This is an old clip
Very different tastes in the UK than over here - humor, auto styling etc.
I agree with a lot of what he says.
A lot of what he says is true and you can't deny it (rear visibility, 1st gear etc.), ****-pit size (Jeremy Clarkson is about 6' 4") - especially the Budweiser comment!!!
The TV program which that article from is completely commercial free (no sponsors etc). The presenters are 100% free to give their honest opinion.
Jeremy Clarkson did an auto TV program over here - he had to test drive a BMW - he wanted to really slate it but the producers would not let him due to BMW had bought commercial time, and they would only pay the extortionate prices if the car had a good review.
Maybe all the reasons he states are why it never took off over here.
Face it, it's an expensive toy - not many people/families can use a toy everyday for tramsport.
Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but the SUV pulls the Harleys a lot better than the Xfire does!!!
