When Stewart Lee says something like 'Clarkson sits down every week and works out what outrageous opinion he's going to pretend he holds before his column deadline, for money'. He nails it really. So much of an act, but he is a good journalist.
Give him 10 minutes to review a new car and he'd come up with a good summary, a pithy headline and a joke. Many Youtubers won't have got past the press release 'design language' in that time.

The skoda octavia is the modern do-it-all street furniture vehicle like a cortina or Sierra was as a kid .

Volvos ain't all that😂

Yeah they soldiered on for years with PD TDIs and even non-turbo SDIs almost exclusively for taxi use.
RE what happened next, obviously more boostage but maybe also some stickers and rustoleum green for a quality* homage to one of these rally weapons?

2009! I'm guessing these were only sold for use as taxis by that point?
