Well you are to people who browse this site.

They are entitled to their opinions and we are entitled to ours and also we have the entitlement to criticise their opinions if we don't agree. I, for one, don't agree with many of the cars they have put on the list. I put it in here as I was asked and I thought we could have a discussion around the merits or lack thereof of their list.

The BBC have a duty to give the license fee payers what they want and Top Gear is phenomenally popular. On the main site last week I raved about their new drama 'The Shadow Line' but despite how good that is it will probably at best match the viewing figures of Top Gear and will probably get a few million less.

I have said in the past that I enjoy Top Gear and watch it if it is on even if it has descended even farther into stupidity in recent series. I don't take it seriously and I won't ever buy a car based on their recommendations. It is at best dumb entertainment. Three bored middle aged blokes having a laugh with cars. Admittedly I don't like it when they wreck certain cars but I also don't like everything about everything I watch.
