I am a huge fan of this show! The humor is outstanding even the wife enjoys the show! The other evening they had a rerun of the crossfire test drive (those of you who watched this episode will know exactly what I'm talking about) any way they hated it! I feel it was more the fact that their beloved German breed had created a b4stard child with a an American motor company that gave them such hostility toward the car but to this day they never test drove the srt6 which is different animal completely! I wonder how much poking it would take to get the car on the show... I'd love to see the srt6 tearing up the test track!

 

Rule #1: If it's an American car, hate it. That's just how it goes.


Now, there have been exceptions here or there. We're certainly not the only country on the business end of their scrutiny.

I agree, would be great to see a solid performance from either or both models.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again..... everyone remembers the negative review of the coupe and the famous "dog making a poo" line uttered by Jezza but they seem to forget this:

A couple of years later when they compared the Crossfire Roadster, Audi TT Roadster and Nissan 350Z Roadster, which one did Clarkson pick as his favorite? Yep, the Crossfire.

 

Your right. They did rag on it some but Clarkson did pick it. Here's a clip from that episode.

 

I don't care what he picked. I picked it. That is of value to me. I evaluate my cars. No one else does.

 

They rag on everything to some degree, even the cars they like a lot. I saw a rerun last night on BBC America where Hammond was testing an Aston Martin V8 Roadster and he ripped the sat-nav to bits along with all the Ford switchgear, but otherwise adored the car.

But like arado said just above - I don't care what he picked either. I but what I like for the reasons I have and don't really care what anyone else thinks. Anyone buying a car to impress someone else has some issues as far as I'm concerned.
