Here's a 1hr 20 min long video of a Top Gear's host Jeremy Clarkson going full out to make fun on American car industry. It’s quite amusing if you enjoy Top Gear style humor.

Coworker that I addicted to Top Gear showed interview with Humster few days ago. White Teeth seems to be doing well. Hopefully they can resume showing episodes now.

Comparing the Corvette to herpes... brilliant.

Clarkson rules.

Best use for a Prius I've seen yet.

He's still bitter about the colonies.

I still think he's stretching when he says the Z06 is useless on the road. He just can't get over the fact that it's just as good as the Farrari - at one-third the price. He will never be able to admit that Americans have the ability to create a good car.

No, he probably won't... Then again, he also claimed to be annoyed by American teeth and American food, which leads me to believe that he's got a secret fetish for all things American.

I'm about 2/3 through it, and he admits that the Americans can make a good engine. He's liking that Rouch Mustang though.

Secretly I think he really does like America and it's cars. But with the application of his sarcastic British humour. But he has a point about American cars and their lousy interiors, wobbly handling and inability to get round corners. 'Handles like a land ship' as a English friend put it. Built down to a price I think. It is a puzzle that you Americans just can't get your cars right.

One thing to remember is that he bought a Ford GT40 with his own money! So he can't really hate American cars.

I laughed out loud when he tried to fill the Caddy and the Jag "built by Communists in the midlands" with water and when he blew away the Prius is a .50 calibre machine gun. Then when he walked across the intersection without getting killed. It would never happen here, he would die! Classic!

Still I would sell my soul for a '68 Mustang.

That test wasn't fair. He picked some of the worst vehicles the big 3 are making right now. Instead, he should have picked the... um... well...

Great episode. He couldn’t have scripted many parts of it any more in favor of the Europeans. I liked the Land Rover versus the prissy-kinda-looks-like-an-off-roader H2 and Escalade. The US is making more and more trucks that are only meant to be driven like poor handling cars, but there are also a few that probably could have done much better. Too bad he didn’t enter that old trashed Toyota Hilux Diesel into that race.

My favorite was the 300ish HP Mustang versus the 1 HP Mustang.
