Here's a Top Gear Top Tip for everyone here:
Top Gear is not a serious car show. It is an entertainment show where the props happen to be cars.
Clarkson says stuff for entertainment value. He makes fun of all nationalities (seriously, stop foaming at the mouth cause he made fun of America, laugh a little, and listen long enough to hear him make a World War 2 joke about a German car). Hell, he makes fun of British cars ("assembled by a couple of blokes from melted down toilet seats in a shed in Yorkshire"). He makes fun of stereotypes because it's freaking funny.
Clarkson declared the ZR1 car of the year...he does NOT hate that car. He is well on the record of liking the Viper as well. And the Ford GT, despite it not liking him back.

This is absolutely true. I think maybe people have seen too many vignettes and not full episodes. Also, they don't get into all the stats and crap like Motorweek does, they mention a few key items then they drive around pretty locations and wrap it up at a track. It's a travelogue for cars.
