Since I got my ZS I've been checking out youtube for some official test drives from back when it was launched. All I could find was mgzeds part1 to 7 and I appreciated that Tiff confirmed my opinion that ZS was the best in the range. But sure was disappointed it was not compared to any other "driver's cars" of the time. Don't think it was so unique not to be compared with anything on the market for sure, nor I think it was the worst. Maybe some of you guys remember or have any links how it was marketed/tested for audience back then.
Another thing, as many of my friends and myself love "Top gear" for it's humor, apart from their unprofessional but still sufficient road/track tests, tell me one thing: How come they have chosen to mock the ZT V8 (which me also thinks it was rubbish but only because of it's rwd and not too many horses) by the fat guy Clarkson and not chosen to praise some better one such as ZS 180? Is it just being theatrical in rwd powersliding and not reaching fast times on the track or what?
Are they not allowed to praise any of the British fine motors directly - not even newer Aston's, Jags (I know for one thing that Jamie Langton loved the ZS) or is it just their sense of humor making other cars rubbish (German, French, American, etc) and at the end of the show saying that for example Range Rover is the worst car in the world, but at the same time the best car in the world (better than BMW X6 for one thing...)?! What do you think is the point there?
Sorry for the long post, but I hope it makes sense to you local guys...
Do have a nice motoring day
