Default What do you think the Top Gear crew will think of the new 370Z?

Top gear is one of the most entertaining tv shows about cars I have ever seen and I understand that their reviews are not always serious but what do you guys think their ultimate feelings will be about the 370z?

I am also very excited to see the z power slide around their track. Also, the Stig will put the car to the test and I want to see what the power lap time will be.

Even if you do not like the show, you can be assured that their artistic style of cinematography will show some awesome shots of the 370z. So lets discuss your thoughts on the Top Gear crew getting their hands on the 370z.

I frankly don't care what Jeremy Clarkson thinks of the 370z. Although I'm pretty sure he'll make the episode entertaining.

Maybe they'll do another Z car lineup like they did when the 350z came out.

I love Top Gear.... My Cousins from the UK got me hooked, and thank goodness my cable provider has BBC America.

More than likely Clarkson won't like it. He's never liked any generation Z. But it'll still be a good show though. Top Gear is my favorite show.

Well Jeremy Clarkson HATED the 350z



but he loved the Nissan GTR. I think he has a lot more respect for Nissan post GTR release. I am curious to see what he thinks about the new 370z

BTW Love the show! One of my fav show on TV.

Its so depressing that the BBC America Top Gear is edited for content and two years old/behind the current ones.
I watch them for the hell of it but I always watching the current ones on Surfthechannel.com or 5thgear.

The last 4-5 episodes were Hillarious, especially the one where they took the Challenger, z06, and CTV out to the Bonneville Salt flats.

Clarkson will hate the 370Z, hands down.

I respectfully disagree. I don't like the G35 or 37 either. The show has lots of useful information, granted Jeremy does exaggerate a few things to make it more entertaining. That is the reason why people watch this show.

Personally, I think this is going to be one of those times where jeremy first talks crap about the 350z and then talks crap about the 370z's exterior and maybe a little about the interior.

However, he will then say "So you'd expect this car to also drive like a total failure (Jeremy classic camera look straight at the camera), but it doesn't. in fact its brilliant. It's like... (insert ridiculous exaggeration/analogy here)."

In the end he's going to be very impressed by the rev match system and the performance/price ratio. I think he's going to end the review on a very positive note.

That is so true. Like all those times he says all the negative things about a car then says something like "Until you hit this button." Cue the epic music and the 370z sliding around the track.

Clarkson will not like it.... He actually thought the GT-R was boring, so maybe he will say the Z is engaging!! I am just looking forward to the comedy.

I'm confused with Jeremy's statements sometimes. The first test that he did, he really liked the gt-r, it almost broke his neck too, but the second test that he did, he said it was a boring car.....But back to the OP's question, i don't think jeremy will like the 370Z....but I know Vicki from fifth gear would love it
