"The Clubman is one of the worst cars in the world". according to Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson lives with the Mini Clubman for a week and declares it's one cars on sale today.

Quote:

Jeremy Clarkson
on the Mini Cooper Clubman S:

Unfortunately, after a week, I have decided it’s one of the worst cars in the world. About as desirable as a packet of dung or a can of worms. Truthfully? I’d rather have a goat.
And the Clarkson finishes the article with a rather nice message...

Quote:
Originally said by Jeremy Clarkson:

Please have a wonderful Christmas. Drink too much. Eat too much. Don’t feel guilty about the presents you give or those that you receive. Care not for your carbon footprint or the impact of your naked consumerism. Be happy. And remember, you are having a much better time than Gordon Brown because he has no friends and you’ve got lots.

What's the point behind it? A bigger trunk?

It's a slightly stretched Mini with a latch on the right side to make it more friendly as a people carrier.

"More friendly" only if you live in Germany or any other country that drives on the right side of the road.

Re: "The Clubman is one of the worst cars in the world". according to Jeremy Clarkson

I agree, today there are more and more cars that serve to nothing. They are like some bastards between sedans and SUVs, coupes and SUVs, compact cars and caravans...

Although you can look today's auto industry from positive side which I'm happy about, there is this bad side - cars become more similar one to another, they are becoming fat (just look at the old Swift - new Swift, old Punto - new Punto and it's not like I care too much about this but I see these cars daily and that's irritating), loaded with bad quality electronics, unnecessary etc.

Re: "The Clubman is one of the worst cars in the world". according to Jeremy Clarkson

I have always thought that this car was useless, but it's certainly not the worst car of the world and i am pretty sure that if it wasn't a foreigner compagny that was behind this car ( and specialy a german one), you would never hear such comments from clarkson.
