"Having a car that sounds like a medical condition isn't going to impress your mates" - Jeremy Clarkson
...and I have to say: I agree with him.

Ah well, it was missing as Hi-Res on UCP. It is not my dreamcar either But me thinks we should include as much cars as possible here. BTW I also posted the Rio
So you read my reply on the Vectra front? Care to respond? Lol.
I think Clarkson has moments of utter genius (see his book "I Know You Got Soul") but also as I carefully worded when responding about the Vectra, I think he has moments of sheer bigotry and idiocy.
I've found just about everything he's said about any model of Vectra to be incorrect or just plain lies. In fact, that seems to be a common occurence when JC talks about Vauxhalls. I'm suprised that he actually admitted that the VX220 was the most fun car of 2003, and fully expected him to find a stupid reason to give the award to another vehicle.
As far as KIA is concerned, the C'eed actually looks suprisingly good, although I've not seen the interior yet...it's just that the Magentis is easily outclassed, even when it sells at bargain basement prices. You're better off buying an equivalent used vehicle from another manufacturer at the same price.
just pulling your chain and you forgot to mention how Jc prefers the monaro to an s-type -R. So youve seen shoot-out aswell. The trouble with vauxhall is image, I dont think JC is wrong to say that its fairly unimaginative but his technical judgement is innacurate. he can pick the little things correctly but he is a big badge snob and unfortunately other badge snobs would be the same . have you seen JC's "family car 2000" from "the car years" series back in the late 90s? He is driving a Zafira and says something like "So if this car is perfectly adequate why doesn't it sell so much <camera pans to badge> thats right, its a vauxhall <insert vintage clip of ladies running away screaming>"

Clivey, I can't quite understand you.
For the last few days you've been ranting about how great Vauxhalls really are. If you like Vauxhall cars, that's fine - but there is no need to tell it in true fanboy style.
Now you are complaing about JC criticizing Vectra. Why do you care what JC has to say about Vectra? Is he an authority for you?
FYI, the very same Jeremy Clarkson once selected Vauxhall Vectra as "the best car ever". With the argument that any car - even the Vauxhall Vectra - was better than no car at all.

It is fairly obvious that we need more Kia Magentis pictures here.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
You guys are relentless.
Or something.
apologies ferrer, couldn't help myself.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
