> not even mentioning any of Top Gear's rebuttals.
George Monbiot is often like that. Thankfully the article linked to in that paragraph does give Top Gear a fair opportunity for rebuttal.
> He does actually blame Top Gear?
Well, that's generally what is implied by "I'm not blaming only Top Gear". And even if most of those boy racers had sports cars (they don't - think cheap Volkswagen Golfs with ridiculous spoilers, or even worse[0]), sports cars aren't inherently designed for you to break road laws any more than a gun is designed for indiscriminate murder. In any case it's just more wood for Monbiot's Top Gear bonfire rather than anything of real substance.
