[@standardaussie]

Actually shifting by pulling back makes sense, if you really need to get to the shift quick its usually cause your redlining and you need to avoid detonation. In this case you will be getting pulled back, if the car is any good quite hard. So to use that pull action rather than fight it to push something forward makes heaps of sense. Military vehicles of some sort do the same, i cant remember which so not going to specify.

[@AymanTravelTransport]

"Cheap and simple" looks like Clarkson took sarcasm to a whole new level!

[@DBGMLV]

The shifter is perfectly fine. In a rally car you pull the shifter to change up (you are accelerating, so your body gets pushed backwards and it is easier to pull the shifter) and you push it away to change down (you are breaking, so your body is pushed forward and it is easier to push the shifter away).

[@kroneyt1493]

The problems he outlined here are still prevalent in newer X6's and most modern SUV's too. Terrible visibility, little to no superior storage space over a station wagon or a hatchback, and sometimes even worse off-roading or in snow than a regular sedan or coupe that's lighter and more agile than something this big and needlessly bulky which is more prone to getting stuck in mud or snow, size and weight also contributing to higher emissions, worse fuel economy, the car being slower, and since it's an SUV it's also got a higher center of gravity which means that you're actually in more danger when you're hit by somebody because you're more prone to rolling over, and because you're taller, the likelihood is that if you DO roll over, you're gonna get more hurt. Simply put, if you want a cheap car, get an economy car. A Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic are nice, reliable ways to go. If you want a practical car, get a pickup truck. Toyota Tacoma if you want a mid-size truck, or a Ford F150 if you want a full size one - something with a good bed weight and towing capacity. If you want a fast car, get a sports car. I personally would recommend a Subaru WRX or a Chevrolet Camaro, but there are many more out there that are also very nice. If you want a luxury focused car, get a luxury car! Volvo and Lexus make very nice luxury cars, Lincoln USED to but now they're dropping all of their sedans for SUV's which... doesn't solve anything. SUV's add nothing to the table. They're not even a jack of all trades since they're good at pretty much nothing. Stop buying them.

@@gtigaming3059 that generation of x6 was pretty shit for reliability iirc

[@nOtJack1886]

If you're wondering, they actually filmed this segment over the course of the series, they visited each of these countries in different eps, then just edited it together lol clever

[@Jeebus86]

Shift lever is right actually, like in a race car. Paddles on the steering wheel are also right, for easy one handed cruising on the autobahn

[@khreon27]

7:22 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH the transition

[@after_midnight9592]

The button mashing at 2:18 :)

[@bowlofarthritus713]

kinda reminds me of the new shelby f150 that came out this year. Unbelievable horsepower and torque in a pick up, and it is 4 wheel drive. But with so much power, I cant imagine the tires gripping the terrain well since the tires would be spinning so fast

[@Marvelous0071]

Heartbreaking I liked the look of the X6 and use to want one.... Thanks for the review TG

[@shaanjanoo]

The Comment on this video: 90% about Jeremy traveling the whole world 10% about Jeremy traveling the whole world Good job Top Gear🙌🏽

[@billbotsh6643]

WTF Man! Jeremy is AWESOME! I just wish he would do more in NZ...

[@samtaylor9238]

James May in the next scene to Jeremy “You’re an apocalyptic dingleberry”😂😂

[@WBizarre]

4:22 you can see the traction electronics are actually doing their job really well. All 4 tires are spinning at the same time, it's just the sporty road tires holding it back.

[@Kwippy]

We all love old Top Gear for its comedic escapades but sometimes we for get that it is also a pretty damn good car review show.

[@motoNudziarz]

sequential mode pattern is taken from racing cars- when you're braking it's easier to push lever, and when accelerating it's easier to pull it. Take a look for onboards from GT1 or GT2 series for example

[@Utubesuperstar]

Same with rally and rally cross cars

[@animeco3297]

This design has to be one of the most popular suv designs now. Mercedes ripped it off with the GLE and GLCS. BMW still uses it and uses it on other variants too not only the X6. Its crazy succesful imo

[@mightymemes_]

"see that Skyscraper, the one Batman jumped off? " haha

[@DonLee1980]

A friend of mine bought 2 X6's. this version and then its replacement. Such a huge car and he says he can't really fit more than 4 people. and certainly not much of anything, yet he bought 2 of them. Because it looked profound...

[@thomasb.5645]

the fact that nobody understood the sense of the clip blows me up....of course Jeremy went all over the world to do stupid tests. The clip is understandable now because everybody buys unnecessairly big coupe suv and THAT is the message the review wants to send. Nobody needs a coupe SUV so they made a clip where Jeremy made unnecessary tests...it is the best metaphore/parallelism. Throwback where Top Gear was totally ahead of its time

[@Namaki56]

1) The rang-rover on that hill (4:12) had a momentum that's why it could easily go over that hill, but the X6 had not and the video clearly shows the X6 starts on the hill. Look at tire tracks on grass. 2) what kind of tires you had on that X6 compared to Rang rover?

[@hanif12able]

but still id rather go with range rover,if you want to buy off road car, buy off road car. if you want to buy sports car, buy sports car. not combining them into 1 car because the result won't be satisfying

[@StevenRoil]

The whole point is showing how the vehicle comes equipped. The X6 comes with those fat tires, this is all part of what hes trying to say.

[@bilalahmed2123]

A bit biased ! The Range Rovers are also very unreliable and have a market value of a half eaten hamburger !

[@hanif12able]

Bilal Ahmed jeremy has the same point as me. he didnt actually compare range rover vs x6. did you read my previous comment? thats what he wanted to show us. in case of luxury off-road car, of course I wouldnt buy the range rover, I'd rather buy toyota land cruiser

[@MasterSoundHR]

of course british car is better for Jeremy :D looks like a brick machined with a sledge hammer. my opinion, no hard feelings.

[@stefandsc1028]

2021 - compared to the subsequent X6 released on the market, this generation was the best looking one. it's just nice to look at.

[@tylerwunderlich9594]

This video is the perfect introduction to Jeremy Clarkson.

[@laulkid]

The budget for this review must be off the charts

[@geekos1]

Clarkson loved the M3 (and probably some other BMW models) so he's definitely not a BMW hater (although a Merc lover). If he thinks a car is absolute crap he'll have his reasons for that and it seems to me he has some pretty good reasons to think this X6 is just that.

[@cedricingendorn7853]

and it still went on and sold very well in the years coming

[@bilbongbi6297]

this is best one cheap and simple film i hope they come back to TOP GEAR AGAIN

[@dodoz44]

Jeremy is a cool guy. He tests cars and doesn't afraid of anything.

[@janschapers1417]

They came to my island, Mallorca

[@goodwinbenkele6344]

jeremy literally reviews and gives solid descriptions on cars like no other host to feature the show

[@georgfranko]

Pull for upshift and push for downshift is how sequential Gearboxes work , and it’s the only way I feel comfortable using it . It’s a plus for me :)

[@BorisTerekidi]

Even though it's a pretty stupid car, it actually sold pretty well. I see them in Toronto very often.

[@MegaJoojee]

well now wonder it wont move on snow if it has summer tires...

[@Shaffye]

This video is beyond description, absolutely majestic at least

[@julienduchamp4275]

« All the clowns in the laptop department” 😂😂😂that made me laugh every time 😂😂

[@KeroChuK]

What a colossal dingleberry lol

[@813Productions]

Lmao he went to Australia just for the glovebox bit and did this entire segment to travel the world and get a free Caribbean vacation out of it 😂😂😂

[@w.m.aslam-author]

A fashion accessory of a car. It will be a huge success!

[@davidriley9194]

1:50 I just ease the temperature up and “loses map” THE SCWEENS GONE!! I DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO BECAUSE THIS IS… WHY YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT!!!!? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
