Let's hope not, although i somehow feel that they will. I want to see it achieve higher track results than the STI or Evo X.

I agree hammond will love it, James will have no say probably and Jeremy will end up giving an inconclusive thing that he just loves doing

Nissan was so careful to give Car & Driver a car equipped with an oil cooler. How scandalous!?

I don't know, I kind of hope hammond gets to review the Z, I mean look at how Jeremy reviewed the 08 GT2, it was a 15 second segment of him spinning out and yelling "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and then they didn't even post the GT2 track time, jeremy set it on fire if I recall.

I predict he will say something about the headlights, then go on rambling about how cramped it is, however; he might also compliment the new interior, sync rev, and the POWA

Top Gear is merely a comedy that has cars mixed on, lets be honest here. Fun show, but I'd hardly see their findings as scientific...

This is pretty much my take. I find it odd that so many people pay so much attention to JC's evaluations when the top priority is clearly entertainment.

Then again, many people now get their news from Comedy Central.

We're living in a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

Agreed completely. I love the show for its humor.

Actually in the last few years the research shows that getting news from comedy central makes you more informed than watching any other news channel. I know this because I am into politics.

Top Gear is entertaining and I wouldn't buy a car because they say it's good or bad, but they do get better cars than anybody else and have interesting tips that you might not have been aware of. If they tested a 370Z and said the oil was overheating and I hadn't bought the Z already, I would not have bought it after that. I would be driving SLK350.

Bring the Stig!
 
Can't wait to see what time the Stig gets on the Test Track. Overheating should not be a problem on a single 2 mile lap.

I think the reviews on the show are as good as better than the MSM. Think about it, they are kind of like Consumer Reports in that they do not have to worry about offending advertisers like TV channels or magazines do. That way they are free to really slam the car if it needs to be as opposed to sugar coating it like most car magazines do.
