I'd like to take this juction to say that I'm halfway through the video, and this is unquestionably the worst Clarkson video ever. I've sat through 40 minutes of undisguised America-bashing and utterly brainless comparisons and I am thoroughly, utterly disappointed.
Jeremy Clarkson, you've run out of ideas. I mean, seriously, could you think of nothing better than racing a Lotus against a Mustang, again?
"This Roush Mustang is slower than the Z06, but it's better as a daily driver, so it's better. Oh, wait! This Exige S is faster because we drove the Mustang off the track, so it must be better! Completely disregard anything I've said about driveablility and daily useablility! Or price!"
"Let's race a Land Rover against a H2 and an Escalade in a poorly-defined race, and then have the Escalade driver run it straight at an embankment, and then have the Hummer mysteriously break down while in the lead!"
I absolutely despise Hummers and Escalades with a passion, and I still thought the test was terrible!
Update: Oh, great! Now Jeremy thinks he's Rick Mercer on "Talking to Americans"! And he's still recycling old Top Gear lines!
"In Europe, we can get that kind of power from apencil sharpener vacuum cleaner!"
A drag race between a $40,000 Chrysler and a $80,000 BMW! Great idea!
Let's compare the sounds between a Mustang V8 and a Ferrari one - and pretend that we know one is better! To prove this, we'll have Jeremy dance around like a fairy!
I'm going to go finish watching it, and the second half had better suck a whole lot less than the first.
Ugh, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.
Another update: Leaf spring jokes! And inbreeding jokes while reviewing a pickup! Didn't see that one coming at all!
Yet another update: Jeremy Clarkson has just compared a lap on a race track by a Dodge Ram pickup to one by an Ariel Atom.
Jeremy Clarkson, you have officially jumped the shark.
Another update - He's using the exact same Dodge Viper "Health and Safety" jokes that he did on Top Gear. Good lord. Run out of material, much?
And, as a final disappointment, he says the Ford GT is a great car - and then pretends it isn't American. Which it is.
And thus, this video confirms a sneaking, niggling suspicion that I've had for some time.
Without a Top Gear script, without James and Richard balancing him out, Jeremy Clarkson is rubbish. He got preachy, he got ridiculous, and most of the video wasn't even halfway entertaining.
This video should have been titled "Jeremy Clarkson Bashes America, American Cars, and Makes the Same Jokes He's Been Making On Top Gear Over and Over Again. Please Buy My DVD So I Can Make More Money."
What a disappointment.
