Rather than wait for a video to appear, I will post the link to his website so everyone can watch the video the moment it is available on Monday.

Jay Leno's Garage

I know he isn't the ideal reviewer but I think it couldn't hurt to watch. I can't wait to see what he has to say. The more information, the better.

Considering his extensive car collection, and the fact that he selects cars for their uniqueness, not just because they're fast or pretty or of a particular make, I'm very interested to hear his comments on the car. I think he's a great reviewer for this particular car.

That's funny he was driving right behind me on my way to work this week.

Jay is pretty stand up guy. He used to frequent the Rock Store on Mulholland back in the days and would shoot the shit with everyone about cars and motos.

I wouldn't be surprised if he took an FR-S and put a jet engine in it.

Pourquoi? I'm curious. He doesn't strike me as a negative guy.

Leno has a weird style when he talks about cars. Its obvious he loves cars but he talks about them like a tired tour guide. As if the viewers of his show are the 8,000 person he has talked to about the same topic that month. He also has kind of a snarky edge, that is just on the edge of sarcasm. I get the feeling he is a kind of snob. Not the kind that looks down on you for lack of money or manners, but because he thinks everyone is just so stupid and predictable. I think he got that way because his mediocre show gets so much attention. It seem like an extension of his self-loathing. That's pretty typical with stand-up comics. Anyway, the review will probably be fairly good, but his attitude will likely be annoying.

I was so happy when Conan replaced him, but then he threw a huge bitch-fit...

I'm a Conan man myself.

(I'd rather Conan review the car, just so I could lmao when tall tall goofy guy tries to fit in there and crack some seriously funny jokes)

He hated the 350 Z because he couldn't "hang his arm out the window and look cool while driving". Im not making this up. I can't wait to see what he says about the FR-S.

FRiSson · 06-16-2012, 05:01 PM

Funny, the FR-S is the best arm-hanging-out-the-window car I have driven in a long time.
