thers evo 6-7s everywhere in los angeles / most of california mate and the impreza is the usas biggest selling 4wd turbo car. i watched a bunch of septics watching top gear at Sema in vegas last year and they lasted about 5 minutes calling clarkson a jerk off asshole... See they get some things right.

America got the 7,8,9 too Wink But with a different chassis, engine, gearbox and totally new styling I guess it could be called the "new" Evo, rather than just a facelifted/updated model like the 7/8/9 and MR variants were! Smile

Ah right, I just assumed it was a new thing for them as it was just called "evolution" without any numbers. Still not impressed with the programme though, seems a bit flat without the stupid antics of our programme.

Oh look we're drifting! No you're not, that's a handbrake turn.

Oh look we're drifting! No you're not, that's a burnout.

Oh look we're drifting with a blind man! No you're not, clearly it's someone else driving.

Let's get the Aston and an identical Aston but with more power and drag race them to see which is faster. Hmmmm.

Some really groundbreaking stuff going on, really good to see Americans countering the stereotype of them being stupid arrogant dickheads.

Laugh my ass off In the Peel p50's? Quality that was. I bet the producer was regretting it when the rogue Rhino was ready to open a can of woooopas.

With all entertainment programmes like these, a lot of it is down to the presenters, if they obviously know f*ck all about their subject matter or talk to the viewer like your a f*cking idiot then the programme will be shit. Perfect example is when Tim Shaw was on fifth gear, he was an annoying cretin and wrecked the whole programme, they sack him off and suddenly its an entertaining programme again. Dont even get me started on the original replacement for tim lovejoy on soccer am - what a f*cking tool he was LOL
