Default Jeremy Clarkson

Ok so theres a lot of bad publicity about him, but he speaks the truth, and he has a great sense of humour. there will be no one to replace him ever.

Hes also a really good driver better than he lets on, and his car choice is cool. The sl55 amg is an amazing car.

What does everyone else think??

Bad publicity? We discussed that several times and I think here you will find more Jeremy lovers than haters

IMO Jeremy is one of the best hosts EVER.. I know he can't launch a car proprely and is unable to keep a well balanced powerslide, but that's not everything and his reviews are always great to watch..

He is a great guy! Makes the whole show colorful!

Not like the other boring shows anywhere else!

Top Gear is one of the greatest car shows ever made!

I think he is the best car presentator of them all he has a good sense of humor, he is one of a kind. I hope he is going to present the show a long time from now.

I think he is so great because he has had so many different experience and being old, he saw all the evlition of cars. Comedy in his presentations is always a plus. I think I like tiff better though...

Jeremy is just a entertainer. He knows it, and he acts like it. There notting wrong about that. It irretates me that he is saying "This is the best car i've ever driven in" almost in every review lately. When you think longer about that, its getting amusing actually. I personally find James May amusing.

PS Jeremy is a terrible driver, but that doesn't even matter either.

For those of you who can get BBC2, in 40 minutes there's a new show of Jeremy Clarkson on. It's called Jeremy Clarkson's Inventions That Changed The World. In this first episode the topic is guns. I will be watching of course. I love all programmes that Jeremy has done so far. He's a great host, but you must filter out exaggeration from facts yourself. I don't mind that though. It makes for entertaining shows. I agree with RallyeNLD on James May!

People constantly rant on about other reviewers being better drivers but i have never cared. Clarkson is just the best automotive journalist around and even though hes an old crock, is still a very funny guy who has no trouble making a joke at his own expense. His 575 review was one of the best ever. I could read his reviews and opinions on anything all day long as he seems to always have an original perspective.

Jeremy is a great presenter, maybe one of the best. He's never boring,of course behind the wheel he isn't so great, but I don't mind. It's irritating,like said RallyeNLD it's irritating when he says show after show that the car he's driving is the best in the world,but no-one is perfect. BTW, a staff with Vicky, Jeremy and Tiff would be perfect. Great presenter, great driver, and a girl that's good behind a wheel

I don't like Tom Ford, JC Wannabe.

And what happened with Quintin Wilson. He rocked (not).

I hate his choice in some cars....
I however love him as a reviewer... He is so extreme even though he doesnt like aircooled 911's or BMW's in general
