Its like talking for day-night...

Conclusion:Clarkson is loosing "it".
I also found it rather amusing that he hated the styling of the RX-8 because it was too "mad" (if I remember that episode correctly). However he loved the dynamics of the vehicle and even noted it was the best car he drove in 2004, save the tyres.

Perhaps he's alluding to the fact that some of the best sports coupes these days seem to miss the "style" sweet spot. Dunno, because I sold the RX-8 to order the BMW, and I quite like the styling of both. At least he didn't tell you to buy a TVR instead.
