Anyone know where this quote comes from?

Post by dstocks »

Found a reference to a quote and was wondering if anyone recognised where it may have come from:
"I'd always wondered why someone would pay 30k for a Mitsubishi FTO MIVEC V6 - especially when they can buy something like a twin turbo Zed for similar money. And those automatic FTOs? What a mishmash of pretences they must be - or, at least, that's what I'd figured... However, not long after picking up one of these Japanese-imported beasties, I had changed my opinion of them q-u-i-t-e a bit. Forget any ideas that this is merely a high-fashion boulevard cruiser - the Mitsubishi FTO MIVEC V6 is a 100% self-indulgent sportscar." - Jeremy Clarkson

      A TV show I presume? I wonder why people attribute these quotes to people they don't come from.

      Did Clarkson actually road test the FTO? Or was it the lady in the pre-clarkson days?

      Don't think Clarkson ever reviewed the fto, but he did review the gto and he was impressed :)

      Having viewed the video again meanwhile, I have memories of a much different video featuring the pre-fc and her saying overall she did not like the car...
