Hope these weren't already posted somewhere, I looked but didn't find anything.

Pretty fun videos (as always) from Top Gear BBC, although this time they're in American rides (Challenger, Vette, and Caddy) and on a trip! (Surprised they chose a Cadillac for the segment though.) Of course you'll always get a lot of Anti-American car stuff from BBC, but its still fun to watch. Couple funny parts too. Enjoy!

I love Top Gear. I have all 14 seasons at the house. Best show in history in my opinion.
Nice! I love it as well, and have thought about picking up the entire series. I dont know about best show in history, but I will agree to best automotive related show in history!

Top Gear is awesome! They were looking at having an American version of the show at one point. I don't think it ever got off the ground. I'm kind of glad it didn't. The guys that have that show on BBC are hilarious. I don't think they could get away with a lot of the stuff over here that they do over there.

I dont like the fact that they bash everything that rolls out of the USA!:smiledown:
You just have to understand who it's coming from. These are self title pompous rich Britts, and they are pretty hard on American cars because they know deep down that our cars posses an excitement that European cars have to be VERY expensive to achieve.

I think their view of us is much like ours is of Canada. . . Fun place to make fun of but would be the last place you would want to disappear.

Jeremy Clarkson actually really, really loved the ZR1, so much so he bought one and drives it in the UK.

The Top Gear boys are fair for the most part, and even admit something in one episode:
"While cars from the colonies (Australia, USA) are not as well made, lack refinement and handling..they are extremely fun to drive".
