Default Top Gear Reviews 350z

Anyone have any idea why Jeremy from Top Gear hates the 350z so much?

That's extremely old. The car he was driving was a pre production model I believe as well. That guy hates the nicest things. He hated the lamborghini gallardo. It's still a cool show to watch though, just don't pay attention to their reviews.

oooooooooooooold episode...
Well JC hates the Z but the rest of the Top Gear staff certainly doesn't.
In fact Top Gear magazine gave Z Car of the Year and forced to have JC give the trophy to Nissan himself lol

Plus Tiff Needle loves the Z.
When it comes to driving skills Tiff>>>>>>>>>>Jezza

That guy always cracks me up when he calls something "rubbish" not all cars can be supercars. But don't tell him that because I don't think he knows and it might ruin it for him.

This is terribly outdated. Since then Jeremy has driven the 350Z on the track, and made some positive comments. Not as many as the RX8, but still better than his original review.

Top Gear's web site gives very high marks to the Z.

Being in the UK, I watch every Top Gear as soon as its out and JC is not as bad he you may think.

He loves the Gallardo Spider as you can see in the review programme of that car and I think that he has finally conceded to liking the Zed.

His initial thoughts were that it was too heavy and too loud; attributes that I think make up part of the Zed's appeal! But now, I believe he rates the car highly!

And as already said, it is a great show and lets hope the 'Hamster' is fit and well after his crazy accident.

Hey Mark,
Why do you guys call it the Zed in the U.K.?

Thats how they pronounce the letter "Z". We pronounce it "Zee" but other countries like UK, France, Canada(?) go the other way for some reason.
