There is a strong vein of mechanics in Leno's blood and you can see that with the overall package he is constructed via the website, albeit done by NBC (and for that reason advertorial), but its a great outlet for the masses where he talks history, the package and the test drive through a barren and dull environment.I'm afraid that I was rather disappointed with this piece, especially given Jay Leno's reputation.
For me it came across as an "advertorial" - like one of those awful reviews you see in a free newspaper where the producer of the product in question has clearly paid to have his produict reviewed.
I also agree with Maxi about the engineer. He looked like a stooge to me: "Hey, find me an American who I can say designed this car - we don't wanna say some Eytalian made it!"
Frankly I gave up after a few minutes.
Problem is we have got used to excellent reviews in UK, Top Gear being the big daddy (I heard 1billion viewers mentioned somewhere), however I cringe when TG destroy a new car with words, but you know what the industry knows if they send a car for review then they must pay the price.
Back to Leno, a good site that needs patience to watch whilst sipping a dull beer like Miller lite
