No
+1. As Maxpow stated some of the Corvettes are decent but the c4 gets absolutely no love from me.

And yes I wouldn't hold high hopes for american top gear. It might be ok at best but I doubt it will be any better than that.
They're terrible cars. On my personal scale of things worth driving they're right above a camaro, and right below a brick. I shit you not when I say I had my friend let me drive his, I drove it for 5 miles. got out, threw him the keys, and walked home. (Which, being me, ended up being someone picking me up)
Oh man, I was really saving up for one already..
I see you baby,

why is an american version even necessary? what they think americans cant understand a british accent? oh, yea; $$$ = thats why. A cheap cash-in on the original, funny show, hosted by guys with all the personality of wet bricks. I predict a truly awful mix of awkwardness + trying too hard + US "reality" TV format = ?

that being said, i hope im wrong. ya never know


We can hope all we can but i truly dont think its gonna help much :(

I keep my car cleaner then my room
Fuck you then, I'll take my movies, box of chocolates, bottle of wine and chloroform somewhere else.
Adding an SSD to that is kinda like strapping a 3 inch stainless HKS exhaust on a geo metro.

It's like a carbon copy of the British version with absolutely ZERO style...it completely lacks any inspiration that makes the current BBC version so great.

1987 Nissan 300ZX Turbo (Budget Supercar)
1987 Nissan 200SX SE (Old School FR)
1994 Nissan Sentra SE-R (Balls To The Wall Track Car)
2000 Nissan Maxima SE (Daily Driver)
2006 Scion tC (Wife Whip)

Nah, quoted for future use because not only is it lame and old, but it's a direct link to Schizo posting up homoerotic menswear fanfiction.

Hmm let me go back through 19 seasons and find out.

Hell if I know. Probably not. It's not a well-publicized car.
