New top gear Chris Harris in an Alfa Giulia

Cool review that just came up with top gear pretty much continuing on with what Chris Harris used to do.

 

Such an over-rated driver.
Just good at drifting and powersliding for his spectacular shows, but when it comes to driving, Chris Harris should leave the place to a proper driver.

 

Have you ever seen him racing on nordschleife 24h or at goodwood revival? I would say he is quite decent.
As for the car, Im absolutely in love. This car is a real blessing for every alfisti and car enthusiast.

 

I've seen racing him on TV, and it's a mediocre amatorial race driver.
I entertain looking his YT videos, I'm subscribed to his channel, they are fun and nice to see, very professionally produced...but when it comes to push cars on tracks, there are better driver-rewievers, with a lot of pro racing experience like Randy Pobst or Jason Plato that are less spectacular than Chris Harris but definitely more able to exploit cars limits.

 

Not this again... didn't we already have a Chris Harris sucks/rules thread?

I don't give 3/5 of a s@&t either way, but it's tiresome to go through this every time someone mentions the guy.

 

Could be he is a little jealous?

Definitely jealously.

 

I have an opinion about Chris Harris!

 

I better check that youtube channel of yours linked in your sig then to see a proper driver.

I think Chris Harris is a good driver and an entertaining car reviewer I cant say how bad the other Chris on top gear was but maybe if I do, ID NEED TO DO IT IN CAPITALS AS ALL HE CAN DO IS SHOUT.

Nobody ever said Chris Harris was the worlds greatest driver so saying he is over rated must be your own rating of him, compared to how you rate yourself. Sure there are other good car reviewers and lots of not so good ones, Chris Harris has got a good following because he is actually good to watch doing this and thats all. He clearly can drive too and has a good time doing it which comes out in his videos, Aris's video in the Aventador I think was very close to what Chris Harris does but please don't let that go too viral as we need him to stick to doing the physics.

 

@ around 5:10 Chris mentions the variable slip diff isn't quite as slick as the C63 or M3 and address it to the fact Alfa Romeo haven't done RWD for about 20 or 30 years. Whether that's true or exaggerated I don't know, but what I've heard in Schmee's video about this car is that Ferrari worked very closely with Alfa in building this car, so the inexperience excuse isn't valid if that's the case.

 

Nice car. But I rather hope for the C63 in AC, cause: Sound.

Also the option to open the windows in streetcars.

 

Wow! What an impressive car. I can't wait to hear more about it and see how it does in terms of longevity. I'm not sure how I feel about the nose of the car. That whole front end - there is something about it that I can't put my finger on. At least it is unique. Very distinct. To be just a step behind an M3, according to Harris, is an impressive feat for sure. I hope it sells well.

I will always like Chris Harris for calling out Ferrari on their crap.

 

I don't know why that's such a problem. Clarkson, Hammond and May are terrible drivers but I lik their reviews more than any other drivers'. And for real racing, yes, he may not be the best, but I really don't think he's the worst as well. As far as I'm concerned, I've never seen anyone calling him a driving god.

 

Exactly. I actually found it rather strange that someone would comment on Chris Harris's driving skills when the car is supposed to be the focus here. Sounds to me like someone just really doesn't like C. Harris... That's fine, but why announce your opinion on how good of a driver a car reviewer is? Should they only let Lewis Hamilton drive cars that are being reviewed? It's what he says that matters to me.
