RE: damn brits knocking our cars!!
Who cares? Did you buy your cars to impress others or because you love it? I love my car and I didn't buy because I wanted to impress others. I could care less what anyone else says about my car as long as I love what I'm driving.

they lie and make fun of american cars like crazy. I love how they use a chassis dyno to judge crank horsepower numbers and don't account for drivetrain powerloss....447rwhp=almost 500chp? no 447rwhp= about 515hp. and i love how he said they cost 35,000 lbs. That's over $70,000. Another bs review from top gear. Even in the z06 review, they praise it for its strongpoints throughout the whole episode, then at the end they say, "but this car is almost undrivable on the street, it is so rattly and uncomfortable, i would never buy one." Well i've been in 2 ls7 z06's and they were more comfortable than i expected. They never take price into account, they compare every aspect of the car (including interior and comfort) to a car that performs similarly in europe, and in almost every class, an american car dominates performance for the price range.

I care when 80% of the people i know that are even moderate car enthusiasts watch this show. You know what all this bull**** means? The people that don't know what they are talking about and buy all this bull****, are FAAAAAARRR less likely to buy a mustang after watching this. It's like anti-ford advertising.

Top Gear is a show to be watched for entertainment purposes only.
Fifth Gear is boring but much less biased and much more informational. Plus, they are better drivers.
And I'm surprised nobody's posted the clip where a Mustang GT races a Lotus Elise on the track, or when they raced a horse and a V6 auto convertible, which they called a GT repeatedly and talked about 300hp and 4.6L, around a circular track.
What about when they raced a Dodge pickup against an Ariel Atom?

wait a minute...you think ppl actualy make their car choices based on a UK car show? I doubt that very much. Yes its a good show with some cool stuff and sarcasm (if you can handle it) but watch it to determine a purchase or form an opinion of an American car? nah - its apples and oranges my friend. Pick up motor trend, consumer reports, yahoo motors or whatever.

Don't take Top Gear too seriously guys!! Just for the record they don't just bash Ford's..they knock just about everything...maybe Ford became their favourite when MG went bust. As was said earlier Top Gear is for entertainment only.
Oh btw, I don't hate Americans either.
