The only thing I can think with their comments about it being too tame, is like if Chrysler took the viper and made it quieter, put on stability and traction control as well as ABS etc etc. The draw and appeal to a viper is the pure adrenalin rush of the monster torque and lack of driver aids.
Simply amazing car.

Nah.
For a completely new car, it looks the same from the front as before. Not very special. The backend is cool and the interior (especially the dashboard) is awesome, but if I had the money I still would buy a lot of other cars before this would be on my list.
Oh, but I guess I have to love it because its expensive and fast

I know Hammond tends to be the most excitable of the three Top Gear Hosts, but that car seemed to really REALLY bring out the giggle factor in him. Those guys have a helluva job.
The car looks good, I'd love to see/hear one in person. It's hard to tell how big the new "Big Lambo" is without a good side-by-side. Maybe throw it next to an R8 or a Corvette. I wonder what Top Gear will compare the car to. The new McClaren?

No, you don't have to love it. People have varied taste, yours just happens to be poor. The vast majority of people with good taste like it for the power, innovation, refinement, exclusivity and drop dead sexy design.

Dunno if he's a GM hater, but where is the store I can get "good taste"? Or maybe a guideline to good taste in automotive design?
Oh, and if you are a Camaro/Ford/PS3 Fanboi you get flamed for being ignorant and dumb etc, but it's ok with a Lamborghini....because
its expensive? it has a cow on the front?

Why are people bashing other's preferences? So what if someone wants a ZR1 over a lambo? That's his opinion, and there is nothing wrong with that. Why call the guy a retard or whatever?
Grow up a little bit people. You may not understand the reason why he might not want one, but to bash him over it is stupid
