I'm REALLY happy that Top Gear is back.

I love it that they also spend an entire segment bashing the Toyota Prius.

I don't know a ton about them but I rode in a Prius recently and was really impressed. It was the nerdiest car I'd ever been in with all sorts of buttons and gadgets and readouts. Plus, it was really quiet. I'd almost consider getting one if I didn't think it might be a little cramped in the driver's seat for me.

I like the sound of 'nerdiest car evar'.

I personally think every nerd/geek would rather have a Tesla supercar anyway.

I've only been in one once, and it was several years ago. I found it quite uncomfortable. If I got a hybrid, I'd get the hybrid Civic anyway.

I'm pretty sure if I ever move back to the US I'll end up with something like that.

And Clarkson *has* to play to type by bashing the 'green' car. He wouldn't be him otherwise. It might cause rips in the fabric of reality in this country if he didn't play a caricature of himself on Top Gear.

I also stumbled on this...

I guess going from the #13 car in their Top 100 in 2006 to a total bashing, the 2007 model sucks ass?

I'm not a car person so I don't really know. =P

Usually, you can find it on YouTube broken into a few different parts.

I stream to my tv and YouTube's quality is usually too poor to tolerate.

it's always there for download and will certainly be high enough quality.

I wish they showed newer episodes on BBCA, it seems like every episode is a re-run from 2006.

why do you even bother?
I gave up on BBC America ages ago and just shifted to downloading eps.

It's easier I guess. I just keep an eye out on the TV as I'm scrolling through channels.

I'm curious to see how hard they destroyed my C30.
