Yeah - Probably. It is disappointing that people in the UK actually believe what Top Gear presenters say. Who knows what backhanders they take from manufacturers to plug particular cars, or other vested interests they have.

I do like watching Top Gear and some of their comments make sense. However you have to consider the fact that the small guy likes Porsche, the big guy likes Italian cars, and the buffoon seems to like British (or should that be BMW and Ford?). If I was consistently driving supercars, I expect I could even find the performance of the XF lacking. On our roads with the Police and cameras and traffic jams, you don't need 300+HP. It is more fun to keep up with a more powerful car down some of our A-Roads cause you can drive you car better than the other guy. [Had some Merc 320AMG estate blast past me down the A30. I couldn't match him for speed on the straight, I was doing between 135-140mph and he was away - caught him up on the curves.]

You should make up your own mind and buy what is right for you. I like DC as a brand. You get a lot of car for your money; they drive OK; and they are different from your average wind-tunnel designed car. I expect the TT, RX8 etc are all pretty good cars but I wouldn't have one by choice. I do like the Saleen S7 and the new Noble M400.
