He can have his, you can have yours. You don't like it, then don't watch.The problem with some of you and those motherfuckers who complained about his articles is that you have a broomstick stuck so far up your arse that you just can't keep an open mind. Especially when something you like get's criticised.And again, some of you are complaining about him stereotyping but you are stereotyping Clarkson as well.He's British ok. So obviously if a pretty decent car comes out of Britain he's gonna love it ie. Aston Martin's and Land Rover's (owned by Ford) and Bentley's (Volkswagen) and Rolls Royce's (BMW) and even Lotus' (Proton). He loves Ferrari's as well. As you can see, to say he is extremely biased is stupid. He has championed a lot of good Japanese cars before Toyota's, Subaru's, Mitsubishi's, Honda's...etc. But he being a normal person and a British citizen, has his personal issues with certain people and certain things. Germans (WW2, Nazis) and the French (lots of issues in history) and Americans (same as the French). So he's bound to take the mickey and joke about these groups of people, and the cars they make. He's also bound to make preconceptions a bout a car based on its brand ie. he's not gonna like a Proton or a Kia or a Hyundai even before he sees it. But he still does use rational when he judges a car. His priorities when judging a car are "How a car makes you feel?", "How fun is it to drive?", "How powerful is it?", "How good looking?", "Build quality" in that order.He himself admits he doesn't like BMW. But still he loved the M3 and the M3 csl and the M5 and the Z1. He always complains about how his Mercedes keeps breaking down and how bad the service and dealers are and how the electronics in the car don't work properly. Plus, he bought an American supercar.He criticises cars because they are plain bad or unsuitable for Britain (most American cars), bad or cheaply made (American and Korean and Malaysian), pointless (like a lot of crazy Jap cars and big off roaders) or they lack soul and character.And, like I've said earlier, that's his style, not boring newscaster type motoring journalism. His main goal is to entertain and make people laugh (it doesn't matter if YOU don't find it funny) and judging by the success of Top Gear, his way definitely works.</blockquote>
