Very true. In his "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" show from several months ago he came to the States, specifically Willow Springs Raceway, to do comparison tests of several US vs Euro cars. Oddly enough, part of the test included running a Dodge Ram pickup around the track and making fun of it. I wondered how his opinion might have differed had he driven the Ram SRT10? Oh, and the off road comparison where they put a chrome wheeled Hummer and Cadillac Escalade up against a Range Rover was hilarious!! He called the two American vehicles something like the best the US had to offer in off-roading. Huh? Jeremy, come now!! Jeep Cherokee. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Have you ever heard of these two? And have you ever heard of anyone actually taking a Cadillac Escalade off road?

Only when they're being chased by the POELEECE.

I did agree with his thought on the Prius though. On a similar theme did you catch the episode og TG when they went to the US to buy $1,000 dollar cars and drive to New Orleans? I particularly liked the Stig's alter ego with his 'relaxed' style driving the Caddy round the track.
