Hey guyz im a big TG fan but can we really rely on his version of truth. For starters those guyz couldnt decide between the 350 z, TT, and crossfire soft tops.Than there is Jeremy's obsession for ford GT which he says beats the Lambs. I and fastest laps beg to differ

I also like TG...but do they have to dress like they still live in the flippen 70's???

Jeremy says what he wants, don't take his word for it...look at his debates about Alfa's...he hates them, but loves them as well, and owns/owned one...

And how many of you guys are absolutely to the neck about them trying to push EVERYTHING BRITISH all the time?

TopGear is primarily an show aimed at being entertaining (which it is), with a fairly loose basis in fact. Most of what is said, is the personal opinion of 3 very divergent characters. It's not motoring gospel.

Jezza and Hamster are individually obsessed with whatever cars they own at a given time - until Jeremy trades his for something else, and Hammond writes his off that is.

Maybe because it is a British TV program :confused:

That might be true but u have to admire their knowlegde base/experience of cars. And that james guy does or used give valuable information between specs and $ of makes stuff which is valuable to the used car buyer/s

You're confusing entertainment with reality.

+1

Entertaining show but I would not buy a car based on their recommendations. The only guy I would probably listen to is Captain Slow.

He has a Merc?

How far out of date ARE you?... Last I checked he had a Gallardo spider.

lol guys, it's not really for serious car fanatics... it's a show to laugh at the presenters.

Clarkson had a Volvo XC90. Not exactly a fast car (but a very good & practical car)
