I love pretty much everything Clarkson makes, including the latest video, but I have to take issue with a few minor points:
1) The whole point of the video seems to be to discredit and mock the United States. I don't disagree with any of his points per se, but I have to question his motivation.
2) Every test is constructed to tip the scales in favor of Europe. The SUV test: wouldn't a Jeep be a better choice than an Escalade?
3) Even though it is made for the US market, isn't a Prius a Japanese car? I do realize that Clarkson is attempting to attack an American trend here, but come on, have some consistancy.
4) Clarkson loves the Ford GT, but fails to mention that it is perhaps the most unreliable car Ford has made in decades. His own Ford GT has broken down like 10 different times.
Other than those gripes, I enjoyed the video.
