Don't Americans not get BBC? I've been watching Top Gear on there and assumed it was available stateside as well.

And yes Tiff is da man

Wonder if the show will focus only on american cars or those only available in the US/NA. The TL, perhaps?

The show will most likely be picked up directly from Britain, which means it will focus on cars available there.

Unfortunately no. I had hoped that Speedvision would have picked it up. But once Fox purchased Speedvision, remaining to SPEED (NASCAR TV), things took a turn for the worse. But that is another topic.

I always wondered why one of the PBS stations never showed it. They broadcast Motorweek and also an occasional BBC show, why not Top Gear.

They occasionally bring a car across the pond to test and rip on it.

I hope they follow up on their Z51 equipped C6 test with a C6 Z06 test.

I haven't seen Fifth Gear on SPEED Channel for a while now. It went from a Monday night time slot to...

And it's about BLOODY FUCKING TIME they brought us some Top Gear. I love that show. Jeremy Clarkson is hilarious. Tiff from Fifth Gear is easily the better driver, but I find Clarkson more amusing to watch.

And no, we don't get the BBC. Instead, we get BBC America (and only on cable/satellite) which runs only select BBC shows.
