the Australian version is SOOOOOO bad. i could care less about anything they've had on the show so far. It not just the idea of the show that makes the original Top Gear good, but its the presenters as well. They are actually able to showcase the cars and events they are in, in an entertaining manner. Top Gear: Australia is trying to hard to be something it isn't. just my 2 cents. Hopefully Top Gear: America won't be as big of a let down as Top Gear: Australia. And who knows what Top Gear: Russia will be like.

here's a promo of the new season.
Also, youtube will have top gear episodes the day after the episode airs in UK. You usually have to type in something like "top gear s12e01" or top gear season12episode01" or it could be under a random title.

Or you could just download the torrents straight from http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/.

true. but if you don't want to be a pirate, youtube is the way to go, and my dorm's internet connection through the university is blocked on the ports that the torrents use.

I know. I watched a couple of episodes on youtube but I fell asleep. Its f**king boring. They try so hard to match the original but they failed, even the Stig thing "some say..."

Amazing how much more entertaining this is than the Australian version. The hosts really make all the difference. I'm not optimistic about the US show.

How do you think the GT2 did around the track? I wonder why Jeremy hates Porsche so much.

Well it was obviously faster. Probably a half second quicker than the Gallardo.

I don't think he hates Porsche so much as it's a running joke...and he usually finds them "boring". I thought he'd love the GT2 since it's decidedly not boring.
