And it's Vaaaaantaaaaage. Not VANtage. I'm ashamed of being American sometimes.
Pronunciation changes from place to place. All of the Vantage owners I have met call it the "VANtage."

Take Toyota for example. It's pronounced differently in Japan than it is in the rest of the world. It's not that big of a deal.

It's stupid to feel ashamed over something so petty.

Yea I was really ashamed that they didn't take it around the track...
On the real Top Gear the Z was faster around the track than the Evo. It kinda felt like they brushed the Z off, like it wasn't that big of a deal. I would say crappy hosts, but only 2 of them are. I like Tanner, hes worthy of being on the show but they need to get the other two out of there for real enthusiasts. I think its kinda funny when Rutledge and Ferrara test out cars they get the auto versions. They need to . Ken Block? Even Jay Leno? So many other choices. I'd rather see good driving than be entertained with jokes. Afterall thats what the show is about.
