That's a fair comparison.

A $60G sports car against a $27G muscle car, that's comparing apples to apples. You can't even FIT 4 people in the Lotus let alone seat them.

I think limey boy forgets what it's like to have 3 friends, or proper dental care for that matter.

Agree. For another 10k, put in a twin turbo package in the mustang and watch the Lotus employees cry.

Yeh..what a stupid comparison,,,

just another way for top gear to trash N/A cars

converting the currencies, that's a $67,000 car vs a $45,000 car.. which isn't really apples to apples, but i think it proves the point he was making.

Big and brash vs small and refined. which one won? I don't think it was strictly about cost, and he admitted it (the outcome wasn't a surprise).

Top Gear will always be ragging on american cars.. I don't blame them.. we get a good amount of crap here... if I had the choices in cars they had, I'd be ragging on american cars too.

But it's totally different in the UK.. you have to remember that a car is a luxury there... at over $2/L for gas, they know the privelege of driving, while here, it's more a birth-right..

But there are some american cars that they love... the Focus ST, the GT, etc... granted, all top dollar machines tho.

I still love Top Gear.. it's great entertainment, and what they have to say about american manufacturers isn't all incorrect.

BTW, found an article of Clarkson testdriving the Mustang GT --> click here

From puppet's link...

Ghey... :lol:

haha that was just a chance to bash ford :) the only thing better about the mustang was the driver (maybe). absolutely no chance from the start

They actually like ford... just not american fords...

That's a sweet Lotus. The comparison was a little lopsided, but ultimately it just showed the track prowess of a track-geared car.

I don't have the $67,000 kicking around for that car... but I wish they'd have them over here, regardless :)

EDIT: can you actually see out the back of that thing?
