OK, so he doesn't like any cars? Seems his justifications were so all over the place, you might as well buy a moped just to be safe...

I do like his brash and Oz style, but he is trying a little too hard to be "Clarkson-esque" I find.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

He LOVES the STI.... ;D

as do all Aussies, that is a given...Subaru is loved down here almost more than Holden or Ford

He also likes the CX5.

I agree. They also misspelled 'Infiniti' - undermines his cred as a stickler for excellence..

He didn't misspell Infinity.  Nissan did.

Haha, well played

But I wonder if Nissan had to spell it that way because the Infinity name was already taken by the speaker mfr.? Not sure what the trademark law is/was.
