Top Gear/Tropes N-Z: Difference between revisions

* [[Rock Star Parking]]: At the end of their epic races. The presenters may have to fight traffic getting to the hotel, but they can always pull up right at the door. Averted when May and Clarkson were doing challenges in their luxury limousines. They were ordered to drive into the center of London and park. They failed.

* [[Romanticism Versus Enlightenment]]: Some of the presenters and episodes embody this. For example Jeremy is mostly Romantic with some Enlightenment moments where as you could argue that James is the opposite. Richard is more Romantic arguably.

*** Jeremy did a similar review/comparison between the Audi R8 and Corvette [[ZR 1]]. Even though he considered the R8 to be better practically and in some areas of performance, he said the [[ZR 1]] was still better saying "you would have to be a lunatic to own one, and that is exactly why you should."

** Certain cars or brands could qualify. For example most Italian cars, Alfa Romeo for a specific example, are considered artsy, soulful, and full of passion. Some other cars also qualify, including some American cars, which can sometimes be considered cheap or bad, but certain cars from there are spectacular in terms of fun, including the Corvette [[ZR 1]], or the mustang which was not considered to be spectacular but "there was something about it" which made it "borderline sub-zero" on the show's "Cool Wall".
