Haha Jeremy Clarkson wants to hate the Corvette, but with the ZR1 you'd have to be a total hater to not like the Corvette for the value and performance that it delivers...
Yes, I also saw that the Insignia got another top honer for some other award in Europe...

The Insignia already has car of the year and it's not even on general sale yet (deliveries are from Jan '09 I believe).
Clarkson LOVES the ZR1. How could he not?

He has a point there because the ZR1 is £109,000 here in the UK - at current rates that around $170,000 and for that money, it's not "the best". But it's kinda irrelevant given it's capabilities in that price range.

the Insignia is the best looking sedan I've seen in quite a while.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about a ZR1 when they cost $150K and you can twin turbo a C6 for MUCH less AND get 40MPG at the same time!

Factory. That, and this thing handles like a Z06 with the comfort of a true luxury-coupe. It lists for ~$103,000, not 150, and again, it came from the factory like this. EDIT: And the gtr couldn't beat it. |
