We all know how Jeremy likes to twist words to his advantage.

I never know what to assume about Clarkson, especially when I remember that he couldn't tell the difference between a V6 and V8 Mustang and also called asked if a C6 'vette had a "5.7 litre V8." Then there's that one about him assuming that the Shelby GT had 500 hp. And then there's the one where they dynoed the GT500 and assumed it would make the same 500 hp at the wheels as it did at the Crank, but that was more Hammond's doing.

You got to take into account that when Clarckson reviews American cars he finds things to criticize them on, even if they aren't true.

That's just my take on it.
