TOP GEAR R56 Review

evening all!

have we had the official jeremy clarkson review of the new mcs yet?

any links?

i'd like to know what he thinks about this one. he seemed pretty impressed with the old model, so much so they only moved it down the 'cool wall' on the program due to the high number of estate agents buying them

what we achieve in life echoes in eternity

Jezza's view of the R56

^^^ That's what he thought of it at the time of writing.

I read this article this morning!

The first two columns of it didn't even seem to mention the car!

Clarkson is just becoming increasingly rediculous! (as is TopGear IMO)

If my mum (who is not interested in cars) had reviewed it, she might have made similar comments! For car enthusiasts I thought it was a pathetic review

Good that it got a positive review. People can make up their own minds about its appearance/interior, so I think the important thing is that recognised it as a good sports car.

I'm thought the R56S redlines at 6500 rpm though (the article said 7500! - would be nice if it did!)
