Default Jay Leno Reviews the C6

I guess Leno is filling in for Clarkson's column:
http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/art...560632,00.html

I wonder how the British paper got a hold of Leno in the first place.

As it says at the bottom of the article... JC is away...

They have had guest columnist in the past.

I always wonder why... If an American car is so good, why don't they sell it in Europe, rather than going streight for the UK market ?

Europe drives on the same side as the US, but you never see the cars here...

He doesn't have quite the same flair for writing as Clarkson, but it's not bad.

His writing is, dare I say, pretty unsophisticated. No match for Clarkson really.

Leno rocks. Sure, he may not be an awesome columnist, but he's a awesome guy and is a true car buff.

Having said that, as much as I like this one, I’ll wait for the new Z06 when it comes out later this year. The Z06 has 500bhp, plus it’s an aluminium chassis, not steel. From what I hear I believe it’s faster and will handle better than the new Ferrari F430.
