If they don't get to an episode that isn't all supercars soon, I won't.
...umm--isn't the Brit Top Gear mostly supercars???
I went back and rewatched the first episode of Top Gear UK last night...the first bit was a review of a mini van from Citroen....and Jeremy liked it. He actually claimed that the ride was as comfortable as a Jaguar.
The first episode of TG UK had some issues, but it was still entertaining. [*] The biggest problem was that it took too long for them to edit the "Star in a reasonably priced car" lap.....they interviewed the guest, then had to cut to another bit while waiting to have the video ready to show.
The news was the strangest section; knowledge of what would come later changes the viewing experience a lot. examples:
* Jezza mispronouncing veyron, and making fun of the idea that a car that powerful could be built
* hamster praising the appearance of the upcoming convertible nissan micra....the car that he'd later say was too embarrassing to drive (mostly because of the pink color of the test car. Remember, Jeremy said it looked like a scrotum)
* the prediction that FIAT was about to be purchased by an American company (GM)

[*] - I feel the same way about the new USA version.
