They were kinder than Top Gear was. At least they didn't rag on it for having a live rear axle. I don't understand how they complain about the handling, then complain about how it requires alot of work to get it to oversteer.
But I do love how they say its ridiculously cheap to buy here.

Im not a big Top Gear fan.
Fifth Gear all the way
Both are pretty brutal with american cars. Cant really blame them, they bring up some good points sometimes.

they are brutal because they are compairing their cars with ours... to their (more common) form of racing. alot of american cars are built for the drag, which isnt something that they find attractive.

Yea, quite a bit better review than the Top Gear one. Those ***-screws put a GT500 on a dyno and then said Ford was lying about it having 500hp...........cuz the dyno said it had 440.
You'd think that a crew of guys that are supposedly so saavy about all things automotive would at least make an effort to learn about the difference between crank HP and rear wheel HP before making complete tards of themselves on a much watched television show.

I'm sure they knew, but have to live up to their anti-American ideals.
