top gear is sooo anti-american cars it's not even funny

that's why when they actually give one props it's suprising

oh yeah and it's like nails on chalkboard when they complain about lefthand
drive being "wrong hand drive" and refering to america as the "colonies"

a black or silver CTS-V ranks as a top 5 car that is semi affordable IMO. i really loved driving one.

I like how the only thing he could complain about was the "bonging" and the buttons
not having idiot-proof symbols on them

I don't really remembering any actual complaints about cheapness, just saying it felt cheap

It was funny how he didn't expect it to keep up with an AWD audi and yet he did. Man they did beat the piss out of that thing pretty hardcore too. Nothing beats the "designed by a ruler" comment...its not really an appealing car designwise

after watching it , i like how they test the car in the rain and wonder why it performs so poorly. I do like that show but they are too close minded to even give any american car a fair chance. You pretty much have to have the key in the ignition for the car to bong when you open the door and take your setbelt off. it doesnt do it all the time. oh well still a sweet car and id still pimp one

yeah run the caddilac in the rain then compare it against every other car in DRY conditions

they hardly ever give any american car props unless it was 100% built in europe and
only has an america logo on it
