New season start tom!  Hopefully there's a torrent is up soon.

What are your hopes for this season?  I really hope they do britcar24 again.

NBC took Top Gear off it's fall lineup so no.

But if you mean if they're broadcasting the british version tomorrow then I dunno... Check BBC America then I guess.

No messin' around with this shit. I take my Top Gear very seriously. So is it just for Europe/GB or USA or both? It's usually on BBC every Monday night.

It's BBC America.  I don't have it.  I've heard it's kinda iffy with Top Gear consistently.  I'm hoping for a torrent or a quick youtube link that goes up for a little before being axed.

Nah it looks like they're going through with it.  Adam Carolla, Eric Stromer, Tanner Faust are going to be the presenters, NBC is insisting that they won't leash the opinions of the presenters depending on sponsorship money.

I think if they really try they can make it good, but in the end I think it really just depends if the presenters have the same chemistry as Jeremy, James, and Richard.  It's a tall order.

No Yank can live up to any British talent. What are they thinking? It's like putting BBQ sauce on fish and chips. You can do it, but it doesn't mean you should.

Why does it matter if it doesn't live up to the brit version?  It's not like the original will cease to exist once nbc's version airs.  I am going to wait and see before i make judgements.  Nbc did make american Office awesome after all.

47000 pounds.


that's over 90000 USD.

Almost 3 digits for a Mitsu!  That said, it's amazing they can do that to a 4 door econobox.
