American cars are critiqued the same as any other vehicle.
You just don't like the harsh truth. If GM charges "Xxxxx$" for a vehicle and puts plastic ***** and cheesy attention getting gimmicks, it'll be pointed out, aka clear motor window in zr1's hood,
the rear 'plastic' fascia and road noise of the vettes.
AGAIN, the rear of the Corvette is SUPPOSED TO FLEX. Ferraris do this as well and you will never see TopGear pointing this out.
This would be like complaining that you can't pop the tires because they are runflats

You WANT it to flex so when some idiot bumps you you're not left with a dent or cracked panel.
Who said GM engineered the Corvette to be the quietest car out there? You can complain about noise all you want but the fact of the matter is its a sports car, not a luxury car.

does know one realize that $40k GBP = ~$61k USD
would you pay that for a camaro - HELL NO.
Actually I am kind of disappointed in the performance of the new camaro. It weighs to much, the suspension is too tame and because of it's weight it really doesn't have as much power as it should IMO. Hell the new 5.0 keeps up or wins![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
and again, PLEASE! Put an exhaust on the car!
I would take the E63 in a heartbeat lol.

Its this that bothers me, the "pretend" truth.

There are several places you can watch it.
I suggest using a torrent or direct download.
There's a forum called FinalGear. It has regular video offers in both formats within hours of the shows airing.
