Yes Cambell Clarkson's review was more entertaining and more informative, giving some of the bad points of the car as well as saying in was the best 4 door car in the world.. Good find on youtube though . Did you wear the same anorak while you were looking or change halfway through...

Nah dude, he was expressing "words" pertaining to what may possibly be an opinion, we all know what his opinion is worth, especially the striking workers who were "taken outside and shot in front of their families" in November. 
 
He says "words" that he recons people may want to hear. If he thought the E60 M5 was the best saloon car in the world, why does he not have one in place of his Taxi (oops, Merc).
 
Not a personal assault on Mr "so called" Clarkson, just the content of the show and the way it is presented.
 
As for the anorak, I have a plethora of those for my many interests.

and Clarkson even gives a reasonable technical explanation LOL

That boy Steve Berry's mouth moving in different directions put me off the last video. Thought I would never say this but Clarkson suits Top Gear.

I forgot about the Saab news of them going bust.
 
I have to say the Saab drivers I've experienced drive very badly, a guy near me, tailgates you and where I park a guy swings into the next car park space with only millimeters to spare from my car.  Needless to say this guy has a large dent in his front wing.
 
Others drive very agressivley, and I wonder is it becase they have realised they are just driving around in a more expensive Vectra.
