And this one of the Reasons why I stoped watching Top Gear UK

I cannot think how much of an outrage it would be if you let 3 Americans talk shit about european cars, the most common word/sentence you would hear would be: dumb, f**king and Americans. This is just so retarded...

[L. Levy]

These two would make a perfect couple!!!

[thybigballs]

Btw, don't think I haven't noticed you have changed subjects once again...as you always do when your myth making is busted.

[thybigballs]

"We have a 100 year history"--- Who the fuck is this "we" bullshit again? You're back to claiming cars from other countries I see. YOU don't make ANY cars. None!

We always paint foreign stuff as shit? Um, we have a good mix of cars here, so me thinks you're painfully ignorant as what we do. Myth destroyed! A million+ Corvettes have been made. Has a million+ 911's been sold here or are you trying to compare an entire line of cars to one? Dumbass!!!

We have a 100 year history of critical and professional motor press here. If you try to pull media stunts and lie about stuff, you will quickly be exposed and laughed out of town. So you cant.

While in USA, however, you got your patriotism. Which will ALWAYS paint foreign stuff as shit. Even when you guys buy 3 times more Porsches than you buy Corvettes. Even when Vipers go bankrupt because nobody actuall bought one. Tell me. Why didnt you buy a Viper? It was YOUR hero. So why not buy one?

[Yukio Mishima]

stop yelling

The European manufactures works all right... at "marketing and hype". They have too, though. Otherwise, nobody is going to buy cars that are ranked as the most unreliable pieces of shit in the world that they are. Who cares how long Porsche has been at the Ring? They still used "marketing and hype" just to beat the GTR with their "modded" car using "professional drivers" on "semi-slicks". They achieved their time in testing AND media stunts through a 1/4 million dollar car... that is not faster!

[Janusha]

Keep talking.... To yourself. The Euro-car industry WORKS in stark contrast to the american one. Youre in no position to argue. Keep your bullshit and your myths. Porsche project 727 yeah.... I heard you now. Happy? Porsche has had permanent test facilities for cars at the god damn Ring since before your father was born. They arent there with racecrews and modded cars claim bullshit records. They achieve their times in testing. not as media stunts with raced up bullshit musclecars.
