Because he essentially talks shit about the Alpine A610, which was actually quite a decent and underrated car, even though he himself made very different statements in the past.

to be fair, there is a large difference between a new French car and a used French car.

There is also a difference between a used french car and a trashed used french car. You just can’t get a decent A610 for less than €20,000, one of the much less rare GTAs or A310s, sure, but not the A610.

I’ve got multiple used French cars. 15 and 27 years old. Quite solid, really. You just need to buy the cars that weren’t molested by a previous owner.

I don’t care if he talks shit about it; at the end of the video they demolish a pretty rare vehicle. That’s pretty stupid.

But the demolishing of rare cars is standard practice at TG.

There’s a big difference between 1992 and 2007.

In ‘07 you could pop down to the Toyota dealer and take home a brand-new Camry V6 that would do naught-to-60 in the same time as the A610 - and the Camry would have a boot and could seat 5.

Demolishing cars and talking trash is a Top Gear staple.

It’s also why the show has many viewers — they want to be entertained not informed.

I got flamed on the FP for briefly expressing my dislike of Clarkson. Never again.

For years now his great insight and (waning) humor had barely been worth the piles of bullshit and belligerent rudeness that only served his cult of personality. ..an just wasted a ton of airtime. He had it coming, and probably with a chuckle, thought he’d just get a slap on the wrist.

Some people think it’s cute he’s a racist, hyper nationalist asshat and it’s all totally worth it. Fuck that and fuck him claiming cultural ignorance. He knows what he’s doing and that kind of complacency is what encourages prejudice and other people like him to make off color comments with a smirk. Soft sexism/ racism is still sexism/ racism

I say the same shit about him on other sites and get attacked for it. I don’t care about his nationalist attitude but that he would simply attack someone over fucking cold food. That is a good example of probably how much of a dick he is and nobody should be revering him.

...and homophobia. And so long, FP, so never again.

Good riddance. Replace him with a woman and let the show go on.
