the host driver giving his own personal, unedited, unfiltered opinion on the cars, whether you agree or disagree with him. If you want to see more instances of Jeremy's bias go watch the C6 corvette review, he actually even had the car driven to lose a drag race to the NSX, I believe.

Good.


Anyone who watches this show for a factual presentation and a serious mindset will be horribly disappointed.

What a bunch of morons. The show must not be doing too well, they can't even afford seats in their freaking studio. You gotta stand there for an hour or more and listen to some british ******* trying to get a laugh.
