    British writers are the best; I love their dry wit. Great article.

    I agree. Plus James tends to give a proper review of a car no matter what car it is and it's power, got Clarkson in mind here I like Clarkson very much and i usually always agree with him but he doesn't seem to like anything with under at least 200hp. If only James was as good a driver as Jeremy.

    I would never use "Well James May likes it!" in an argument about a car...

    It's not an "arguement" it's mearly James May who i think is a very good journalist talking about a car that he likes. And i didn't use "Well" as if to say he's not important but it will do. I put the article in this section because i thought other people that like the car and even owners would like to know what a well establised British journalist has to say about a great car.

    Good read. I'd have to agree, the 612 is emerging as my favorite modern Ferrari. The other ones feel like they're "trying too hard".

    Great car. Great article. I just saw a 612 the other weekend and, man, these cars look so regal. They are very handsome machines.

    Jeremy Clarkson loved the 612, too. As far as I'm aware, the only member of the trio who hasn't made behind-the-wheel comments is Hammond. Maybe he can't see over the dash?

    there are great Top Gear and Fifth Gear reviews/episodes of the 612 on Youtube.

    Ya'll might have seen already but if not you'll find it quick with a search.

    I'm allowed to say it because I'm only 5'7".
