They did a show on the 2009 911 S and they initially had their normal complaints but once inside were impressed with the interior quality. After the test drive they also were impressed with the new engine and overall performance.

Clarkson has been a long time F-car fan boy. The fact that he likes to poke fun at the 911 is one of things I find very entertaining about Top Gear. OTOH, Hammond loves the 911 and believes its the only car Porsche should make. The Clarkson vs. Hammond shows about ___ car vs. a 911 are all fun to watch.

I agree with Mspeedster...I love Top Gear, and them poking each other about their car choices is part of the fun. For Jeremy to even remotely admit he likes something about the 911 means he's making progress

He likes them too but he would never admit that in public.

He does not like motorcycles too...

So what does it make him? An ignorant dilettante and full of himself journo.

I remember the 2nd video link where he made fun of the yellow seatbelts that "make you look interesting."
