I don't agree with most of it. Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.

I tried the link and it works fine for me. Maybe it's best you can't see this. Top Gear of England panned the 350Z, giving it a C- or 3 out of 10, after a 6 minute video review.

That's REALLY weird... you're right soupnazi, it was Top Gear's car of the year, more than once I believe. And in a comparison by Top Gear between the 350z, the RX-8, the TT, and the Crossfire, the 350z came out one top. By a lot. I guess everyone at top gear likes it except Jeremy.

Jeremy is a twit. He doesn't like anything non British. I wouldn't take anything he says to heart, like I said, he's an idiot. I'm glad idiots don't like our cars anyway.

R34 video clip?
Hey did you guys see the R34 video clip...very nice...they love the car, as they should.
Did you also hear him talk about tire wear? tires completely worn on the INSIDE after 5000 miles or so.

Indeed, i watch TopGear for some bits of useful info and entertaining stuff. Sometimes he can be so stupid, putting the Ferrari Enzo on the UNCOOL-Wall proves just that. It was the fastest on the TG track (beating the Carrera GT by a split second or so).
I watch TG just for the humor and nice facts. The personal taste of Jeremy hasn't got my attention for months I know he likes the DB9 but that car is just something else.
How many times he tells us that this is the fastest roadgoing car? he said it with numourous cars, Carrera, enzo, Koenigsegg and so on. Still he prefers a F40 above the enzo. Well, fine... i'll take the enzo then

Wow! That video is amazing! The Britt ranked on the Japanese, the French, the Americans and even the "Czech" project manager. Unreal ! And then he goes on to complain about no back seat ... hello the car isn't a mini-van ! I think the English just have issues with Japanese or American cars that out perform their Jags - oh that's right, Jags are built and owned by Ford Motor Company

He has to be outrageous in order to keep things interesting, like the cool wall... the nicest cars are in the uncool section lol. Also i like how they rate cars with the "soul" in mind, not just numbers on paper. However, i did feel that "his" verdict of the 350z was unfair, he even bagged on the exhaust note? wtf? But damn this show is entertaining to watch.

What an idiot. He didnt want to drive agressively down that road because someone else crashed their car there? And this is a guy that gets paid to reviews cars?
Then he bitches because there is the rear tower brace so there is no room for a dog?
I`ve always thought he was very jaded. After driving Bentley Continental GT`s, Mercielagos and several other $100 000+ cars, I don`t think he`s very fair in his reviews of "lesser" cars.

That guy is one dumb Mother F_____! I saw a review he did before on the Z and just bashed everything about the car. That guy knows nothing about cars. He even said the Z had a Renault engine in it. That's why people like him work at McDonalds. 'Cuz that's all they're good for.

I love Top Gear and 5th Gear -- Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needell are great reviewers and actually speak substantively about the cars they drive rather than just churning out the marketing fluff and 0-60 times.
Jeremy's tastes run on the extreme high end (and yes he likes Itallian, German, French - Renault Megan - and even a few Japanese cars - NSX, Sti, etc.) -- it does not surprise me that he did not appreciate a $30k two-seat sports car with a sparse interior. Tiff on the other hand liked it a lot.
He just didn't like the Z. I doesn't mean that I like my Z any less. And I still love Top Gear.
