Your reading habits on Top Gear's shabby corner of the Web have provided fuel for a debate that has raged across the centuries. It's also stumped our understanding of an ‘Internet'. Unbeknownst to you, TopGear.commer, you are an ‘incompatibilist'; you believe in free will.
Such metaphysical japery does not normally find space on these rusty, fuel-injected pages, but there could be no other explanation for our stats. Why, in a year when we've driven the Ferrari 458 Spider and Mercedes SLS roadster and Range Rover Evoque, did you prefer to read a road test on the new Chrysler 300C?
Free will. That, or our Internet's knackered. And it's definitely not the latter. Definitely. Have a click through and see which reviews caressed your car parts in 2011. There's even a diesel. A diesel. We've driven a ruddy 660bhp Ferrari for goodness sake...

"...take off your driving gloves and fireproof jumpsuit, and the big exec is totally different. It retains the brutish, old-school mafia-esque looks of the old 300C, gets a massively improved interior, and the ride is lovely. Seriously..."
Jaguar XF 2.2 diesel
"On the road, the XF has mucho whoosh over a nice wide torque spread, and plenty of refinement nearly all the time. And as the engine is a bag of cement lighter than the V6, it's even better in sharp corners..."

"It's chuffing excellent. There you go Top Gear-heads, an instant, internet-friendly verdict on the new BMW M5. Go spread the news far and wide..."
Audi RS3
"Irresistible force, meet immovable object. Just get your foot down out of a bend. Sooner. Sooner again. It catapults away from slow corners, wet corners, whatever. Nothing's going to stand in its way..."
Caterham 7 Supersport
"...when you wind the Supersport out to 7000rpm and drink in the noise and the wasps and the stupefying, mass-free acceleration, all of the hassle and bucking and unbuckling and footwear expense required to get there becomes irrelevant. This is driving distilled: one hundred per cent proof..."
Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series
"With no turbos to get in the way of the noise, the Coupe Black Series announces its arrival with a ragged V8 fanfare. You really could bottle and sell the snarling noise it makes..."

"The whole car feels a lot sharper, though. The steering is so much more direct that the old car's is vague in comparison, and with the Sport button pressed, throttle response is ace. It needs driving hard to get the most from it..."
Vauxhall VXR8 GTS
"You know how the Nissan GT-R has a screen showing everything from turbo temperature to throttle angle? Well, this is the Aussie answer. There are various displays to flick through, but I come to a rest on the one that shows angles of oversteer and understeer. Hell, yeah..."

"The overwhelming reason to buy the Evora is still the way it drives, because in that, it takes the Cayman to the cleaners..."
Porsche 911 Carrera S
