My old 87 gt would have failed the parking brake test, mostly because I had the Beretta / Grand AM brake upgrade on all four corners, ie N/A.

Hahahahaha we've all had that e-brake problem!!! That was hilarious! Btw, Bananarama is no longer together LOL!

luckily, they aren't testing any myths Mythbusters (Mythbuster's rock, but car's don't last long in myths...lol)

I have to say they were fair. They didn't do anything to make it more or less than it actually was and to be honest, I like all 3 cars that competed. I just like the caprice a bit better than the wagon. The cutlass is also a great car.

What was the guy hoping to do by jumping out of the fiero rolling backwards? This show answers the question "What happens when you give Beavis and Butthead a car"?

I have a sneaking suspicion there will be some sort of a re-visit in the future

MegaVideo.com

I've been watching my favorite car show "TOP GEAR" theoriginal british one on BBC America and through Mega Video.
they also have the American spin off there as well.

Edit to add, I wonder if Top Gear people are spying on us...

I have to admit, the Reliant Robin episode on the UK version was epic! I also liked the one that aired last week of the SUVs driving through the So American wilderness.

So, how waterproof is that ecm going to be

Damn man, that was a nice looking little notchie. The cutlass is OK but that roadmaster has to go.... What a freakin' titanic.... peace

Pete

they are filling it with water!!!!!!

is it bad that i like the renders? lol


I gotta admit, that episode wasnt all that terrible.

*sigh*

I thought of the perfect word to describe the episode: Travesty.

Well... at least they didn't blow it up/drop a piano on it/convert it into a sailboat/park it behind a truck/play 'chestnuts' with it/torch it.
...still, though. I would have liked that car before they destroyed it.

Dear God I pray that nobody at Gm takes that show seriously.... that rendering was quite possibly the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I thought the fiero was doing pretty well tho. There was now way it was gonna run with the water inside it because the computer is inside the console I guess. I guess if there was any sort of performance tests other than that accelleration test the fiero would have easily tromped the rest but they wanted to do all the really stupid tests they could dream up. I gotta admit I have seen worse shows and the guys are actually kinda funny sometimes. Peace....

When I saw them filling the car I told my wife. "There is no way it is going to start". I was hoping that they had relocated the ECM before filling the cabin with water. Nope.

Tanner did the Fiero justice and was clearly the one having the most fun on the open road drive. He would be welcome to drive my car. (As long as he doesn't fill it with water).

Yeah, they actually gave the Fiero some respect. I was pleasantly surprised. They also used a pretty good specimen of a Fiero for the show.

It could have been worse... a lot worse.

agreed. To clean of a car to trash. Why not trash some massed produced Japanese cars?

He is like a perfect match for the Jeremy Clarkston guy... add in some annoying skinny dude and boom, perfect knockoff! I am always a bit confused that the hosts were just not that enthusastic in their own way.. the descriptions were very scripted and the adjectives predictable.

Leno was asked to be a host but refused on the grounds that the show would most likely have manufacturers as sponsors so he couldn't say what he really wanted to.

considering the general idea and premise of the show, a massed produced japanese car is not likely to reignite GM.

weak premise

I can't find the video on Mega. anyone have a better link to the video?

I enjoyed it.

awwwww man it was recorded like 44 miles from my house. dam! that would have been cool to see.

my old boss even lives in Marshall. he must be dead
cuz, if he knew they were doing a show with a Fiero in his small town, he would have told me.
he gave me flack over my '87 SE all the time.

oh well.....maybe next time.
i thought the show was good too.....they told it like it is with the Fiero.....good on them!
i knew it would be Tanner with the Fiero also......no foolies

ets see...said it was a chick's car and it burst into flames...then filled it with water...yay...shoulda trashed a worn down fiero not that mint one...cmon fatal car crash...at least tanner seems to like it =)

I'm 15 minutes into the episode and I all I see is good press.

Would have been nice if the fiero had won..which imho it did...and they had professional concept drawing done...oh well.

'The guy' who drove the Fiero is Tanner Foust,

'Tanner Foust is in high-demand as a stunt driver, with film credits including “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and “The Dukes of Hazard.” Foust is a winning competitor in rally, drift, ice racing and time attack with multiple champion podium placements including the 07' & 08' X Games Rally Champion and 07' & 08' Formula Drift Pro Drift Champion. His varied race experience includes open wheel competition, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb (2002 - 2004), five Ice Racing championships and the 2005 PGT Rally Championship. He also holds class lap records at numerous U.S. road courses in Time Attack. In addition, Foust also hosted “Supercars Exposed” for the SPEED channel.'

Yes, Tanner Foust is a very accomplished driver. Him giving props to the Fiero in the show is a great endorsement for our little cars.

I personally am glad they used a nice looking Fiero for the show. Because even though they beat it up, it looked good on camera, and was complimented by Tanner. Maybe our cars will get a little more respect because of it.

They were kind to the Fiero.

I only cringed when they said fire. At least they did not dwell one the Fiero issue and they did not burn it down.

It could have been much worse. Heck the car looked good in HD.

I enjoyed the episode. Was always wondering what it would be like to see a Fiero on Top Gear and I think it did exceptionally well. I'm glad that they used a very neat example of a Fiero because it really looked awesome on screen, although it is a shame that they ruined it in some of those pointless tests. I think the soda cup test was completely unnecessary since that has already been done in 'How I met your mother'

I'd say the positive comments made by Tanner definitely outweigh the negatives made by the others. They weren't anywhere near as harsh as we expected them to be.
