Clarkson on all three: "We came wondering if America had finally made a car that might actually work in the civilized world. The answer is no, they haven't. As you can see from our smiles, they've made three."

Can't post it here. Just go to google, type "eztv" and click "I'm feeling lucky"

EZTV is a torrent website that pretty much has all popular tv episodes. Its considered illegal for they remove the TV Ads.

Sure, if you happen to live in the UK

BBC is big on copyright, as mentioned early on in this thread. My post's You Tube links actually worked when I first posted. Then they were BBCified

I don't understand his statement whatsoever. "A car that might actually work in the civilized world"? They are talking about a Vette, a Challenger, and a Caddy. What about the Viper? The Mustang? The Viper ACR just shattered the record at Nurburgring. How is it that a Vette ZR-1 is as "civilized" as a Caddillac? Just a pompous guy being pompous in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I love Clarkson and the show.

You took the words from my mouth erocker

. At least he seems to be relativity constant in his criticisms. The only time he seems to be a bit overboard with the criticism, is with American cars (we are a backwards lot of interbreeds after all

) They, in the past, relished in slamming USA cars, especially GM products. 3 GM cars getting rave reviews from this bunch is, a HUGE change coming from these guys

, ALL AT A TIME WHEN GM's STOCK IS 4 BUCKS A SHARE!!! How Ironic

MadCow · Nov 13, 2008, 01:20 AM

2 GM's and 1 Chrysler actually.

I loved the review though, especially the Reno bit and the Winnebago on the salt flats.

Katanai · Nov 13, 2008, 05:48 AM

I believe there were talks of GM to buy dodge. MOST STUPIDEST IDEA EVA!

Any ways, I dont see that happening with there stock close to worthless.

What GM needs to do is down size, get rid of unions, utilizes foreign assets (foreign car manufactures that GM owns), and get rid of upper management who are make million dollar salary while the company is suffering...etc.

NOT ASK THE TAX PAYERS FOR HELP!
