Still great fun to watch.

Good that they make rangerover win. Maybe if clarkson had been kinder to Rover Group it might still exist along with other british car companies (not they really deserve it).

You can't really blame Clarkson for that. BMC/BL/Rover destroyed themselves by churning out nasty vehicles that nobody wanted and taking profits from models that sold (like the Rangie) to prop up other parts of the business. It damn near killed LR too - think about all the canned projects like the diesel V8. Because their profits were being used to fund loss-making vehicular disasters they were effectively fighting the Japanese 4x4 manufacturers with both hands tied. Clarkson and the rest of the motoring press merely pointed out that there were better cars for the money.
I'd love an SD1 Vitesse or a Jag XJS, but only after they'd been professionally restored to turn them into the cars their designers intended rather than the fault-ridden horrors the assembly lines produced!
