Ha, well it is Jeremy Clarkson so he is a bit biased in certain ways, but pretty much always entertaining. He is one of the three hosts, err presenters, of Top Gear on BBC.

He likes performance, but he does appreciate solid cars that get you from A to B. Although he certainly isn't an environmentalist, he is keen to point out how much worse the hybrids are for the environment than a standard car when you take the production of the car into account as well as the toxic batteries. Also they did a little race around their track with the Prius and an M3 where the Prius was basically setting the pace as fast as it could go with the M3 keeping up... and the M3 soundly defeated the Prius in fuel economy.

I always love his way of writing.

It’s worse than the sound of your parachute failing to open. Really, to get an idea of how awful it is, you’d have to sit a dog on a ham slicer.

That review was hillarious. I sent it to my wife and it convinced her that she would not want one after not really liking the look in the first place but she did like the cost and the fuel milage.
