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.

I am doing a search on Top Gear on my DVR and I see no matches found. What gives? When do they start?

We only get the BBC nightly news plus a lot of British sitcoms.
