"It's got a live rear axle... kind of like running around with your shoelaces tied together."

 

"0-60 in less than 6 seconds, but it doesn't feel fast..." --followed by--- ..."it doesn't just accelerate, it rears and snorts."

 

"Of course, European cars would run circles around this car."

 

I've never needed an annoying English man to explain to me which cars I like and which ones I don't. Nine times out of ten, the TopGear narratives sound like they were written by an Ivey league Marketing executive instead of by real car guys.

The brand is a marketing tool anymore. I hate to say it but Corvette is almost getting to that point to. Everytime it seems like they do though, they bump up the power a little bit and throw up slightly better performance numbers. Executives are stupid.

they can be harsh (isn't that their job?), but the car does have its flaws. overall they've given favorable reviews of several american cars. like dj said, they absolutely loved the gto and ford gt...

Which is odd, because they called my car "complete rubbish"

I think they like the history of the car, more then the car. Cause it sucks

Hmm - watched the vid, and to my dumbass ears it sounds like they liked it. They really wanted to hate it - like all the nippon drivin nancyboys on here want to - and yet... Went on the "cool wall". (loved the groans of the crowd too - damn europe hates america right now - I LOVE IT)

 

Actually - I agree with everything they said. Too bad they won't test the upcoming Cobra.
