So the guy dissed the Crossfire coupe - you can't please all the people all the time and none of us should really care all that much.

It should be noted that a year or so after doing that review the three guys (Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond) did a comparison of 3 sporty roadsters in Iceland - the Nissan 350Z, Audi TT and Chrysler Crossfire. Clarkson chose the Crossfire as his favorite of the three.

His coupe review gets all the attention because of the dog making a poo comment, but people forget he chose the Crossfire Roadster over some worthy competitors. Selective memory? Or just because there was no memorable/funny line in the roadster comparison episode?
During that year gap, Clarkson must have been haunted in his sleep by his coupe comments and figured he had better play a different card
