    Definitely not my cup of Earl Gray. I have no use for presumptuous, smug foreigners who believe they have a monopoly on tolerance.

    That's one of the funniest episodes and you do know they gave the cars away to needy people, right?

    Not all of the cars went. If you check Google Earth, you can still see the Cadillac.

    Re: Top Gear - Welcome to America (maybe not)

    What a coincidence. I watched that very episode yesterday. I've been semi-binge watching since i discovered it a couple of months ago on Netflix streaming.

    its clearly not staged, which is not something you can say about all of their escapades. They look really frightened. They were pursued for over two hours which I suppose means until they got to the Mississippi border.

    They were uncharacteristically complimentary of their $1,000 American cars, (Clarkson makes little attempt to hide his Anti-Americanism). They should be, since all three went on a thousand mile road trip without breaking down.

    I wouldn't be dismissive of their report. You know, we have become a very hard-bitten society in this country over the years.

    Take the emotion away and argue the points they make about Merican cars. Granted, our quality has GONE way up but that in and of itself says something, right?

    There's one episode where they show how much flex is going on on the rear facia of a C6 Z06 and even 5th gear knocked the squeaks and rattles of the 427 convertable....sad but true and this is coming from a Corvette fan.

    The fact is this, since the consumer hasn't demanded better, we got we got and only until recently because of additional competition, the quality has gone up to what it should from the greatest country on earth, we can do better and have been doing just that.....recently.
