the new ones are hilarious as heck though. I only hate the way they constantly criticize american cars, but if you can get past that the show is genuinely funny, and sometimes brilliant.

The older ones aren't bad, but aren't nearly as funny as today. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/21/and-the-stig-is/

Both of the links I posted are from the newest season. I thought the "Stig" taking off his helmet was amusing.

There are several people I know of in my company who run veggie oil. It's a good idea.

I like that show, but even not being a US Citizen I can see they are not objective when is about an american car. I jus saw the one with the Challenger, the Zr1 and the Cadillac, was a nice one and they have to accept that those are awesome cars.

For the most part, they do nothing but rag on American cars and don't talk about anything good. Heck for quite a while, if you look back, every American car went around their track in the rain. Maybe coincidence, but it sure doesn't seem like it. Maybe the Americans cars aren't as good as the others, but their bias only makes their review worse.

Clarkson owned a Ford GT, yes, but did he ever say ONE good thing about it? No.
And I don't remember hearing about him owning a Z06, though I may just not have heard about it. However, from the way he just complained and ignored all of the positives when he was reviewing it, I doubt it. He complained about a lot of minor things, nothing major, but acted like it was the end of the world.

OK, I stand corrected. However, after owning it for a couple days, all he did was complain for the rest of the season. When is that GT-X1 video from? I've never even heard of that car, much less seen that review.

In the first video link Ordonez1307 posted he says it is "EPIC" heh. Def did say something good about it, and said he loved it.

OK, even if he didn't rag on it later (which he did), that's still one car. Out of how many they've reviewed?
