A lot of money was floating around, and its not like they had to import them from Japan 😁

Made me do a rewind to take another look!
Nissan R32 is great looking, its because of how simple the design is. Means the car never looks old and stays good looking to this day
Form fits function
@@deborahchesser7375 was talking about how simple designs age well but that is also true xD
I cannot argue with that! It’s one of the best timeless designs of all time..!
I guess what I was trying to say is, if it’s meant to go fast, it usually looks the part. I like to see vehicles evolve, but on the flip side of that coin, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Exactly!!
It’s weird to see Jeremy taking the job seriously. But still has his well known charm/humor
I know, right? When he was driving the Skyline I kept waiting for, "Powwwwer!"
It was deemed boring then. Now it’s proven itself as a timeless masterpiece.
No one called it boring except for butthurt britbongs being triggered because no one buys their trash cars since the 70s, as well as there being an island nation driving on the wrong side of the road, that loves tea and denies its warcrimes that makes cars superior to theirs in every way :D

Early 2000's to be precise.
So funny how Clarkson is ripping on the GTR’s design and now it looks so classic and killer.
So true !
I think it looks way too boring
@@jacopozenomoscardo1604 - I get what you’re saying, especially compared to a modern McLaren for instance, but I think it’s important to contextualize design in its time. I couldn’t decide if the weird orange car that had the round headlights was meant to show advanced or English design, but I thought it was hideous. I’d think many cars if the vintage of the R32 are pretty hideous and it seemed almost like “boring” was something to aspire to back then.
LOL No. He was actually right to knock it back then. And the new one (R-35) is hardly an improvement.
@@michaelmeliambro5117 - Really? People seem to hold the new GTR in pretty high regard, though I’ve yet to even ride in one. They are uncommon on the East coast. What’s your thinking? Is it build quality or design? The adulation you hear about it and that there are only four or whatever guys who make the engine and on and on would lead you to think it was something pretty special. What are your thoughts?
It’s jaw dropping to me to see a television and GPS and back up cameras in their cars like it’s nothing. Even in NA I’d say they’ve become normal (aside the TV part) but that’s really just very recently.
My father had a Toyota crown when I was a kid, and I really loved watching some movies on this little screen

No one ever realized that Clarkson has reviewed or driven every Skyline GTR from 32 to 35 except the 33 and he always says that the GTRs could compete with european supercars

@@michaelmeliambro5117 why?
@@michaelmeliambro5117 excuse you?
@@michaelmeliambro5117 found the muscle car fanboy
I understand why they called r32 ugly the reason is at that time they didn’t have too many cars with super busy and non symmetric design that’s why the whole car industry started to design weird freaky looking cars in 2000s and we still have them so now that we are in a time full of non sense large heavy non symmetric cars , we appreciate the simplicity and balance of that skyline gtr.
Some manufacturers started to realize this and now they are creating modern style classic designs like new 400z new Lamborghini Countach.
I agree. the r32 is a powerful beast, but put it next to a camaro and it just looks very dull. And with the thing right now im glad some manufacturers are starting to return to its roots in terms of design, the 400z like you said and the type S nsx.
Ah...the 90's. Take me back please.
Let's enjoy Jeremy while he's still alive. I promise you one day the day will come. And we'll wish we gave him his flowers.

its actually so sad to see how old hes getting
That's life my friend. We all get there eventually.
He does look pretty old nowadays but he always kinda looked old for his age to me. Maybe all the smoking caught up with him. He has all that energy and motivation to run his 450 acre farm though, always coming up with new projects so he seems to be doing well for his age.
Clarkson is looking better now than he has for the last twenty years. I think he's cut down drinking.
We are too

I'm just amazed that gezza interviewed the OJ DK drift king and thankful I got to watch this after all those years 🙏

Not just anyone with an A70 or R34 or whatever can just "experience midnight club". It was very exclusive and consisted of rich businessmen who were able to control their vehicles with great skill at high speeds for several minutes.

Miss this age :’(
I find it very interesting how well the R32 has aged. It has never looked pretty or exciting, but it is inoffensive enough to be timeless.
It was never a looker even during the time in which it came out. It's just overpriced now because of the JDM Tuner boom back in the 1990s-2000s.
@@philithegamer8265 As I said, it is an inoffensive and timeless design. I didn’t call it beautiful, even though I rather like it. A very well engineered car as well. Overpriced? Maybe. Overhyped? Most likely. A good car? Definitely!

So funny that they interviewed a yakuza gang members 🤣
the iconic dragonfly closeup from the 90s. classic.
"Japanese designers put their priorities on effectiveness, thus forgetting about having beautiful designs" seems they forget about the Z32
Honestly it's just British bashing on the Japanese brand as for whatever reason the UK just isn't as into Japanese cars as say the US is. In 1995 You had the Supra, RX7, Z32, S14, NSX, Celica GT-Four, MR2, Mitsu GTO, Mitsu FTO, I mean the list goes on, that's just a few of the brands. I mean they even had a bit on a monk who has a classic Bentley who talks about how he likes unreliable cars.

@@mrkazman this is true

@@mrkazman I don't know why some brits like him talk bash about Japanese cars , look at the British brands Land rover it's crap (it still stands because of the Chinese and Indian investors and some rich customers who replace their SUV every 2 yrs) , Aston Martin ( it's still alive thanks to ford) ,MG (they always made crap and it's chinese owned now) , Rover and Triumph (were always unreliable) , Jensen ( death trap makers) , British leyland cars ( rustbuckets on wheels with many mechanical problems) , TVR (some cars were decent but the worst models ever built were from the 70s-80s , the only good company it's Lotus thanks to Toyota & Yamaha engineering and quality assembly , the only brit influence it's the design the rest it's a forged katana built to last .

Clarksons permed mullet needs is own hall of fame!
14:55 - it's sort of fun that back in 1995 Clarkson was criticising Japan's ability to design aesthetically pleasing cars - I look back at the nineties now, and of the cars released that decade that I still find beautiful to this day, I think almost every single one of them is Japanese. Eg. the Mark IV Supra, RX-7, S2000, etc.
The style language the Japanese were using in their car design in the nineties was exquisite: soft lines and curves, compact, beautiful silhouettes, perfectly proportioned and minimalist; no fussy details. The Skyline is an exception really, because it's so boxy and conventional looking...yet it still has a certain something that other western cars of a similar silhouette didn't have. A kind of aggressiveness, and sleekness.
It's a shame that the new, 21st century revamps of Japanese icons have tended to be either dull or hideous.
The skylines design was purely for being a racecar. They had to make a road car for homalogation
@@matthewtrent32 Still better than being an all show no go shitbox like the DMC DeLorean.
Evo, eclipse, supra and skyline are timeless classics now
