You do lose creditability when quoting Clarkson at face value. Everyone knows on Top Gear he is entertainer first and serious automotive journalist second. Furthermore, if Cayman doesn't cut the mustard then a E90 with a "step" won't be anywhere near the mustard


He said these about the 3 series

As usual BMW claims that it’s an all-new car and that every panel is different from the saloon’s. But it still looks dull. You’d only really want to get inside it if you were being chased by an armed gang from Shining Path.

As a driver’s car, then, this is yet another winner. But I still wouldn’t buy one.

You need to think of it as a painting by the world’s greatest artist. Yes, the brush strokes are magnificent. Yes, the texture is superb. Yes, the perspective is world class and the detailing is better than you’d get from Leonardo.

But what he’s actually painted in this case is big dog turd.
Perhaps at this point you should start thinking about selling the dog turd? Problem with quoting Clarkson is he's fickle, he will say anything controversial to stir the pot and create commotion .
