"Jeremy Clarkson
My favourite car? That’s a tricky one

Now, however, there are probably 20 or 30 cars that I’d gladly buy, cars that I want to buy, cars that keep me awake at night as I toss and turn wondering which one would be best . . .

My current favourite is the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Lamborghinis have always been 10 tons of style with no substance at all. But in recent years Audi has put a bit of Araldite in the mix and now you could nearly convince yourself that this noisy and shouty mid-engined drop top supercar with bright orange seats is a sensible exchange for 131,000 of your pounds. Plus another £600 if you want a cupholder......."

He wants a Lambo, an Audi and a Pagani. He doesn't seem as insane as I thought.
 
I've been waiting eagerly for this list. Judging by his comments on certain cars I've always wondered what this lsit would be like. Some things that come out of his mouth are just plain wrong, stupid and unsensible but he hit it right with this list. There is no car in there that I don't understand why he chose it. Good work Clarkson.

Happy to see the Gallardo and Zonda F there. Surprised not to see a Koenigsegg though considering his comments on it. I fully understand why he didn't.

Well, me to. Except one. I don't get why he would pick a Pheaton over an A8/S8 for example. :confused:
 
Alfa Romeo Brera? That car got very bad reviews from all the car magazines i have read!:confused:

Oh my god, BMW m5 ? What a huge sacrilege !!
The M5 isn't such a huge suprise. The Engine, power and gearbox are amongst the best out there.
 
Luw it's an evidence, but you know what the guy thinks about recent bimmers.

I'm like him and don't think the M5 is perfect. I don't like the looks of it an neither do I like the interior but I have great respect for what it can acheive with all of its components.
 
I'll never forget his comment about the RS4:

"I have a sneaky suspission that I'm sitting 4 feet away from the best engine ever made" :bowdown:
 
No Ferrari or Mercedes, his garage sucks.

Citroen C6? Oh yeah.

I'm curious to why he doesn't have the Ferrari F430 there, though. He often praises it and seems to love the car to death.
 
in the article he says he wants the SL FL.. and he had a SL55 to..:D

Exactly, which is why I was suprised to see a Gallardo in his list instead of the F430.
