I have to agree with tonym. I have just about every episode of Top Gear from the last year. The Cool Wall is a very, very arbitrary and opinionated item, often just to razz people. Oftentimes the younger guy (I always forget his name) will place a car in the cool section, and Jeremy will disagree and put the car way up high on the wall in the uncool section so the other guy can't reach it.
Even though the show is *extremely* opinionated and sometimes just plain silly, that's what makes it fun. You *really* can't take it too seriously, or you'll find yourself getting angry. It's a fantastic show, you just have to go along with it.

Jeremy is a ball of laughs. I really do think half of the stuff he says is just to get good ratings on a car show. Compare Top Gear and Fifth gear to some of the Motorweek, Motortrend shows we have and they are much more fun to watch. Do you really think companies will constantly let them borrow cars for them to really really rip them in half? It is what it is and I think both Tiff and Jeremy really know how to drive. Tiff posted lap times close to what the Ferrari's test driver put up in only 5 laps to get familiar with the car. Oh and one last thing, Tiff also said the Z'ed is also one of the best sport coupe' that he's ever driven in that price. And what's a ******? haha

I'll take tiff's review over jeremy's as much as I love listening to jeremy amuse me.
I thought it was lame he was bashing the engine in the Z.
I do think a lot of what he said is somewhat true though. The flat torque curve dosen't actually make you feel like you're going as fast as one that was more of a climbing one - that's half the reason why turbo cars can feel faster aside from being fast in the first place.

And like BadDriver said up above, Tiff is a retired pro racecar driver with quite a history behind him. Definitely a good guy to trust when it comes to a car's performance merits.
And for those that haven't seen either of the shows, Top Gear is far more tongue-in-cheek and sports car related (as well as any other craziness they can come up with). I've found Fifth Gear to be a bit more serious, actually reviewing cars for real. Top Gear is far more fun to watch, though.
