Harris has been verging into caricature lately. Having to present for Top Gear, it's not surprising. Jethro is the superior reviewer nowadays.

That said, to be fair, it must be hard to find new and creative ways to say how awesome a car drives. Particularly when you are driving ALL the great cars of the world.

Objectively speaking, cars today are just incredible - the performance limits are so far beyond the limit. The new GT3 is better than the old one, sure. But the old one was so good - how much *better* can it be? Everyone is waiting for the next breathless review to top the previous one. There has to be a point of diminishing returns.
