It oversteers, they will love it.

BBC America...cool

Awesome, can't wait! Will it be available for download via iTunes? The BBC America replay will be delayed by a few months no doubt.

TG RULES!!!

jeremy in the 1M!

my mom said: what if he doesnt like it? and you have already ordered? you will have to sell the car.

Cant wait

b33g33 · 06-21-2011, 10:57 AM

I really wish I could see a professional review of the car in something other than VO.

I realize that the color is irrelevant in this context (Although I'm sure Jezza will be commenting on the "LOOK AT ME!!!! Orange) but I'd like to see some nicely composed, under-processed pics of a Sapphire Black 1M taken by a pro crew.

Mark · 06-21-2011, 10:59 AM

I think they are going to love it, aside from some probable negative comments about the looks

Me too, especially as I have black! I believe there were a couple of AW reviews such as MSN UK. See reviews section.

Seems like only Auto Express and Autobild (sharing content) were two of the select few.

PA135i · 06-21-2011, 11:27 AM

Cool... thanks. I will watch their review and then call my local dealer to order one!

wait... they only had 1 available for order..... and that was filled months ago...... so I can't order one. what an effen.... joke.

Sorry, couldn't help it

superchargedman · 06-21-2011, 01:23 PM

Why's that a joke? We were told from the start that this would be a limited production likely only spanning a year.

As Dan Said.. it oversteers... Jeremy will love it.. just like he likes the Ax murderer AMG63. I am sure he will complain about the orange a lot though.

My all time favorite Clarkson review was on the Toyota Prius. It is hilarious.
