“But let me be clear that hybrid cars are designed solely to milk the guilt genes of the smug and the foolish. And that pure electric cars, such as the G-Wiz and the Tesla, don’t work at all because they are just too inconvenient... “

Clarkson hates American cars. I’ve seen him really skewer the older Corvette model I own. But this is great stuff. I have newfound respect.

I saw an episode of TOP GEAR where he absolutely raved about the Ford GT...

I sent this to a friend and she told me that he once had an article that stated if we wanted to really improve the safety of cars, then we would remove the brakes and add a big spike to the center of the steering wheel.

I am a new fan.

He toasted the Corvettes.
Until the ZR-1 kicked ass on The Ring and on his own test track.

He picked it as his car of the year.

I loved it when he poked his finger into the flimsy plastic rear fascia of the Corvette and compared it to a “boy band”.

“Looks good at first glance, but utterly talentless.”
