i really really like top gear but one has to realize that jeremy, hamster (hehe what a horrible nick name), and captain slow are not really good car critics ... they know little about the internal workings of a car and that's why they were chosen ... they are meant to give the average joe opinion for whatever entertainment value it has and that's all.

jeremy however has been a gross gross offender in many reviews were he misses the point and target of the vehicle by a mile. BUT as soon as they review a jaguar he is all "well it feels like it lifts above 90 but if you drive it below that its a great car ... " even though its not much less than its better competition and then he offers his funny analysis of why it happens how the rear spoiler has too much down force lol ... sure he all of a sudden is a aerodynamics expert. more likely its a flaw of the suspension spring rates they chose for the car.

added: i am shocked how well the show has done, and it speaks well of the European motorist ... it shows how much effort and thought they put into their driving skill through how much thought they put into what they drive. shows with much more car savvy (near auto engineer like in some cases) hosts have aired on TV here in the US and did not do very well at all as there are too many people that got their drivers licenses in a box of cheerios here hehe...
