For example, the Morris Marina. Top Gear rips on that car every possible chance they get. They've burned them, smashed them, crashed them, simply because they don't like them.

Top Gear is entertainment, nothing more. Take it at face value and have a laugh or two!

that's crap the only reason the dodge was eliminated was because the damn battery flipped over and probably burnt all the lines I had the same problem when I went wheeling once.

You guys have to remember, this is Top Gear.
They have always been full of ****. ALWAYS.
That, and they don't know trucks. Hell, a few years ago I saw Jeremy drive a Ford Lightning through mud and high water. I mean WTF?

How are they full of ****..? Pretty much everything they say on the show can be researched and verified. What you are calling **** is opinion, they share theirs.

Of course they don't "know" trucks, not a whole hell of a lot of people drive "lorrys" over there. The reason they were driving the Lightning through the mud was to show that it has no real usefulness as a truck, and that it is more of an exhibition type vehicle. Not to mention impractical for the average person.

He doesn't have a high opinion of americans in general it would seem. "Mostly Incest"??

Nah. I have no real desire to watch his show, even for entertainment value. If any. If I want to see someone on TV bashing americans, I will just tune to CSPAN.

Lmao, they bash everyone on Top Gear, that's why its so funny. The Christmas special they just passed took them through Iraq, Israel and a handful of other Middle Eastern states. They talked bad on them yet nobody had any issue with it.
