Cheer up lads. I loved the whole film, thanks for posting! Please watch it all... lots of upset people on other forums too, after cars like the Ferrari F50, Ford GT and AMG merc black series get slammed too. I think they might, possibly maybe, have been being a little ironic and/or deliberately controversial..

The Lexus LFA looks fricking epic too! Different and really, properly, amazingly engineered.

Anyway, anyway...maybe they have a point, the RS was a bit harsh on normal roads which is why they were cheap as chips in the early naughties of course, before all the magazine RS hyperbole quadrupled their prices. I think I'd rather be in a regular lightly modded 964, even though it isn't "iconic"..

Top Gear is "The Daily Mirror" of automotive journalism. If they gushed over any 964, then I'd be worried.

Is my car "iconic"? Who'd have thunk it. I bought it because it was the best car for my needs at the time*. Whether Jezza Clarkson likes it or not makes no odds to me. No worries, they'll move on to the next thing very soon. :-)

*Still is and it's a keeper!

Tough to get stressed over this. These guys are entertainers. Period. And good at it. Making lots of money off it. Automobile authorities? Hardly. Jeez, they judge cars by how well they do power slides. Clarkson hates cars that require skill to drive.
But, guess he is a believable voice when it comes to being fat and ugly. I mean, jeez, Jeremy, shake some change from the fruit jar for some dental work and Rogane, eh?

Agreed...almost as entertaining as reading the haters that can't handle the (intentional) digs at all the various cars.

I'm going to enjoy passing this on to my overweight Ford GT owner friend almost as much as the arrogant guy I used to work with that drives the Lexus SC! Too funny
