  • British Leyland products... such well made cars...they were beyond crap

  • Always funny when he makes fun of American cars for not being able to handle even though there are 3 American cars on the top ten list of lap times at the nurburgring. And the only british car is a bare bones hardly streel legal racing car that you couldn't even drive in the rain because it doesn't have any sort of roof.

  • WTF an american car turned a corner!!!!!! is it snowing in hell too. and pigs are flying!!!!!

  • TOP GEAR NEEDS TO GET THE CHRYSLER ME 412!

  • Ford gt is american

  • Well, I'd be surprised if it handles impressively.

  • Come on Hammond. We just got corners down, can't you just be proud of us for a second

  • i think that they insult american cars way to much there not bad at all there just not from the UK

  • what a cock, that Jeremy

  • . . . and I thought the average age of a caddy owner was a Florida resident golf-trousered Octagenarian . . .

  • WTF! A caddy that takes corners without the waterbed effect and rolling over?!

    As they say over there, A W E S O M E ! ! !

  • But first, it has to take on this: T H E C O R N E R

    LOL!

  • The only problem I have with American Cars is that from outside they look modern, luxury and upto date, but inside/interior is completely 90's, boring and quite useless. That's why old classic american muscle cars are much better that the new ones. The European and Asian cars are are far better than many American cars today (cars, vans, suvs and trucks)

  • 140 people are brtish..

  • Comment removed

  • I live in America and I am very annoyed with our car makers

  • thumbs up if your a american

  • 0:02

    Hehehehehehehehehehehehe.

  • I think Jeremy did not jet knew that hè was goning to own à Ford GT

  • U know u dont have to start a car or be in gear to realse a hood.

  • Comment removed

  • We may have horrible cars, but they have horrible teeth.

  • @BeyondOpenSource I LOVE YOUR COMMENT! HAHAH

  • Lol, this is an old video, so american has gotten better. Take for instance chrysler brand! New 300c is quite elegant and powerful

  • @JJ2fresh From one American to another, please don't equate Chrysler product to quality. Yes, Chrysler has gotten better, they're now on the same level as purgatory rather than being Hell. If I were to say anything positive about any of out vehicles I would say: Ford is making great progress in the states and GM makes the best utilitarian trucks. Those two 'facts' are really all we have going for us, but I believe we will one day be respected for something. Cheers

  • @Ryantravisaol i agree.

  • @JJ2fresh Lol stop kidding yourself that thing is garbage..

  • still dont get why the british love to make fun of americans....

  • @djkasdjkasdjdjdj Jealousy man. Brits have done nothing valuable in this world. America, well where do I begin.

  • @BeyondOpenSource Hardly jealously. You can begin with obesity if you want and that's pretty much where it ends

  • @aspiringdrummer17 How does obesity come in the picture?

  • @BeyondOpenSource

    Are you retarded?

  • @SirEpicWinrar Uhmm...no. Is that really your question or you just have nothing smart to say?

  • @djkasdjkasdjdjdj Actually Britisih don't make fun of Americans...they are stating some facts! it's just so simple...and because top gear is all about cars the last american cars thath can be compared to europeans are the 67 mustang and the corvette stingray and only because they were cheaper!

  • OBJECTION!!!!

    Ford GT!!

  • I love top gear but they're racist.

  • @vacardi1000 americans are not a race.

  • All american cars are the same... But buys 2 Ford GTs

  • I love how Jeremy Clarkson constantly makes fun of Americans for being fat when he's not quite the skinniest thing on earth either -_-

  • @Pieguy302 Wow! Thank you so much for inserting that emoticon to help me understand your comment! I had no idea what you were trying to say until you inserted the "-_-" and then I finally realized what you were trying to say!

  • There are american cars faster than all european cars

  • @Matthew05270 JAGUAR, ASTON MARTIN.... hmmm not succesfull cars i guess? lol

    Ah and im not british btw...

  • @zippbitch Jaguar have been quite commercially successful over the years, yet until their ownership by Ford in the late 90s had a horrendous reputation for poor quality. They sold a lot of XJ6s and XJ40s but they aren't known for their durability. You need to do your research mate!

  • @LTD92DC mate, i just have to say, british cars have success too. And jaguar isnt the only british car, aston martin is and astons are one of the most beautyfull and fast cars there is

  • and then he bought a ford

  • @bigheath100 A british ford, mind you.. made and developed by Ford of UK, in England =)

  • @thenerdbane Still an American company. Many Toyotas and hondas are designed and built in America but there still Japanese. But I do understand you argument.

  • @SuperMagnumpi Which Toyotas and Hondas exactly are designed in America and not in Japan?

  • @LTD92DC The Toyota Tundra is one for example. They probably don't sell them in Europe, (you would know better than me). I will look up others.

  • @LTD92DC The Honda Accord is another. I also believe that the Toyota Camry is as well. Toyota and Honda have design and engineering studios in California.

  • Americas the best we beat the British in the revolutionary war and we beat them again in the war of 1812 then in ww2 we saved them when they where getting there ass beat by the Nazis

  • @11fredrules yes, your country which is about 50 times the size of the UK, beat a much smaller country in the revolutionary war and the war of 1812, and assisted us beat 2 countries which were far bigger than us and better equipt (germany anyway), well done, have a medal.

  • @FUCK202 Not sure if trolling....or just stupid....

  • It's only been 120 years and finally the Americans have made one thing that can go round a corner.

  • Why are Americans cars made because they are all shit and only fat people and terrorists buy them.

  • @TheCarfinder your fucking retarted

  • @TheCarfinder

    None of the terrorists I know drive American Cars...lol

  • wish they reviewed the new one, its so much better in just about every way.

  • @FUCK202 this is over 2 years old

  • @lazyG007 i know, i mean i wish they reviewed the 2008 one when it came out, instead of the old one whenever this video was made.

  • Cadillac, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Doge, Chrysler, Lincoln and God Bless America!

  • That bit at the end struck the nail right on the head.

  • Dear Britain,

    We still have a car industry at least.

    Love, America

  • @MooshiDash Dear America,

    Your countrie's cars are producing to much polution.

    Love Europe

  • @petitus90 Bugatti Veyron SS... What are you gonna put that up against?

  • Cadillacs are for pimps.

    Ever been to Detroit?

  • HOLLAND FTW

  • Finally americans focuses abit more on handling then V8s with superchargers

  • Actually we in "Holland" don't all take drugs!

  • 2:43-2:53 fuck you, you piece of shit host you can go take horse dick in the ass!

  • @yellow48100 So your american then..

  • anybody know the song that starts at 4:41?

  • "It was just too much for Americans to do quality and corners"

    How many cars does England make?

    They have lost their entire auto industry because of BAD quality.

    Jaguar

    Range Rover

    Rolls Royce

    Triumph

    M.G.

    Where do the English get off complaining about bad quality?

    Luxury cars are not SUPPOSED to be driven like SPORTS cars. I want soft springs on a long trip.

  • is Cadillac really ban in Britain?

  • i agree that it is sad that we have the richest nation in the world and we cant make a "great car" but then again.. we invented it:)) and the airplane, computer, electricity and a LOT moor shit so dont be rankin on da states:)

  • Ford is a good brand from the US.

  • @IceProjectable lol Ford is shit. Ford people are stupid. Most people on earth are stupid. So there you go.

  • I don't think people give enough credit to American Cars.

    Ford makes great cars, for example.

  • Id like him to say the same to the 2011 cts-v

  • I am American but if I were the people running GM, I would not bring the CTS to Britain. In fact, I would not bring any Cadillac to Europe. American luxury cars are no good. This CTS looks ugly and badly made. Jeremy is, once again, right. Cadillacs are for pimps and pensioners. I would take it's European counterparts anytime.

  • still not as good as bugatii veyron.hahaha

  • Look! I'm American and didn't make a grammar mistake! I also take slight offense at being considered an idiot because of where I was born. I like my country. That doesn't mean I think we're the best or that I'm ignorant of elementary level Geography. Thanks.

  • @DrSkullFudger You're a perfect example why Americans shouldn't be allowed to have thoughts. I'd remind you of the inbreeding thing, but I don't think a person like you actually has a dictionary, or knows what a dictionary is.

  • I guess it's okay for an American car? I still don't know anybody who'd ever consider driving one but seems like it's not a complete laughing stock. It's badly made and looks fugly as shit, of course, but the handling etc doesn't seem to be as bad as you'd expect.

  • @failmore Who cares who you know or don't know loser? You can't see cars outside in your moms basement anyway. And how dare you call your pig of a whore of a crack head slut mother ugly as shit!

  • @Michael326 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • fuck the bad teeth english!!!!! an there im better than everyone state of mind. guess what ur not u guys need help with everything from money to war so suck our fat usa cocks lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fat is power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ccdaddy87

    well you are a douche arent you

  • Comment removed

  • American cars suck ass

  • @JohnnyVictorica41399 EURO cunts suck at everything. xD I bet you jerk off to that little midget Hamster that loves (Porsche (VW squashed gay mans bug) because he can almost see over the steering wheel in those. The bitch hates big cars. Look at the little hobbet! lmfao! He crawls up Clarkson's big smelly ass at night to sleep. TOP QUEER! Gayest show about clueless morons that hate what they really want. Fucking pathetic fags.

  • Yet Britain hasnt ever made a more sucessful car than America!

  • @Matthew05270 jaguar

  • @bl208574 Exacly not as good as american cars

  • @Matthew05270

    mclaren

  • @Matthew05270 American have really bad i mean the worse car resale value, but American cars are still the best muscle car production in the world.

  • @Matthew05270 what about the mini?

  • @Matthew05270 What are you talking about.

  • @Matthew05270 true, because they're expensive

  • @Matthew05270 eh, i wouldnt that. Aston Martin, lotus, mcLaren, Rolls-Royce... I'd rather take some of these over most, if not all, American cars.

  • @dashfront21 yeah, but how many of those could you afford? None.

  • @d0ugz24 are you sure about that? i'm no common youtuber.

  • @Matthew05270 American cars are shit

  • @Matthew05270 success doesn't constitute quality, so no Britian hasn't lol

  • @Matthew05270 they specialize in a different car market, they go for upscale luxury/sports cars. Basically they are in a niche market, if you look at it that way they are way more successful, Austin Martin, Bentley, Caterham, Connaught Motor Company, Ginetta, Invicta, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, Morgan Motor Company the list goes on... and they all have one thing in common, they target the hyper-luxury and super car market, a market america has never succeeded in.

  • @x10cobra most of those companies are'nt even in britain anymore...

  • @Matthew05270 sucessful... well every single BMW britain did after germany buy the mark beat all american car... and what about Aston martin...

  • I love Top Gear, but the slams on Americans gets really irritating after a while. I'm glad the dialed it down later in the show.

  • 2:43 Oooh burn!

  • Sorry for commenting twice, but that car is kind of cheap because of the price. If you begin to pay slightly more for American cars, the build improves dramatically (ex. Dodge Challenger)

  • Everyone in my family has a weight under 180 Ibs. We are Americans, and we think you should shut up about it. Ok then?

  • What is the song that starts at 0:36?

  • I would love to have a CTS or CTS-V. Once the wife's accident points are off...

  • American cars are better than anything the Brits are making...

    Oh wait, the Brits don't make cars anymore..

    All of the British auto makers have gone out of business or were sold off years ago because they were junk and no one was buying them. The most unreliable cars on the road.

    Bugger!

  • the 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS was assembled in

    Lansing, Michigan, United States

    Shanghai, China

    Miaoli, Republic of China

    Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia

  • @Annihilator1111 Wow. A Cadillac being made in Russia. Who'da thunk it!

  • @bigvirgotube lol yeah they have a GM factory there

  • They should try the new cts v

  • Jeremy hates American cars, but he owns a Ford GT... lol

  • @TheA10Phonex

    Yes he does but he calls it a British car because he claims that it was designed in Britain and the rack and pinion is from a Aston Martin... Of course Ford owned Aston at the time so they were free to use whatever parts they wanted to use from Aston. He loves Fords as long as they are European Fords.

    The GT is very American but he couldn't deny how great it is.

    Jeremy is a funny guy and I love the show but he'll always hate the USA for some reason.

  • Wait to till you see MALAYSIAN made cars...that'll sound like a plastic waste bin...

  • There is a Hill in Holland! @ 3:23

  • lolz "i dont like American cars" yet he loves the ford gt = =

  • @Armaangandevia1 He likes the Ford GT because almost all the components were from other contries. America just put's the stuff up together.

  • why do american cars are made out of cheap materials? i mean its not like they live in africa or something right?

  • totally agree with Jeremy...

  • America has made some cars that are just embarrassing. Pontiac Aztek Ford Pinto Chevrolet Blazer Chevy Corvair Ford Maverick Chevy Citation Cadillac Eldorado AMC Pacer AMC Gremlin Pontiac GTO '74 Chevy Chevette AMC Eagle Chevy Caprice So no,you guys obviously don't know class and should stop making cars. ;/
  • I think this was the better looking CTS. The new one doesn't age well (Imagine this in black) except for the CTS-V though.

    Can't say the same for the interior. It was shit but thankfully, the new one is the complete opposite and downright gorgeous.

    I think American cars at this time were shit (though good looking) but I'm quite impressed with the changes and improvements that have happened in the last 6 or so years.

    New South Korean and American cars nowadays are desirable. I want a Kia.

  • jeremy can suck my american balls

  • @89kawa 'MERICA FUCK YEAH!

  • @89kawa he will suck on your balls when you learn to grow a pair :D

  • And a litte while later the Ford gt becomes his all time favorite car!

  • @Matthew05270 and it did broke down almost immediately..

  • @Matthew05270 yes, he bought it and than he sold it because it didn't work!

  • @viktorohrid and then bought another one which he sold too

  • @Matthew05270 That's because Jeremy is right about American cars. The best American cars are Corvettes, Hummers, and anything made by Ford.

  • I have an 04 CTS with the 3.6L. I got it as a replacement to my Accord, and for being close in price, is a 10 times better car... handling, power, and interior. I love this car

  • I've had audi's and bmw's..but I still think the best luxury car i've owned yet is the DTS. This cars big brother.

  • whats up with james hair at the start??? lmao

  • A good american car is the cadillac escalade/yukon denali

  • The new american cars now days are makeing a come back.

  • Are you guys on Hammond's side or Jeremy's side?

  • @sonyviva308 both. Agreed on improvement and expectation from the cadilac, but it's still not achieving the level to compete with other world wide sold saloons

  • @Reegatron

    It is rather a shame that the Germans, Bavarians, and Japanese rule our market, but we do have a few saving graces. The Corvette (Z-06) is good enough to beat a Nissan GTR, the ZR-1 will embarras a Ferrari, the new Cadillac V-Series cars are FABULOUS, and the new Jeep Grand Cherokee will do everything a Land Rover will do and look just as good or even better doing it. All is not lost in America, it's just waiting to be found. :)

  • @dbutcher8014 ''Germans and Bavarians''. you can really see that ur an american.

  • @SPLATsaidNUFF Yes, I'm quite aware that Bavaria is located withing Germany, but they have their own little auto industry which is why I listed them seperately. I'm not completely uneducated. :/

  • And the new trend of American cars is truly saddening. Made in America used to stand for something. (I'm not just talking cars). That stuff was made to last forever and the one who made it, was proud to put his name on it. Now some factory worker in China slaps a corporate logo sticker with on it, and the ones in charge have no problem putting out crap, 'cause they're gonna get they're money in any case. The only things they put any effort into anymore are high tech/cost military projects.

  • Truth be told (and I have had 2 prior BMW's) I'd take an Infiniti over this (but i do like the new V) or any Euro luxury (which I suppose is code name for barren, leather-clad interior) car. This is mostly due to the fact that I like a car to last more than two years and then need extensive work further draining my wallet, which is overkill because it was overpriced to begin with. Toyota: Drive it everyday. BMW (etc): Twist, and pray. All that aside, they're just cars guys.

  • yet he said that the ford gtx1 was as good as anything he had ever driven...which was the all american version of the ford gt, bc the regular gt had european parts in it. and yet, he took the american one

  • yet he bought a ford. worst american car.

  • And i don't like TopGear !!!!!!

  • american cars are bad

    german cars> Britain cars > other european cars > jap cars> other cars > shit > american cars

  • As for the Cadilacs handling in 2004 I watched Terry Borchellor in a cts run down

    David Murray in a porsche 911 like Murray was in a Morris Minor with a bad engine and missing a wheel! Virginia international raceway 3.27 Mile road course I believe T/G went there in series 16 or 17 Koni cup cars has to start as a production chassis . I believe that level of prep GT 3 or 4 Internationally

  • Everybody rake a chill pill. Clarkson has made a career and a lot of money with his on screen personality of the pompuos british arse to borrow a phrase from there.As for Americans not understanding luxury, everywhere has its own standards. when I lived in Sussex I would laugh my butt off at some the concepts of luxury I was presented.[ Quietly of course,Stiff upper lip and all that

  • I'm terribly sorry you don't like American cars, Jeremy, but you just happen to have owned several and besides, we like them just fine. :)

  • @dbutcher8014 Yes Americans do indeed appear to have a fondness for motorised garbage; they look great but under the hood it's usually a sad story. How ironic that our old enemies, the Germans and the Japanese, ended up totally owning the auto market with their perfect machines...

  • AMERICAN CARS ARE THE BEST; HAVE BEEN THE BEST, AND WILL BE THE BEST FOREVER

  • @JDizzle75k10 Someone's overdoing it?

  • And yet u still bought a Ford GT jeramy

  • Take it on the chin folks. We make the same jokes about how slow import cars are at the drag strip!

  • smh dislike

    

  • What episode is this????

  • Yay for Holland :)

  • Cadillacs are also safer than any other british car, maybe a rolls would beat one... oh wait the rolls is german too.... cadis have been made for over 100 years. they know class.

  • Has Jeremy seen the current cts yet?

  • CTS 2006 3.6L. Best car I ever owned... fast, handles great and looks good too.

  • I find it Ironic that Jeremy said he doesn't like any American car, and then he went out and bought a Ford GT....

  • @jerrytoken and sell it and bouth Lambo gallardo Spyder Soory for bad english

  • @jerrytoken but thats different.. thats a ford.. the same company that has, many times, defeated *beloved* ferrari

  • Comment removed

  • All American cars are not ugly. Ford GT40, 67 chevy impala, 69 Ford mustang, 67 chevy camaro, are all great looking cars. And fuck you clarkson America helped your sorry ass country when you were getting shit on by the Germans

  • we do have hills in holland. The road even has a sign with a rising percentage of 5% ..Now that's a hill!

  • who the fuck uses a parking brake on an automatic

  • @andruha11234

    Was wondering that myself. NEVER used mine on my CTS in 7 years (yes, it's still running with minimal maintenance after 7 years). Though the plastic dashboard is a shame really. It cracks under severe heat temps unfortunately.

  • you people are so racist to americans

    (richard jeremy)
