370Z on Top Gear

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.

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.
