I heard there is a Top Gear australia, and I think i remember a US version with Tanner Foust.
All I know is the UK version is pure genius.
Plus its MID ENGINE MADNESS !!!
The next season of Top Gear UK should start this month. I'm not sure how much of a delay there is, if any, before it hits BBC-America. If you haven't seen their latest trip to America, be sure to check out Season 15, Episode 7.
Go look on you tube for the top gear america. The sick f***s destroyed a fiero on there.,and myth-busters as well.They were all nice looking cars. I have to say the UK version is a good show.Mainly because the cars they ruin on there are not very popular here.

I've been catching up on some old ones I've missed on Netflix. They've got series 2 all the way up to darn near last year if I recall correctly available instantly on Netflix.
My BY FAR favorite episode is when they came to the U.S. and drove through the south. Painted a few choice words to piss of the locals on their cars. You got 5 points if you didn't get shot and a point for getting somebody else shot. I think they underestimated some of the locals and got run off from a gas station. They all actually looked pretty scared but it was utter hilarity on my end of the television.
On a side note, I have always wanted to hear what they had to say about the Fiero. They really don't like American cars because they say they can't turn....maybe the Fiero would change their minds.

I like the Epic Challenge episodes. My favorite episode is probably the one where they crossed Bolivia, or maybe when they raced the Truck and Dog sled to the North Pole.

Are you kidding? They would utterly roast a Fiero if they were to test one. Clarkson would trash it just for being American, and with the Fiero's bad reputation, that would just add fuel to the fire. My guess would be they'd have the Stig take it for a lap, and it would burst into flames.
Top Gear UK isn't going to give any American car a fair shake. Even the ZR1 which Clarkson said he loved, he added that the quality sucked and the synchros in the tranny were crap. Hammond said a Dodge Viper had a shifter that felt like it came out of a truck. They make fun of most cars and it's not possible for them to mention anything American without taking a pot shot at it, too.
Top Gear U.S. is about the best showing you can expect for a Fiero. I thought it did really well, and Tanner said he liked the car. All of the cars were pretty much destroyed with the water at the end, though.
