I remember the hatchet job Clarkson did when reviewing the Saab 9-5 on the television programme "Top Gear". Basically his review consisted of "I like BMWs so there". >The Swedish magazine Bilsport wrote about the 9-5 Aero and also >drove it round a track and the Aero beat the BMW 328Ci by some >tenths of a second and the Viggen by about two seconds, so I >don't think that Jeremy was quite as objective in his opinion >as he could be, but anyone is entitled to have an opinion and >as long as he is happy with his, who am I argue. Clarkson is rarely objective in his opinions. He can be entertaining at times but on other occassions his opinions unsubstantiated by facts are boring. >For myself, having ridden my 9-5 Aero for 6000km now with about >2000km on winter roads, I love the car.

Which probably explains why Mr Clarkson had a problem :) Kevin Lee home page:www.keltia4.co.uk
