If I remember correctly he liked the V1. He didn’t like the bongs and thought the exterior was designed with a ruler only. But when compared to the holden (which they love) with the same engine he felt it wasn’t worth the added price. I really wanted to see a review of someone who typically hates american cars. Because every article I have read thus far has the writer sack riding this car like a pro. I mean if you give a kid his first piece of candy and ask him how it tastes they are going to give it an excellent review. Same with a no name writer from the Detroit news or some online car website. Clarkson is someone who has driven everything and can give a good honest review. ---

Same with a no name writer from the Detroit news or some online car website. **Clarkson is someone who has driven everything and can give a good honest review.** That is true. It is also interesting to watch them (topgear) compare cars we are familiar with to stuff we will never get to drive. ---

> [@BigRon"](#): > > Even more surprising is the interior. Trimmed by the people who do the Bugatti Veyron, it is — and you won’t believe this — a nice place to be. The seats are by Recaro, the leather is hand-stitched and the graphics don’t appear to have come from Amstrad circa 1984. You would swear you were sitting in something European. He obviously he forgot to mention how the Audi and BMW interiors are superior. Sooo… I guess that would mean all your A4’s interiors are better than that of a Veryon also. Atleast that’s the logic he would use if he were to frequent this board and drive a 10yo A4, 3series or accord… :spank: ---
