""Why would you want a Mexican car? Because cars reflect national characteristics don't they?," said Hammond as they discussed the Mexican sports car,
the Mastretta.
"Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a
hole in the middle on as a coat."
The trio then described Mexican food as "refried sick" before suggesting Mexicans spent all day asleep.
"That's why we won't get any complaints about this because at the Mexican embassy the ambassador's going to be sitting there with a remote control
like this," said Clarkson, pretending to slump in a chair, snoring."

Yeah....it's not very nice, but without being familar with the show, I'll bet these guys are never very nice.
Knowing this, why does the Mexican ambassador watch it and demand they on the show be something they're not? You know...nice.astrobaja - 2-2-2011 at 09:29 AM
Thats true Dennis, the boys from topgear are equally offensive to Americans, the French, Germans and of course the Brits!
Its a awesome show, but give the US version a miss, the British one is much funnier!Woooosh - 2-2-2011 at 10:27 AM
It was very funny humor. They do take on everyone on that show though and it could have been worse. They played up the lazy, manana Mexican
stereotype- we all know they could have go the other way and joked about the car not being armored for bullets and such.
Wait...
