Chris Harris is a LEGEND



The best automotive video I've seen in a LONG time.

I was about to say that Chris Harris should get more recognition among the wider public, but then I thought that no. He needs to stay like this. And the only way for him to remain like this, is for work to only be seen by true car junkies.

Chris Harris is hands down the best car journalist out there. Clarkson is entertaining, but not that good when it comes to realistic judgment. Tiff is awesome too.

I love how he drives any car with such enthusiasm, like he has never driven a supercar before. Makes it that much more special for the viewer. Plus he's a talented driver.

There is no doubt Chris Harris is amazing but I don't think he can be compared to a legend like Jeremy Clarkson. Personally, I can relate to Jeremy Clarkson so much. He loves cars that are beastly and wild such as AMG and he is basically a little boy in a mans body. Which is what all of us are deep down. He also always speaks his mind and is not fearful of stating his opinion, especially on tv.

Clarkson is a legend in his own right for sure. Don't get me wrong, I love that his talk is "raw", but sometimes it is just too much/fake. I am sure he was better 10 years ago, or even right now, his press column must be of better quality than what he says on the radio. His opinion is too single minded imo. Whereas someone like Chris, really explains the car with such passion. Goes into details, and knows more than "HORSEPOWERRRR".

Don't get me wrong, I love Clarkson, but he is more of an entertainer than car journalist as of today.
