Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Love that show. Best part: Stig in an Audi S4 vs Jeremy in a V - the quote: "An American saloon that outhandles european cars? Ha ha ha ha, no way, we'll see..." *later* "Oh. My. God. How in the $%^@* is this possible?". But even so, Top Gear wouldn't be Top Gear talking about an American car, any American car, without a dig on the interior: "I can't put my finger on it *pause* but the interior feels cheap." You can't put your finger on it because its not you limey bastard, you're just prejudiced. But since its in your contract that you have to make a comment on each and every american car interior on your show regardless or you'll get fired, I forgive you, thats ok I love you anyway Jeremy. Enjoy the car alarm in your GT. The Stig losing to a 'merikan caw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wah. Ok here's a smaller link, not the whole thing but editted down. Be gentle on the retrieving. V section of Top Gear show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Actually, I really like the V, but it has the same quality interior pieces as the new Grand Prix. That stupid nerf-ball foam and brale-like plastic. It's not terrible, but I do agree that it could be way better. That's my only gripe about the car.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 so mowgli, are the dings really as annoying as they make them out to be? That GT he's got sounds like a piece of shit. Not making ford look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 The "dongs" part cracked me up. Love that show. My car doesn't dong at all those things. The shifter does suck. Loads better than other cars with the T56 *cough* Cobra *cough*, but its no Acura thats for sure. Nothing a UCC shifter won't cure. The interior of the V is way better than a Grand Prix. Ugh. Thats insulting. Put down the crack pipe. And remember, on their "cheap comment", to keep things in perspective - with the exchange rate, that Caddy costs $81,000 to the Brits. Its all relative. Too bad they didn't get to do a dry weather run on the track, I'm sure its time would have been higher up the board. Even so, it placed, not too shabby. Notice how close it was (wet) to the Noble's (dry) time? I would have laughed out loud had it beat it on a dry run. And Stig - I'm sure your opinion was formed the moment you ran off the side of the track trying to stick with the V. smile.gif Nice choice of tunes for the solo run though. graemlins/thumb.gif Anyway - I love that show. I feel special having gotten the Top Gear bashing. [ 23. June 2005, 03:02 PM: Message edited by: Mowgli ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sense of humor about myself and my surroundings, so hearing them go off about American cars and culture is hilarious (Watch the Ford GT segment in Detroit). For a $45k-50k car, the CTS-V fuckin rocks, end of story. For $81k, its a collosal rip off, of course they'll be hard on it over there. Plus, in their critisizing of it's many perceived flaws, just remember what else they drive on that show. a caddy getting any sort of aclaim from people who've driven what they have driven is means for celebration. Find the segemnt on the new mustang, they absolutely ripped on it, but gave it a good reveiw at the end. Making fun of americans is good laughs overthere,just like making fun of limeys is good laughs over here. Deal with it, and find an atlas. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
