Default So I decided to check out the Top Gear website

I was just merely browsing the site when I came upon a Top Gear Survey of the Top 10 cars. And guess what car was at the top?

Just got through watching Top Gear 2 hours ago. In this episode it had races between a Train vs car and Bobsled vs rally car. It's interesting in that it's a British program from the American audience.

Yeah the s2000's come top 3 years running and the engine came top for the last three years and came in top ten this year. It beat everything surprisingly when it hasn't really changed over the last three years! Top gear rocks its been on the go for about 14years over here you've been missing out bad!!

I agree, I have been getting it on cable here for some time now. Another program to look out for is 5th Gear.

Another good one, it was started after another channel (Channel 5) poached half of the presenters from top gear to start the show, they thought it would kill Top Gear but Jeremy Clarkson makes the show what it is and as long as hes there it will always be a ratings winner. Dont know if you can get it but look out for a few series he did of Jeremy Clarksons Extreme machines its as good as Top Gear if not better!!

Yes when 5th Gear stole half the staff, Top Gear went to some weird live audience format which never really grabbed me.
You have to love the way Tiff flings the cars around on 5th Gear.

The main reason the S2000 came top, was mainly thanks to S2ki I think
