It's much less objective.

Jay's TigerShark accesorised C5 Z is patterned after the GM showcar, right down to the Fikse wheels and Corsa exhaust - but he resisted supercharging his 427ci version 
Listening to Jay in this test you see why he is the consumate car guy. Here is a gent that can buy any car on the planet cash money - yet he enjoys a simple 6 year old Corvette as much as he enjoys his Macca F1.
I can think of many people who might learn by his example

He says that he drives the Corvette because it doesn't cost much if he breaks it.....
He is a joy to watch and I hang for his new releases each Monday.

It was ok to watch, though it got a bit annoying for me because he just sounded like a chevy salesman. Then i noticed the "Presented by: General Motors Corporation". It was a little disappointing because he just seemed to be talking about the corvette in general, i would have liked to have heard about the individual car.
Still a great looking, and even better sounding, car though, oh wow.

Jay leno also said in a recent interview how much he loves a 13 year old miata, so yes more people should listen to him.

Dont let the "Presented by: General Motors Corporation" get o you. They are advertisers on his website - he is not playing up to GM, he has no need to - GM has no interest in his promoting a 6 year old used car

what great review. people should listen to the person who owns the car and drives it instead of some bloated guy in tv telling how the interior sucks and thus it is a car destined to fail...
enjoyed watching him drive and talk about the car, just made me appreciate the corvette even more, for what it is and what it's capable of
