Worked for me. Not a bad little video, but still snobby Europeans. I can't believe they complained about the interior. Have you ever seen the interior of a BMW? It's all cheap plastic! Even though they were complimentary to the stang, I still think these guys were too snobby to call it like it is and give FULL credit where credit is due.

I hate Top Gear. Lets get some Motor Trend videos or something. I'm sure you've all seen the episodes with the 2005 GT (not the Stang) and the C6? They just like ripping on American cars. I know one guy on that show liked his GT but the other guy just couldn't stop ripping on it. Then with the C6 (Someone can't drive a stick worth ****?). Horrible.

I'm watching the Mustang vid now.

Top Gear is by far the best automotive press we have! Motor Trend is garbage and Car and Driver is nothing but crap, remember, they gave the Honda Ridgeline Truck Of The Year even though it came in last for off road capabilities. Anyhoo.

They touched on a few key things, the cheep interior and underpowered engine and the “stone aged” suspension. I give Top Gear a thumbs up on this one, but I was expecting it to be on the track so we can really see if this car can beat the Vauxhall Monaro.

Well Done!

They did place it as close as they could to the super cool category which had only 4 or 5 cars in it. Not bad for being judged by a european. In fact all of his reasons noted for why it's a great car match up well with what we all point out about the 05. The only thing i'm curious about is what european cars close to 30,000 will run circles around the mustang? Because if he was weighing our mustang against 50,000+ cars, well that's another good note.

I think you'll find that they all loved the Ford GT and Jeremy Clarkson bought one, in fact it was delivered about 2 weeks ago, which was over 9 months behind scedule and sadly has broken down 3 times I think so far.

The C6 review was valid, it got whomped in a drag race buy a TVR 350C which has enough poke to keep a new Viper honest upto 150mph+

The other car was the latest NSX which is a fast car 0-60 4.8 seconds and 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds. It should give the Vette a run for its money.
