It's in reference to the fact that while Datsuns sold in the UK during the 70s and 80s were tremendously reliable, they were utterly devoid of any character or driving enjoyment. Clarkson-well,consider the source.

Datsun was interesting. They had the iconic Z cars and the B210 at the same time. They certainly had a sense of humor in that design department. The problem is that whilst the initial 240Z was a fine car, each and every descendant got bigger, fatter, uglier, and ever more smeared with tasteless chrome blingery. They also got steadily worse to drive.

Yes, source considered. A fine chap who likes, and is exceedingly good at, winding people up.

The sort of people who find him insulting are the sort of people who deserve to be insulted.
