Throughout his decades-long career on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson has been known for his controversial opinions. Now, he has offered a kind of summation.
Regarding modern cars being "all crap now," Clarkson made these remarks during a party while watching the latest episode of The Grand Tour, where he answered questions from viewers. The former Top Gear host also mentioned that he struggles to identify 80%-90% of the cars currently being sold. While it’s clear that Jeremy Clarkson is exaggerating, his point is well understood.
“I don’t know what it is. I don’t care. ‘We’ve got a new hybrid driveline’—I just couldn't care less.”
Clarkson reminisced about the Lancia Montecarlo as an example of how remarkable cars once were. He shared the journey he’s had with his Montecarlo up to now.
“It’s amazing when you drive such an old car—how much better they are than modern cars because they are light. It’s truly an epic thing to drive.”
The famous host made a humorous and clumsy analogy: it’s like driving a ballet dancer, whatever that may mean. It remains a mystery what exactly was in Jeremy's mind at that moment.
Clarkson is not alone in these thoughts; many internet users express similar sentiments. Modern cars seem too technological, complicated, and frankly too heavy to many. However, some technologies do improve the driving experience and are also safer.
Jeremy Clarkson expressed hope that Amazon would replace him, James May, and Richard Hammond with fresh faces rather than celebrities, as the BBC attempted with Top Gear. He believes the channel should find “young kids” who genuinely understand modern cars.
