He really doesn't fit in. He's like your awkward cousin whom you only see every family reunion. The guy clearly doesn't have good delivery as well.

Oddly enough, they ripped the SLS in the recent episode. But then again, they've been praising the American Cars and talking shit about the European cars. Heck, Rutledge's "review" of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was one of the most godawful reviews yet. You could actually tell that the shots of him inside of the car talking about the car and how it handles and the shots outside of the car twisting thru the steel mill are clearly not in synch. At least in TGUK, they manage to synch the shots par for par.

He only ripped on the V8 Vantage 'cause he then gave glowing praise to the V12 Vantage. That was kinda the point of ripping on the V8 - if you've got the money for an Aston, why the hell are you buying a V8 Vantage and not a DB9/DBS/Volante/One-77? But now here comes the V12 - a perfectly good excuse for spending $180,000. He then went on to say that yeah, $180k is a shitton of money for this kind of car when you could have a fully loaded 911 Turbo, R8, or SLS AMG, at the same price, but you'd still be driving a Porsche, Audi or Merc. With the V12 Vantage, you're driving an Aston Martin.

...which he litters with references to NASCAR and hotrodding and fake driving and.....gawd, can someone please shut up that asshole already?!

Gee, thanks Rutledge Wood for convincing me that the Buick Roadmaster IS NOT the car GM should build. Your whole "presentation" just turned me off even more of a classic 90's iconic car.
Also, what a waste of perfectly good cars. At least TGUK bothers to find clunkers with enough problems to make the NHTSA freak out like wussy little momma boys.
