^Me too.
Clarkson, you would imagine, would take great care in providing an honest and unbiased opinion as to whether the car is good or bad, because he is such a public figure. If he praises a bad car too much, people will be angry.

or, he becomes an entertainment god, and even people who aren't into cars are watching his show to see his next set of antics... never underestimate the power of the purse matt  There is a more limited number of auto enthusiasts compared to the general public... and, it is the highest rated show in it's time slot too; obviously not done on enthusasts alone

But because the show is so popular and because he's such a high profile presenter, he has the power to influence buying, thus he won't endorse a car unless he feels it's deserved. He's actually written this himself.

to me he is "pure entertainment value" i just love his style and his english humor. i would never take is oppinion or advice on cars, since he is such a biased person  but him being so biased makes his show so much funnier. i love his attitude towards american cars, because that is when his worst side comes out and he gets about as sarcastic and offensive as it gets.
i remember the scene from one of his movies when he was in the states and standing in front of a restaurant that said "est. 1978" (or something along those lines) and he went : "Oh that is soo old" stuff like that cracks me up. to me he is just a grade A comedian

Although he does make some interesting points, I still think he is just trying to entertain.
Purely entertainment value.
