First off, both of these reviews were done in the fist year of the Crossfire but they are NOT by the same guy!!! Your first post links to a review by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, this review famous for him stating the styling reminds him of a dog making poo.

The second review is from the same year, but it's Tiff Needell of Fifth Gear (different person, different show, different British TV channel even) and, yes, he liked the car more than Clarkson liked it.

The review you've apparently missed is from a year or two later when the three guys from Top Gear (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May) took a Crossfire Roadster, Audi TT Roadster and Nissan 350Z Roadster to Iceland and compared them head to head. They each drew different final conclusions, and Clarkson admitted to not liking the Crossfire Coupe when he review it previously (that's referencing the clip in your first link) but he ultimately chose the Crossfire Roadster over the Audi and Nissan. So he's not a total Crossfire hater.

Honestly though, I don't really care what he likes or dislikes - Top Gear is just entertaining as hell to watch and I can't wait for new episodes to start airing again next week!!!
