I think it was a good piece. Always good to see the trio in better quality than 240p YouTube videos. I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about TG USA.

Top Gear UK roooooooolz! 
OK, juvenile moment over.
Thanks for posting this!
Are we really a cult-like following here in the US like Kroft says?

It was a good interview however, I did see the episode where they drove through the South trying as much as possible to provoke a negative reaction from the people there, which they finally did. I'd wager if you behaved like such asses anywhere in the world you would probably get f'ed up. This was the one thing I thought was in poor taste.

How clueless is Yahoo?
Are you kidding me Yahoo? How do you know that little about something you're posting about? A gameshow? REALLY?!

I think it's one of the reasons Top Gear is so popular, is because they attempt stunts like this. Clarkson even said in the interview they can't please everybody, otherwise they wouldn't have an entertaining show.
I don't think anybody expected them to get stones tossed at them, and I doubt it would happen in many other places, but the hilarity of it is in them trying to get a reaction out of the Southerners.

Top Gear seasons are way too far apart
If you're going to make us wait 8+ months, we expect more than just seven episodes.They're absolutely amazing, but still... just seven?

You'd be surprised at how little people know Top Gear over here. It's not exactly primetime television But somebody should've at least looked up the show to see what it was about.

Top gear apparently found a new stig!! Top gear visited a stig farm and chose the best from there.

Maybe they can kill him the way they kill Morris Marinas, but instead of dropping a piano they can drop a stack of Ben Collins' books on him?

Well, not really his books.... don't want to give him any sales, but books that are made to look like his.
No? Okay. Then how about "accidentally" dropping a caravan on him?

Isn't it illegal to smoke in a SLS AMG?
