top gear US has a camaro on set (pic included)

Dog wasn't worrying about being PC or offending sponsors or automotive bigsh*ts when he said, "Piss on all of this!"

But that men could be so smart.

cool about the camaro!!

if you guys go watch some of the original top gear episodes they aren't that great. it took a LONG time and lineup changes before the show became what it is. so keep that in mind before bashing a show based on a few episodes.

This episode was better and more entertaining.

I like Tanner but the other two guys are marginal. They should get Paul Tracy on the show - love his sarcasm. Tanner and Paul make a good duo on Battle of the Supercars.

I think paul tracy is on the show...he is the stig... Just think about it, they were together on battle of the supercars.

Practically every show you see here in the US came first from the BBC...

Paul Tracy would be great on Top Gear US. The show is just so dry right now. I'm pulling for them.... but they have a way to go. And I also thought that Tracy may be the Stig but seems too obvious since him and Tanner are on Battle of the Supercar together.

yeah this is completely true. when top gear UK first came out is was actually a lot worse than the US one. so i know that top gear US will become a lot better.

I am sorry, but, these guys need a major overhaul. Also was somewhat insulted by Mr. Foust's lame attempt at humor regarding the Mitsubishi Evo.

Mr. Foust, making a lame joke about Mitsubishi, being known for building Zeros, with a silly remark about a business plan along the lines of," build airplane, get in, and crash into a ship." was uncalled for and insulting to not only the Japanese, but to the Men and Women who fought in World War II. You need to get a sense of History and the seriousness of World War II.

I may be an old crank, but seriously, that was uncalled for. If it was from some script writer, then fire that person. If it was you ad lobbing, you need to grow up.

Just doesn't fly.

Remember that what they're "teaching" in schools now for History has very little to do with what actually happened. Cleaned up, sanitized, politically corrected so as to not make anyone feel bad. We "old farts" will continue to just shake our heads when the "young-uns" don't have a clue. Just more of the "change" that gets put on us every day.

Record the sound of your V8; it'll be just a memory in a few years.

So Sad, but Oh So True! My Dad was in the Phillipines during the War.

In no way do I hold all the Japanese people responsible for the war, when ruled by a Despotic Overly Zealous Governement like they were prior to and during the war, they were led down a path to ruin.

Many lessons need to be learned and remembered from Wars like that one.

I can only say I am thankful that the War was ended and that a more stable representative form of government resulted in a thriving vibrant society.
