Apologies if posted before but I have not seen it

This guy really hates the V8 Vantage, although I agree with him about the sat nav screen

[V12woollie]

Yup, been posted before. CNET, the source of the in-depth expert car review - not! They should stick to mobile phone and tablet reviews

Than again, not everybody is going to like the Vantage.

One detects more than a hint of jealousy from this ill-informed little pr!ck, since he knows he's going to have to give the roadster back once he's finished slating it, and drive home in his crappy Oldsmobile or some other piece of generic junk from Detroit.

I bet he likes a Prius. But then anyone that takes a CNET review of cars seriously wouldn't deserve to own one.

(Do you ever actually 'own' an aston or are you only ever it's 'custodian' for a period of history?)

[JimboA]

Do you think he'd like the coupe any more?

[triple5]

looks like he fits just fine when he's it.

Out of interest what's made of Magnesium under the bonnet?

Somebody should do a review on his moustache. And shirt.

Sean, there´s at least a couple of good Americans on this forum who post up interesting topics and analysis.

I pray to God you like Scots

It's surprising the frequency with which many Brits on this forum drop offhand, snide remarks regarding Americans. Is this behavior exemplary of typical British culture and attitudes toward outsiders? It doesn't reflect very kindly on you guys.

To be fair to us Brits it is not just Americans. We can be offhand about the Italians the Germans, certainly the French. In fact just about any nation you care to think of.

After your recent excellent postings Mon ami I can appreciate your frustration but I would ask that you continue in your professional approach towards the forum and the many people who appreciate your efforts.

Would you like me to take this thread off topic?

I just love them, and this year in September, especially those who understand economics.

Jon...If it's fried we understand it. If it's not then we couldn't care less.

Is it any surprise that Cnet have got Alex Goy and Xcar to take over?

I have 2 nieces, 2 nephews and a sister in law who are American .. I adore them.

Plus I have a number of lovely American mates.

I just didn't take to the presenter's style

Scotland is God's own land, populated by God's own people, whoever God is

That just sounds like the guys who says, "I'm not really racist. In fact, I have several friends who know some black people".

No nation is immune Karl. I've spent the past few day's in Houston sitting with a number of my American cousins. They quite often forget that they have a limey sitting among them, but we still have a good laugh (usually at me)!
