I'm excited. Even though Clarkson thinks our cars look like a dog going #2...

Funniest line ever in car reviews. I know people hate him for it but I'm OK with laughing at it.

Notice the slight differences in this car shown to the production models we have?

Radio
Window switch type and location
Lower grille
Engine cover
Any others?

Just got back from my morning walk with Dakota, my 6 yr old, 200 pound Anatolian Shepard.
On the walk, he did a Clarkson, and ya know, he really did remind me of a XF coupe.
Thank God I have a roadster.

That looks "close" to this one I posted about. But in that video, there is no mirror switch, but same top vents, and steering wheel & door panels.

ALso has a line down the back window, and I like that engine cover a lot better.

It is a shame the "test" he does of the crossfire is basically a shredding of the car, he complains about everything I like about it. The only valid complaint which is a non issue is the size of the hatch opening, and who would complain, it isn't like any of it's competition has a larger trunk. I really enjoy that show, and find then very entertaining, but sometimes it is like they are paid off to promote or slam a car.
I am actually surprised he fit. He is not a small person. Also it was a 6pd test and they keep saying "At least it wasn't the automatic, those are horrible". I have a 6sp, and only drove another 6sp, but from what I understand it is the same basic auto as was in my Charger, correct? I LOVED that transmission. (But maybe the 390Lb/Ft has something to do with it.)
