Finally we get to see the greatest car review TV show.  The legendary Top Gear is on Discovery Channel at 10 PM tonite (EST) and every Wednesday. Jeremy Clarkson is outstanding and is not afraid to toss cars around and do insane burnouts in a $80,000 Maseratti.  Car and Driver TV looks like a public access show compared to Top Gear.  Don't miss this show.  Plus we get to see all the "other cars" yeah the nice ones we don't get here, the new Focus which is based on the new Volo s40 platform (what do we get here...a couple small changes), the Atom (well they import it for you if you got the money), the 911 GT3 RS you can't get in the US.

They were shooting cars out of a car cannon.

Jeremy has a great sense of humor Always busting jokes about England.

They just had a head to head comparo between 911 GT3 RS and the 360 Modena CS (the special light track version).

Yeah Ive seen all the american espisodes so far, it is a fantastic show.. I agree

my only concern is, they really get peoples hopes up on a lot of cars, example the Ford Sport KA,
I can buy it but its goning to cost me about $8,000 extra to get a custom left hand drive model and shipped to the US.. boo hoo..

Thats the biggest reason I want to move to europe.. they have way more of a selection of cars..
Dammit I want to drive a Citroen C5 down South Beach!!

I’m interested.  Where did you see all the episodes? SPEED Channel or does Discovery have them OnDemand?

They got the picture of Clarkson in the Ariel Atom with his face distorted.https://www.topgear.com/content/fun_stuff/postcards/7/

Sucks doesn't it.  I mean even FORD is screwing us.  Volvo chassis in Europe and shopping cart chassis in US (exaggerating here)...

When you watch Top Gear is like a movie not a show....Even watching Auto Week on DW (German TV) is much better then the shows we have here (it has a style to it, everything is sharp, sleek, the commentary is smart)..
