Default 350Z Roadster comparison on Top Gear (with Audi TT and Crossfire)

They did a driving impression comparison between the three, main goal was to evaluate the TT. Turns out Jeremy like the Crossfire(shows how stupid he is), James like the TT, and Richard likes the 350Z.

I test drove the Audi TT against the Z and found it's handling was much poorer - too nervous, jumpy - I felt every bump in the road - too much feed back. I'm 5'11" and the few out of the Audi was poor I was looking down out of the bubble of the Audi's roof. With the long dash board it felt like I was looking out of the driver's slot of an army tank.

Nice transmission, good looks but that circle thing is something you either like or not.

I just saw the latest Top Gear. Holy ****, that was fun to watch.

The best part about the show was the Ferrari F430 Spyder. Tears came out... I can't wait to win the lottery...

Clarkson has an issue with the 350Z. Even when the car first came out, his first review of it was negative. He said the engine was designed by Renault (uhhh, hello?) and that the design as a cross between a hamburger and indian food. That was pretty much a racist slight one of the lead designers was an Indian guy and most of the design was US/California inspired.
