The Malaise era is where it can't get any further than that question. All it took was an oil crisis to make the American carmakers very desperate towards attention as the Japanese tinkered into the scene with well-built, reliable, and very dependable economy barges.

Well, we did have a 4th; AMC. They, however, were absorbed into Chrysler in the late 80's.
It took us DECADES to recover from the gas crunch. The Japanese cleaned the floor with us in the 80s, and our recovery in the 90s was completely overshadowed by the rise of JDM tuner culture. 9/11 turned all the money towards military production, and just when we were finding our footing again in 2008, the economy imploded. GM sold its soul to the feds, Chrysler was flogged off to the Italians, and Ford survived by sacrificing Mercury and its entire styling department.

While I guess I’m not the only one
The line delivery of "it's a big-- massive, in fact, ugly daft thing... (why)" at 10:58 made me actually chuckle. The sinking feeling of disappointment from our favorite secret American.
How does a 3.8 litre V6 engine give you 200 bhp?! You can get a vacuum cleaner with 200 bhp!!
I now want either a company somewhere to make a Hoover with over 1,000HP... or for Jezza to do a V8 Hoover :D .
When anymore power out of the engine would violate smog regulations.
@@RandomCarGuy17 let me remind you of the 800 hp demon. That doesn't violate smog regulations? Make smaller engines for crying out loud. You know, like the rest of the world.
@@sasl6987 That Demon has more modern technology used to make the engine qualify for our regulations while keeping it at 800hp. That and the car was built for something completely different from what the Buick LaSabre is used for, just to be sort-of comfy car built for being driven around versus the Demon being used to set fast 1/4 times at a drag strip.
There's also actually a benefit to why we have detuned, bigger engines versus just extracting power out of smaller engines. It sometimes can be more reliable to go with a bigger engine not using all of its power. That's part of why Ford Crown Victorias could last so long, they use less powerful modular engines.
EDIT: I looked it up. When extracting more power out of a smaller engine, you're typically increasing the compression and putting more stress out of that engine. Versus just using a bigger engine to make the same power, which won't have to work as hard, thus lasting longer. It's also cheaper in terms of engineering cost to use the bigger engine.
@@RandomCarGuy17 I (opinionatedly, not factually) call BS on reliability for engines. They’re bigger because we love down-low torque. We would switch to small engines if we weren’t so enamored with 400lbft of torque at idle and nothing else. That, and also a way higher production of towing-capable vehicles here make that almost a necessity.
That being said, you’re right.
Buick 3.8L V6: produces 200HP

The claims about American cars and cornering is very true, around a year ago I was driving along in my iconic classic British car, and behind me came up fast a classic American car, we hit a roundabout, and I left it behind.
My car was a reliant robin.
"Shiversomely" - Thanks Jezza, I've learnt a new word.
As much as I could be mad about this, Clarkson speaks the truth. Its sad but true.
The thing about the Starion, actually in japanese there is no "L" sound. So for japanese saying (or spelling in japanese) foreign words that have an L sound, they use an R sound instead. So Stallion in japanese would be スタリオン (Sutarion).
So what Clarkson said there about it being a translation error could actually be true.
So the stereotype "prease" Instead of please is true..
I heard about that translation error from a Mitsubishi dealer back in the early 90's
@@V-C137 Of course it is. Stereotypes are usually true.
@@V-C137 It wouldn't really be "prease" though, it would be "purisu" to fit into Japanese orthography. All Japanese words have a, i, u, e or o as their base, and then they build off of that (ka ki ku ke ko, na ni nu ne no, pa pi pu pe po etc.). These are the only sounds that exist naturally
4:31 NO need for the "oooohs" from the audience. As an American, Clarkson's 100% right!
Yes
Also, how do you not know the capital of France?!
Aye. Not *wanting* to know much about the capital of France... that's understandable XD
(seriously; that city as a dark as flak history)
As an American who grew up with the education we are given, I don’t know why we don’t know what the capital of France is. Hell I don’t even know either lol. I need to move out.

These are actually pretty funny. Although for as much as it rains over there, you'd think British cars would not leak water and be able to start in the rain.
Strangely though as an example New York city gets over twice the amount of rain as London, in terms of actual volume the UK is pretty dry compared to a lot of countries. Nationally there is only 3 inches difference in total annual precipitation between the UK and USA (inc Alaska & Hawaii).
@@scoops0406 Yeah. Depends how you cut it. NY will rain about 100 days a year where UK can rain 160 days a year. My examples were strictly based on the 1980s Jags and range rovers I have had. Im sure they have gotten better now that they are run by an Indian company.
@@bruth6138 Love how you are basing it on the cars known for diabolic reliability and rust resistance.
I love Jags but they really are dog shit and Fords influence wont have made things any better.
@@bruth6138 Well all cars in the 80's were crap, Jaguar were no exception, mind you they became crap again when they were owned by Ford.
@@sahhull My 17 YO one has never broken down and is rust free, and I live by the coast. The gearbox is crap though as its a Ford auto box, truly horrible.
American cars made between 1976 and the early 1990s suffered from a huge horsepower problem:
They were required to be equipped with a catalytic converter.
Catalytic converter technology at the time was basically like stopping up your tailpipe with a giant cork.
The issue wasn't emissions, it was the way we handled it. Decreasing compression ratios, increasing quench, choking the heads, and an even more unnecessary obsession with swirl ports, along side a few other poor engineering practices, are what made it horrible. Check the value of 1990 Jaguar catalytic converters (pre and post) and hp/cid, vs a 1990 anything American with the same values.
@@Sams88990i wasnt around back then but those were some sad times. But hell, when i was born, the cars we produced still weren't exactly setting the woods on fire.
Except that theory doesn't work.
Cars in the UK where I live ALSO have catalytic converters, to this day.
My BMW Diesel from 2017 has an EGR and a DPF, essentially taking exhaust gases expelled from the engine BACK into the engine to be burned off again to lower emissions, in turn this clogs up the intake manifold and causes carbon build up in the engine intake ports....
Yet the germans still managed to get 313 bhp from that 3 litre straight six car that I have, and it does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and has all wheel drive - AND it's a big "sedan" car... not some little pocket rocket.

That bit of Clarkson driving the Ford GTX is impressive; I've never seen it before and you can't find it anywhere.
5:10 It should read:
1) English
2) English (Simplified)
...
Actually, American english is the original pronunciation of english. The brits adopted their iconic accents to sound more sophisticated in the 1800s, thus Americans preserved the original pronunciation. (Though some cultures did go in new directions with it, such as ebonics or the classic southern drawl)
@@boogaloobender3462 You might be referring to the Irish accent, which is closer to American than British in terms of pronounciation. At the end of the day English is a subgroup of the West Germanic languages, so in essence they're all speaking German (😉😁). Interesting point though. The written language has certainly been simplified (and in some cases made more logic) in the US.
10:44 We do have roads like that but the people with cars like that don't live anywhere near them.
10:02 HES EVERY SOUTHERN TEENAGER WITH THEIR SQUATTED/STUPIDLY LIFTED TRUCK
I have heard that the lack of horsepower comes all the way from the Muscle car era.
If my memory is correct, there was this weight-to-power ratio, according to which it shouldn't be less than 10:1 - 1 hp per 10 pounds.
Hence, if a car is 3500 pounds, the power shouldn't exceed 350 horsepower.
It's more that US cars are built for low end torque and don't spin nearly as fast as small European over square engines. Since HP = (torque x RPM)/5,252 the peak horsepower on a lower revving engine will be lower even if the peak torque is the same or higher. For instance the Cummins 6.7 standard output in the Ram HD makes 850 lb ft/1,156 nm but only makes 370 hp.
For GCSE (which is british) you have to take history OR geography or both. I doubt the americans didnt know what geography was or what europe was as they thought austria was next to Scotland and autralia was in Europe
Malta is in Europe but i dont think it has any borders with Scotland XD

9:57 IQ Reducer
As a New Zealand raised now USA dweller I am amused that Brits who made such wonders as Austin, Morris, Vauxhall, Anglia, Rover, Humber, Singer, the Reliant Robin, the original Mini all horrendous, unreliable, crap handling, uncomfortable, poorly built ,Stone Age cars with all the go of a poorly tuned lawn mower have the gall to accuse Americans of being unable to make cars.
There is a reason why all mainstream UK car manufacture is in foreign owned factories, the brits really can’t make cars. Give any sane person a choice btw my wife’s 1965 Buick Wildcat and any mainstream British car from 1950 to the present, I know what the majority choice would be.
My mom’s brand new Range Rover discovery can’t go more than 3 months without being in the repair shop.
Nah... what bollox, A Mini Cooper S would leave that Buick Wild Crap for dead on a twisty road....
I’m pretty sure a poorly tuned lawnmower would beat a lumbering Buick Wildcat in any drag race. I think I could beat one walking
But you're comparing the USA which is a huge country and is supposedly so "technically advanced" to the tiny nation of the UK...
If you compare Europe to the USA which is actually a more appropriate comparison then it's shameful towards America.... it gets even worse... when you look at just how many Japanese and Korean cars are SOLD in America, who actually still has plenty of it's own manufacturers i'd say your problem is far worse.
Britain to my knowledge only has Vauxhall as the remaining "British car maker"... although there's a European equivalent called "Opel" and I don't know if Vauxhall is actually even fully British owned anymore. There's still plenty of Vauxhalls on the roads in the UK and it's actually quite a common, cheap and reliable car.
They're a pain in the ass to work on for mechanics but they generally work well, and last, most british police forces use Vauxhall cars, and they wouldn't use something in vast quantities if it was unreliable would they?
When you compare the number of Vauxhall's driven in the UK as a percentage of total cars compared to the number of American cars driven in the US, the figures probably aren't too different.
America has loads of home grown car makers and yet many people still choose foreign brands such as Kia, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW etc.
Meanwhile the UK only has Vauxhall left and there's still plenty of Vauxhalls on the road in the UK, it's quite a common car.
I like how they only go to the worst parts, which is la, lv, and the south
Of course, they can't make fun of the Midwest because we actually have good cheese and roads like in england.

Also in Las Vegas at night, where everyone of them was probably half drunk.
Are you ACTUALLY trying to excuse the ignorance of these Americans by claiming the city they live in is too large to have proper education?! Man, and I thought I had seen it all when it comes to stupidity

Very few people from the UK resettle in the U.S. This is from observation:
- assessing the immigrants in the university I attended for undergrad and post graduate school (Indians, Chinese, Iranians, Taiwanese, a few other middle eastern countries)
- the immigrants I worked with in Silicon Valley high tech (Indians, Chinese, Iranians, Taiwanese, people from Hong Kong, some Japanese, a few people from Turkey, Germany, one from France)
I met a couple of people from England last week, in the U.S. on vacation, and asked them if they'd ever heard of the town called "Hethel" in Norwich, Norfolk.
"No, we're not familiar with that town."
It's the home base of Lotus. I've been purchasing Lotus sports cars, new, from dealers here in the U.S., since 1996.
I had a plumber who did some work at one of our rental units 3 weeks ago. "Are you from England?" "Yes" "Have you ever heard of Hethel?" "No"
He apparently met a U.S. gal while on vacation and relocated to the U.S.
I've met, worked with, attended University with, hundreds of immigrants. Very few from the UK.
Sort of wondering if many U.S. residents relocate to the UK.
Every person from the UK I have encountered since buying my first Lotus Esprit S4s in 1996, which admittedly has been fewer than 10 people, I've asked if they'd heard of Hethel. No one had heard of Hethel. I found that shocking, due to the Formula One impact of Colin Chapman. He brought "ground effects" to Formula One and many other important innovations. Also, England is the brain trust of F1, and most of the F1 constructors are based there.
.
Asking people the name of a town is a lot different than asking the name of a more well known city
What makes you think everyone would know about a tiny town which has a relevance to F1?
It would be like asking people "Where was Eastenders filmed"?
"Where was Emmerdale set?"
"How about Heartbeat"?
Some people might know it but the average person won't.
At work a few months back, I went to a house in the UK that an American couple had moved into, the chap thought it was "wrong" that his wife wasn't allowed to carry pepper spray around with her and then proceeded to claim that in the UK you "Can't defend yourself" which is very incorrect.
They were reporting a road rage incident whereby another person had used some nasty language towards one of them, who was in the car on their own at the time... however one of the persons who was in the car on their own at the time had video recorded and taken photos when behind the car in question whilst driving, and didn't think anything of admitting or telling me that (I think you can guess my job).
When I pointed out that they may ALSO be prosecuted for it they sighed.... if you're going to move to another country it might help to learn the local laws. To get annoyed that you can't video record or use your phone whilst you're driving a car (save for an emergency), and to think you can't defend yourself and that it's ridiculous you can't carry pepper spray questions why you even moved to the UK in the first place.
It would be like me having major issues with the US gun culture as I do, and then moving my entire family there as they did when they relocated to the UK.
