The hosts like the BMW more and say our Z is loud and brutal and unpleasant to drive. (Of course I kind if like it rough so...)

Overall it is a fun episode though and is on Netflix.

If I recall they are driving a 2010 6mt touring and liked the synchro-rev-matcherizer. Also the host admitted the Z was a lot of fun to drive. I think his objection came down to it being too brutal for a daily driver.
Clarkson only liked the 240Z all the rest were worse. The (370) car is not refined enough for his fancy.

Paraphrase: It is his last line, Even though the Z is faster, better handling, and cheaper, we say get the BMW.
