Top Gear - Lexus LFA: Best and worst cars in the automotive history
LFA is at 52 minutes. Jeremy Clarkson says "LFA is absolutely perfect".
Top Gear: The Worst Car in the History of the World
A very special Top Gear Special, presented by Jezza and Capt. Slow Esq. In fact why don't we let them introduce this particular slice of petrol heaven?
Everyone has an opinion on bad cars... Now it’s time to hear the ones that really count – ours...
As it’s the worst car in the history of the WORLD, we’re on our travels ... to the North of England...to name and shame the most rubbish car from a manufacturer which, frankly, should have known better.
But, it’s not all about hateful cars...Oh no. You have to revel in some of the best ones to appreciate the stinkers. There’s the Ferrari 458 spider, Toyota’s GT86 and the £340,000 Lexus LFA rubbing shoulders with a Mercedes SLS.
Our guest driver, the Stig’s Yorkshire cousin, puts his whippet to one side and throws a BMW M5 round a gymkhana course before we have a go in a couple of Transatlantic challengers. Things don’t go well.
We spend treasured leisure time on the golf course continuing our debate. That doesn’t go well either. We even put our own cars – past and present – into the reckoning. That ends badly too.
We argue over the great and the awful from Peugeot, Ford, Mahindra, FSO, Alfa Romeo, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Citroen, Peugeot, Saab....and many more.
And we have a special, surprise fate in store for the car we pick as our biggest loser...
Enjoy ...

WOOOW ! THIS is by far the best LFA video and review ever made! Kudos to Clarkson for giving the LFA a 2nd take in their show. The first one by Hammond with all the gimmicky effects and snide remarks didn't quite do it for me. This one however captures the race car-like qualities and the most beautiful sounds of the car so perfectly with such passionate commentaries that it sends shivers down my spine. Way to go Top Gear! Kudos again!
The only thing missing now is for the Stig to give the LFA and/or the 'Ring Edition a DRY run around the Top Gear track that the LFA so deserves.

I hope this continues in the upcoming Christmas special with the Lexus LFA where Clarkson will expand on these experiences. He seems to love the LFA transmission's mechanical feel.
I hope it is not a let down.
