Jeremy Clarkson Quotes from "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly"

"The reason American cars are cheap is because they are made from melted down Action Man." (He really hates American-made cars)

"In many ways, this car is like herpes. Great fun catching it, but not so fun to live with it everyday." - On the Corvette Z06



"It certainly isn't pretty. Honestly, I'd rather look at a baboon. In fact, come to think about it, I'd rather look at the back of a baboon." - On the Prius 2003 model



"So, it's not beautiful. It's not fast. It's not particularly economical. Not DESPERATELY safe. And now it turns out it isn't even bullet-proof. Sheesh." On the Prius 2003 model after a certain Billy Bob shoots it.

"Hmm.. this means the Americans have had the car for a hundred years and they are still going no faster when this whole place was cowboy-central." On the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang, 4.6 L, 300bhp



"This was built for straight lines." - On the 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT

"Sure, the Shelby has more horsepower. But trust me on this, it doesn't matter. It REALLY doesn't matter." - On the 2007 Ford Roush Mustang V8



"While this may look like a large executive saloon with enormous wheels, it's actually a modern-road-burning muscle car." - On the Chrysler 300 SRT (Street & Racing Technology) 8 based on the Mercedes E Class, 6.1 L V8 engine, 425 bhp


"The extraordinary thing is though, none of the noise it makes are NOISE. I mean, you thought that it got one of it right, by accident, but NO! Honestly, it's like farts. Loads of different types and I don't really wanna hear any of them." - On the Cadillac XLR V V8, 443bhp



"You would imagine then that the American motorists didn't care much for Jaguar's new XK 8. They'd probably find the 4.2 Litre V8 too small and they wouldn't care to hoot that it's made from aluminum. So it's light and agile. So what?" - On the Jaguar XK 8

"It has an 8.3 Litre V10 engine with 510bhp and you could use an engine like that to move a moon out of orbit." - On the Dodge Viper


"What I love most of all is that it's quite, civilised, and sophisticated. But you can sense, that the back end, wants to come out and play." On the 2008 Ford GT



Cheers.
