Here's a fun question, what do you think he will say about the new Camaro when he finally gets a turn behind the wheel of a production car?

Nonsense. The Brits have this thing where they hate to admit liking anything from a former colony, but if you really listen to him Clarkson does have a soft spot for some American heritage and taste. And he's done plenty of critical reviews of European hardware. The beautiful thing about Top Gear being BBC programming is that they are not beholden to corporate sponsors. They can (and do) bash everyone at will because it is very entertaining and enlightening. They're about as objective as it gets.
I'm confident Clarkson will love the Camaro. He gushed over the Vauxhaul VXR8, the British cousin to the G8, built on the Zeta platform, and the Camaro rides on an evolution of that platform. I'm sure he'll have something to gripe about, and he'll gripe in the most entertaining and insightful way possible.
