The dream garage of Jeremy Clarkson

Well, me to. Except one. I don't get why he would pick a Pheaton over an A8/S8 for example.

I do. And I would also choose a Phaeton over an A/S8. It's beautiful as few and a fantasticly good car and there is just something special about it. I'd take an S-Class over it any day though.

Haha, not Citroen. Corvette!

Ah, dang. I misread. I guess it was just blind hope!

 

[SDNR]

in the article he says he wants the SL FL.. and he had a SL55 to..

Exactly Artist ....he has owned a succession of Mercs ...so this list is difficult to understand

Well, I think JC truly admires carmakers who go "crazy" and create a one-off product that probably would never have come about, without the authority of some nutcrack.

The Phaeton, under Ferdinand Piech, was an insane idea that really polarised a lot of opinions from investors, economists and sensible people. And that insanity is probably what makes the Phaeton so special and so different from the S, A8 or 7... Just like how the Bugatti Veyron is arguably the most extreme creation in the world... That's why it's on his list.

So you say that you will take a VW Pheaton over an Audi S8 ???

 

[Zonda]

Yes.

Just my unique taste.

Seems like a great list, JC sure has great taste in cars!
