Nearly all positive, ding it slightly for lacking the nth degree of road feel through the wheel.

meh, i expected more

looks like they simply ripped pieces of everyone else's review, threw it in a hat, gave it a shake, threw it down on a table and used tape to give it a semblance of unity, then they ran the press.

"here we are for the first time on the actual road." right.. about a month late to the party is what they should have said. Even no names got test drives already.

A little hard to be truly original when there are a couple of dozen reviews out already.

Looking forward to seeing what the boys make of it though.

That will be fun - but it is going to be near the bottom of the results wall for sure...

Fussy08X · 03-28-2012, 10:14 AM

merlin2111 · 03-28-2012, 10:22 AM

Another positive review... just give us the damn car and a price would be nice too.

Kinda off topic, but did anyone else besides me read the article and hear Clarkson's voice reading it?

Especially the part, "So does it live up to the hype? Of course not. Unless it had been styled by da Vinci and engineered by Brunel – and for good measure had Newton quietly bent the laws of mechanics in its favour – it’d never have been as good as they said it would be.

But oh my, it comes close."

I'd like to see it on an epiosode of the show.

Warning: The review is more fun reading with a Jeremy Clarkson voice.

Reading this review with Jeremy Clarkson's voice is the best thing ...... in the world.
