Their car looked more like the Sky than the Solstice.

Clarkson's favorite roadster is hands-down the S2000. As far as Vauxhall goes, he's been giving them quite the praise lately. He hates the 350Z.

As far as roadsters go, he's a firm believer in "the best roadsters are ones that were designed to be roadsters from the beginning," and the Solstice does fill that qualification. If there was a Top Gear segment on the Solstice, I KNOW he would rip it apart for lackluster performance and interior quality. He'd probably really like the handling (maybe a mention on the understeer), and he'd praise the looks highly... as well as the price... but he'd rip options apart. He may mention something about the trunk (or boot), but he won't harp on that because all his favorite cars don't have boots.
