    If you have time it's quite a laugh.

    In fact even if you don't have time the first 30 sec will make you laugh your rear off.

      Right, I lied myself into liking the US top gear for awhile. Then I realized all they do is destroy everything. Just wish those BBC guys weren't so anti-US cars. haha :p

        The small 3 wheeler on BBC TG was the Reliant Robin, it was succesful because it only required a motorcycle license

              I saw the first ad and I was disgusted. I haven't watched one second of TGUS. I understand why TGUK is anti-US steel. I broke a piece off of a Solstice at the International Auto Show and it hadn't even been driven yet! Dodge doesn't know what 'over 30 MPG' means, and Ford waters down their own product for the US market. I can't say I disagree with them.

                  Wow, that is insane about the solstice lol.

                  I just love my Dodge's, followed by GM, and Ford (In no particular order for those last two.). Maybe one day the US auto makers will return to their glory of the 20's; 30's; and 40's. lol

                        Top Gear BBC did an episode that had an enclosed two wheel vehicle that had little arms with wheels on the end that folded down when you came to a stop. Was a really strange motorcycle.

                          Amen.
                          I've had Dodge, Chevy, and Ford of the same year range and the same class too. They all sucked in their own ways that made me wonder what the designers were smoking when they said, "Yep, that's a great idea.", when I can clearly see that it was a retarded idea in every way but cost. It's like not one of them can create one perfect car all on their own, but at the same time they all have little things that I look at and go, "Hmm, this makes sense. Why aren't they all like this?"
                          Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                            pretty neat little setup. probably wouldn't trust it in traffic. interesting steering setup too!
