Clarkson reviews GT86 in new issue of Top Gear Magazine

[Lonewolf]

Ugly?! No way, your mama is ugly Clarkson...

[Opposed]

Clarkson doesn't like Japanese style very much. Don't take it personally...

[Turbowned]

Haha! I'm actually shocked that they picked the GT86 as the winner, but extremely happy at the same time!!! I didn't think old Jezza would choose the little 200hp car over all those high-HP brutes it was up against.

JR never like anything by Japanese as I recalled, but this 86 has changed his mind. Anyway, so proud to own an affordable humble car

Gah, my wait anxiety just got another kick in the pants. My brain is crying.

Of course, you'd have the Subaru so you didn't have to tell people you have a Toyota...

Are there some missing pages here or did I read it wrong?

Regardless, THANK YOU!!!!

Edit: I know I shouldn't care but since conception of this car I wanted Jeremy Clarkson to test drive it and I wanted him to love it. It would have made no difference to how much I will enjoy this car but just in the back of my mind I really wanted him to see what I see. I was really expecting the words "it needs MORE POWWWAHHH".

HAHA love the way you put it. you and me both!

It boggles my mind how he can say it's hideous. My brain just can't compute it... At least he likes how it drives.

Edit: ok, having read the comparo i can kind of see where he has a point. He says it looks bland for a coupe and frankly i can kind of understand that, since they're aren't a lot of complicated lines in the aethetics of the body. It's very smooth and free flowing. Just because i know where he's coming from now though dosen't mean i agree, since i believe that sort of aesthetic simplicity is part of the classic formula. Take out the front fascia and the car as a whole isn't very aggressive, but i for one like a little humble to go with my fierce.

Thanks for the scans!

I think this is one of the best looking cars off the lot. Can't ask for better review otherwise.

He jizzed over driving the RX-8, he did not like the styling which I was talking about. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRiPSlx8PxA"]Top Gear - Mazda RX8 - BBC - YouTube[/ame] The only Japanese sports car I recall him likely all together was the S2000.
