    Default Clarkson names the best and most fun cars launched this year

    Take a guess and post it before you watch the video, try not to look at the youtube title lol.

    What's the very first thing I look at? Yup... the title.

    Never tell me not to do something.

    The M1 was in some pretty good company there; surprised it won. Mind you, it is all based on the opinion of Clarkson... someone I don't always agree with.

    Based on Clarkson's opinion?
    Was there a new Aston Martin launched this year?

    Too bad we can't get a 535d touring M-sport in Canada...

    haha.

    Interesting conclusion and surprised that McLaren didn't take the top honor.

    And for some strange reason, I now really want a 535D touring. Wonder if BMW paid Clarkson to have these bit in the video.

    If I remember, Clarkson wasn't too fond of the McLaren in the TG episode. He said it had no "soul" or something, and was too refined/easy to drive, lol.

    No one buys diesels or wagons unfortunately.

    That annoys me to no end. I love wagons (and don't even have kids). They're just handy for cargo, without the aggravatingly high center of gravity a SUV has.
