New STI featured in Clarkson's Column

[Memphis Raines]

In my opinion, I'm beginning to think that Clarkson is getting too old for his job. It could also be that he has seen too cars in his lifetime that he has forgotten to appreciate even some minor advances in design.

I used to look forward to his reviews a few years back, when he somehow still made sense, being objective on the review and not ranting about what he personally believes is the "right way to make a car".

When he test drove an Evo 8 around 2 years back he said that he was amazed about how the little devil can powerslide with the driver using only one finger on the wheel yet he just can't get over the thought that its clutch is hopeless because he always stalls it at first gear.

He stalls it at first gear

Yet an 18 year old boy racer in sneakers can gun that baby off the line effortlessly.
