I saw the full episode and was a bit taken aback. Having said that, it was good banter and fooling around by the two trying to outsmart each other.

That doesnt make sense coz every chance Clarkson gets to praise 6.2L engine he goes on and on saying how this is the best motor ever, He was obssessed with the C63 in comparion to the M3 & RS4

noodleman

haha you have to watch the whole thing to see why some of those cars are in the vid!

Who gives a crap. We all know what the car is worth.
Lately, I feel like Top Gear's judgement on various cars is made just to be as controversial as possible.
I do enjoy watching the show but I don't treat it is a motorhead's prophecy - it has become a pure entertainment show and lost it's value in my eyes.

Chris Harris on Cars is IMO the best series with spot-on car reviews at the moment.

Sidv22

you are right! some of the cars didnt deserve to be part of that episode, but then, those two folks are trying to pull each other and their respective cars down! I think it was a fun episode and not to be taken seriously.

Clarkson actually owns or at least owned a c63. In his video of the blackseries, he mentions that he owns the predecessor of this car.

papashango

And if I recall correctly, they picked the Lexus SC430 as the worst car ever.

The C63 Black in the video was actually his own car ...

Where can we download the episode? Its not on final gear.

Yeah Clarkson had a CLK Black Series before that one. I remember he reviewed an AMG with the 6.2L engine (can't recall what model) and called it the automotive equivalent of an axe murderer. Sounds about right.

Really though, just enjoy Top Gear for what it is... top quality (and beautifully shot) automotive related entertainment. Anyone that watches it for car reviews or legitimate car news is missing the point.

Diabolis

It was a CLK Black Series (and I think he now has an SLS).

noodleman

it should be on there. It's not a Top Gear ep but a jeremy clarkson dvd special. One of those ftp sites should have it.

Diabolis

Why do I always post the same thing Vise does a few minutes after him?

callmiro

I actually bought my car because of his review in the comparison with the M3 and RS4 (even got the same color)

I drove all of those cars, including the CTS-V and never doubted my purchase for 1 second.

Haha, you need to step up your game. Or apparently I have too much time on my hands... credit a slow summer work wise.

btw I completely agree with their final selection in that video. I hated that car the moment I laid eyes on it.

Worst car in the world: PT Cruiser.

haha! thats quite right or as a matter of fact, u can also count Chevy HHR

Diabolis

... and the Pontiac Aztek. That's one FUGLY thing.

CoolBDPhenom03

I concur with both of those too.

roadtalontsi

what about the echo?

MBAdon

Same with me! The M3 was my dream car for years and I didn't even know about the C63 until I saw that Top Gear episode. The engine sound and the axe murder comment sold me. I was coming from a small engined great handling import and wanted to move to serious horsepower.

papashango

Which episode is the axe murderer one? Season and Episode? Anyone?

I test drove the CTS-V and chose the C63 on exhaust and how the seat fit me perfect. Felt the CTS-V was on the heavier side. Don;t get me wrong, I'd rock either of them any day.
