Chrysler refused to loan them a car to test, so they went out and bought one. | |

I'm sure the Fiesta ST and Focus ST when they finally hit the US will be included. Hopefully GM doesn't forget about those of us who enjoy Turbo small market fun cars. Though that new Buick Regal GS looks like a winner, too bad they canceled the better version being 325hp and AWD based off the Opel Insignia OPC. Fiat/Chrysler will have a Turbo version of the 500 available here eventually that would make the show. About the Chrysler thing...does it matter now? That was when Chrysler was themselves, now that Fiat controls them...things should change because Top Gear UK does have a good standing relationship with Fiat's line and other brands. | |

 , in the end though they said they LIKED the NEW CHALLENGER. I quote, "we came to see if the americans finally built one good car, and they haven't, they've built three."

I hate to defend the show but, I just watched the episode (finally) and the were at El Mirage... there are a ton of LAND SPEED records that have been set there. Not exactly playing in the dirt. | |

Yup, I think they started running at El Mirage before we joined WW2, if not prior to WW2 in general.

It's still not a car set up for land speed, nor for traction on a dried lake bed. A simple airfield would have better better for the speed test and lets be honest for showing some tire smoking fun. | |

Yeah ... but it the show also isn't car and driver. I really doubt anyone considering buying an Aston Martin is watching TopGear's review to see an analytical test in ideal conditions  | |

 I wish they'd be their own show and stop mimicking the UK show, this is why there is a correlation and why its worse. If they did a more American version using new ideas and methods, it would be a better show all around. When you try to make it like the UK show, expect people to compare it and at this point expect it to not compare. Last edited by binaryterror; 12-05-2010 at 03:23 PM. | |

Well this weeks show was better, not sure I loved an entire episode dedicated to the test (wish they would have ran that 2012 Mustang on the test track). All in all, it was the best episode yet imo and the hosts seemed to gel better. Last edited by binaryterror; 12-06-2010 at 08:02 AM. | |

I have no issue with how they are testing the cars or the fact that they copied the UK version (it will never be as good). but the host's suck!
