Well there are three bloody blokes somewhere in UK, they are called Clarkson, May and Hammond, and they are the only Yuropeans I happen to like. They reviewed the 1 series, and this was their verdict. I can upload the entire review if you'd like.

Is Clarkson a true auto reviewer or a comedian?

I think the E class coupe is a little funky looking in the rear qtr area. The sedan is handsome, but I like the interior on the old E class more

So you like the Top Gear crew because they slammed the 1 series? And if they criticized a Toyota or Lexus product you would be the first to call them names, eh?

I suggest you seriously drive the car yourself to form your own opinion and stop listening to Top Gear. Top Gear is an entertainment show, pure and simple. I don't listen to anything they say about any car.


To me the 1 series was everything BMW stands for: no-nonsense purity and sport with a hue of luxury.

If the 1 series is everything BMW stands for, they are in big trouble

I've looked at both in person, IMO the HS is uglier. And the winner is.....

Is it a "bucket of warm wall paper paste" or something else?

I don't understand how you are a "hater" or people ask to "post pics" when you post a constructive review of the car.

The funny thing is his FINDINGS are pretty much on par with what C&D just found here in the midsize comparo (though C&D is a horrible read).

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...t-win-omg.html

Total scores are scary.
Audi-217
BMW-214
Infiniti-199
Jaguar-193
Benz-187

C&D gave the Benz the best interior/exterior styling

I guess styling is subjective, but, IMO, to say that the Benz has a better interior and exterior than the Jag XF is really pushing it.

I agree, that ranking is way to subjective to be of any use.
