i dunno i kinda like jeremy's reviews and his comments... makes me laugh... although yes they are very biased which is why i started this thread.. they rip on american cars...yet they seem to forget amercan cars are alot cheaper than the cars they compare them too..

you mean a chrysler 300 doesn't handle as good as a BMW? The Corvette is faster than the Ferrari but it's interior and build quality aren't as good? NO WAY!!! SHOCKER!!!

Exactly. And all of the jabs they take at Americans and their manufacturers really **** me off to no end. At least we have all of our teeth.

I don't think any one relies on that show for knowledge its purely entertainment

The review format is off but who ******* cares I won't be in the market for the cars they are reviewing

It is the best car related show out there. How can you not enjoy the stig flying around their track in a 458 italia?

that's half the show! seeing how the cars stack up against each other! unfortunately the odd time the conditions aren't realy a fair comparison... i've seen him do the track in driving rain with a car before and it was still being compared to other cars that did it on a sunny day but ah well... it's entertainment as you said.

This is GM but, the Mustang is making its mark. GT500 around only $50k being put in the same category as a Corvette Z06 and A Nissan GTR? It's insane. Not to mention that the GT and standard mustang is putting out crazy numbers and are crazy cheap.

I was reading the reviews on Motor Trends website and it got good reviews. The second review I watche they compared the 05 SS/SC to the srt-4. I was glad to see the cobalt won hahaha.

Yeah but if they did the cobalt they'd have to do the neon which they'd never do.

Doesn't surprise me since the Cobalt cannot be purchased in Europe. If top gear US was around a few years ago I bet it would have been on the show.

There are a couple of SRT 4's rolling around here im pretty sure if Top Gear wanted up i could gather up some people and it would be so on.

I also would really like that a cobalt hit top gear's track but it won't be possible. It can not be purchase in Europe, its out of production and Cruze is more probable to appear.
