i dont think i am alone on this one, but i think 5th gear sometimes makes up some really rediculous comparison tests. 135i vs base cayman? most comparison test are cayman vs z coupe and the cayman s vs z4 m coupe. some examples of crazy tests: Lamborghini Gallardo vs Duccati 999, mclaren f1 vs enzo on the street (comparing what? comfort? stereo system?) not to mention the average joe test drivers, made up test standards, and commentating while trying to set a hot lap, cross platform comparisons, i can go on for days
5th gear pretty much makes anyone look like an expert. wouldnt take anything on the show seriously especially when one of their "trade mark" tests is a drift contest.
not that i mind seeing cars burn some rubber, but not for comparison's sake
