Don't get me wrong, I love the UK cars show (Top Gear and Fifth Gear) and download them as soon as they show up online (thanks to FinalGear.com) and yes, most of the time it is all about the show, not the accuracy of the test, but when they serve back definitive statements "as it turns out, the M3 is still king..." based on BS test, it is annoying...

Kind of what I was trying to get at, and I know it was meant to be humorous, but like timeTOY said they seemed pretty serious when they came to their conclusion.

We all know the M3 had to win the track competition but they should have told the girls to say the Lexus was more comfortable and had better vanity mirrors.

I agree with that statement

I was at an intersection next to a guy in a new M3 and his lady friend and when I pulled up she looked at the F, looked at the guy in the M3, got out and got into my car then I proceeded to smoke the M3 before driving her to my place.....actually that didn't happen at all, but its not only a good story, it might also be a good commercial

Make sure to add that she keyed the M3 and took a **** on the hood before she rode off with you. Just to make it extra believable.

Sure why not. A little criticism doesn't hurt.
