Wärend ich darauf warte dass meine GTV6 endlich aus der Werkstatt zurück kommt, wo ihr neben ein paar Lackarbeiten und den Milano Felgen noch ein neuer Hauptbremszylinder und ein neuer Kupplungszylinder eingesetzt wurden, habe ich ein bischen im Netz gestöbert und einen typisches Jeremy Clarkson Statement zur GTV6 gefunden:
"Take the old GTV6 as a prime example. I owned one once and it was a nightmare. The worst car I’ve owned. Deeply uncomfortable, spectacularly impractical and blessed with steering so heavy that navigating into a London parking space was like navigating a donkey into a budgie cage.
Then there was the complete lack of quality. Nothing worked. And when you got one thing fixed something else would break on the way home. Once it tried to murder me. The linkage from the gearlever to the rear-mounted gearbox fell off and jammed the prop shaft, causing a sound not heard on earth since Krakatoa blew up, and the rear wheels to lock.
But behind the oyster-like impregnability of its ergonomics and hidden in the sea of snot were two perfect pearls. The styling. And the howl from its V6 engine. In a tunnel, at 4000rpm, it was more sonorous than any music. It was like having your soul licked by angels."
