It's going to be broadcast in HD this season . BBC Canada is still broadcasting reruns , so looks like I'll be downloading some multi-gigabyte torrents.

The episode was online last night, but not on streetfire. I googled it and found a site that was hosting it. I am glad they are back. The end of the show pissed me off though. All this build up to the best road in the world and they hardly show you any of it. bastards.
Top Gear - Season 14, Episode 2 - November 22nd, 2009 In this episode: Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to save the planet by building their own electric car, and then put their latest “green” creation through the rigors of the new car testing process Jeremy pits the Corvette ZR1’s muscle against the finesse of Audi’s R8 V10 SIARPC: actor Michael Sheen

Check out some of those mid engined Lancia's - definitely some similar styling cues to the Fiero.
The Stratos lap was hilarious
Thanks TiredGXP.
Top Gear - Season 14, Episode 3 - November 29th, 2009
In this episode: James explores a new way to get a caravan to it’s destination and Richard drives the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Jeremy and Richard drive all of Lancia’s great cars Jeremy drives a Lancia Stratos kit car and the Stig takes it somewhat around the track SIARPC: Radio 2 breakfast host-elect Chris Evans
Top Gear - Season 14, Episode 4 - December 6th, 2009 In this episode: Teenage Mutant Ninja Jeremy wanders the sewers beneath Belfast in the new Renault Twingo 133, for what will probably be a really good reason. Richard, possibly having watched that Cadbury’s advert, takes part in Airport Vehicle Racing and James, rather more sensibly, reviews the Vauxhall Insignia. Yes, a car review! On the track, Jeremy drives the BMW X5M, Audi Q7 V12 and a super charged Range Rover – 4×4s designed to get your children to school very quickly.
SIARPC: Guy Ritchie, who ironically, couldn’t direct traffic.
No Top Gear for Sunday Dec 13, 2009, boys where on a break. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well... I haven't watched since series 12 ended. Finally catching up now.
I forgot where my old source for the show was located (website) but remembered it. Now I only have to download 13 more videos to be caught up Now for some entertainment.
[edit: downloaded... watching...]

That was a good episode. I do think they are getting a little too obvious when they stage things such as when Richard walked up to Jerremy's window just before they were supposed to drive down the side of the giant sand dune.
The part where Jerremy had to get around that other SUV on the road of death was a real nail biter. This episode was on par with when they had to drive across the Sahara desert, drive across the English Channel or get from south to north Vietnam. I love those episodes.

Agreed. How about the North Pole episode? That one was awesome too!

I really enjoy their expedition shows, but some of the schtick is really getting old. That part of it is becoming too formula and predictable, but the bits that dealt with the run itself and not them all taunting each other were brilliant. I'm kind of surprised they didn't take oxygen up with them on the mountain crossing. They had to know the altitude before setting out. (I'm sure the support teams had it if there was a need. I mean as part of their regular caravan kit.)

The Lexus LFA is reviewed. It reminds me a lot of the Toyota Supra in its general shape. A 552 hp, 9,000 rpm, 8 liter aluminum V10 is very impressive. The ~$750,000(US)+ price is nuts.
