Clarkson is all in good fun (like how he says we all wear cowboy hats, eat cheese, and drive mustangs). Much of what he says, we all say here ourselves too. A lot of people just don’t like someone across the pond pointing it out. We don’t need a limey telling us we are turning into a fat, honey boo boo society. We know it. :)
And lets not forget that we’re all fat because we eat 40 lbs at a sitting. LOL
Sadly, he’s completely correct that American cars are mostly crap.
