He also drives like an old lady, with bent elbows and chest too close to the steering wheel. When I lived in London, I used to watch his show every week on the "telie" Pure entertainment. Though occasinally he would drive very serious cars such as the Jag XJ220 and MacClaren F1

think of it this way...is good television *** kissing a car for 7 minutes that it almost looks like a nissan commercial...or rip it apart and make humerous quips about it's few short commings?

He said 3 out of 10, not 7.

That's a bad review, man. I agree with him on those quality things.
But the engine sounds great to me. Plus, you really feel the torque in a Z so i don't know what he's talking about there.

How can he not commend its looks? The Z has one of the best profiles I've ever seen on a car. The roofline and the short overhangs makes this car look 911-like and very mean-looking.

I still really don't like the fact that he didn't like this car because he is actually an amazing driver and usually gives perfect reviews-- ones that I really agree with. Man............

+1. And every time it's posted, everyone gets all worked up and makes fun of JC. But if it was a positive review we'd all be talking about how funny and how good of a driver he is. This is just one man's opinion people, let him have it and move on. If you're happy with your car, do you really care what the hell some crusty old british man has to say about it?

Well, they absolutely loved the Nissan Morano in the latest episode.

I don't know what the air date was but I suspect its older since he says the TCS isn't available yet (at least in the UK)

"...A Japanese car, made in America, project led by an Indian, with a French engine..."

"...its a mess..."

Sorry if its a repost, running late for work and don't have time to search. I'll host it on one my servers as long as you guys don't blow it up.

2005 Super Black Touring

top gear , definatelly the best of its kind

well if you think about it he's right, nissan is renault
quality of 350z is comparable to that of evo, or srt4, pretty crappy

i love my car but its not what it could be, and we all know it.....

as to the design,
here is german auto designer Zender, this project was completed in 2001, start date around 1999
