It's been removed Shaun ???

Is this the same car that's been reviewed also by 5th gear ??

I saw that a couple of months back, they loved it - bang for buck value anyways :)

Yeah it was the same model that 5th gear reviewed, Jeremy also loved it because it was fast and simple but he said he wouldn't buy one oversomething like a M5 because it looks moronic.

hahaha LOL - that may be the case in his view, each to their own, personally I reckon it looks good and Jeremy would need more than twice the dosh to go the M5 ;)

later on when they are talkin to hamilton he was sayin bout the diff
it let go spillin oil all over the track

A new link to the clip.

why don't you get the whole episode? well worth watching, must be one of the best i have ever seen. and trust me, i have seen them all :D

yes, Clarkson said the VXR looks moronic, but we shouldn't forget the context. he was asked if he would buy the beast from Oz rather than a BMW M5. well, you have to admit guys, even if money is no object, there are not too many cars that wouldn't look moronic in M5's company... i would really want to see any die hard HSV fan that asked to take home one of the two for the same money, would drive home the Aussie V8!

[blueraven]

i know the time sucked..... but have a look at what got the exact same time in the wet above it.



911 turbo. ;)

[Shaun]

None the less still a good clip and review in the end. The two Australians posted on the 1st video. There was more banta between them and Clarkson that will never make the tapes so they posted.

Have to agree with you there, i've seen, driven and been at high speed in an M5, beautiful car with big power and loads of cool features, but there's just something about a HSV that gets my heart racing!!!!! :D :D :D

[oneightoo]

as jeremy said, i dont need 24 settings for the diff, or 300 settings for the power..

[poita]

right foot go, left foot slow down
hands make u turn

[oneightoo]

lol all you need really..

i wanna drive my car, i dont want my car to drive my car..

I also totally agree :)

I'd seriously take a new upcoming VE Coupe with an LS7 or new LS9 'anyday' over the new M3 or M5 !!!! no bull ;)

Less than half the price of an M5 way cheaper than an M3 with much, much more raw appeal than either of Beemers :)
