- "appears to have been styled by someone who wasn't concentrating."
- "just plain, like a supermarket checkout girl."
- "If you want this sort of car, the Porsche Gayman is an obvious rival," he writes.
- "It goes harder but is deeply embarrassing to be seen in. So what I'd do is buy the soft-top Z4 M instead. "

W** is the matter with this guy, both the M Coupe and Cayman are good/great looking cars.

Only Jeremy Clarkson would compare a BMW Z4M Coupe or a Porsche Gayman to an earth digger . I like the way he writes his columns... Don't get upset about it, you know who it comes from

I think the guy is hilarious. He doesn't take himself (or, well, anything) too seriously and doesn't mind making a fool of himself if need be.

I won't argue with anyone who says that the Cayman is better looking. I think both cars are great looking. But to say that the Z4 M Coupe is ugly is absurd.

Exactly what i think about him, too!
Other than that, i don't take myself too seriously, either!
That's why i like him! He has humor. I read his articles more for fun, than for real information or even education!

Classic Clarkson, and these types of articles are why I love him!

It has nothing to do with the truth in my mind, just makes a great read!

I share the same exact feeling as you. I love reading what he writes not because it's the best there is but because it IS the best there is. Other journalists always just write about the obvious like "handles great", "looks good" and other crap and then there is Clarkson with "just plain, like a supermarket checkout girl."

Freakin love it.

The car on the other hand looks good, but honestly since I haven't seen it in person, I'll still say the Gayman () looks better.

It has truth in it, but greatly exagerrated for comedic effect. The BMW is ugly though. ;
