Just finished watching! VERY GOOD episode!!! Especially when the motorcycle cop in Reno stopped Clarkson! You know the cop had NO IDEA he was being filmed! Boy was he pissed at JC!!!
And, even if your not a Chevy guy, those images of seeing Clarkson powersliding the ZR-1 perfectly around that corner was SICK COOL!!!!

Yeah, they just can't hand out a compliment without some sort of caveat - like at the end when May said that the cars "aren't quite as well made as we'd like." Which I think is BS in the case of the CTS-V at least.

sitting in a new CTS and sitting in a 3 series, i can see what they mean. Not saying i would not prefer 556 supercharged horsepower to 414 normally aspirated, well i might but idrive is rediculous, i am shocked there wasnt much interior bashing on the challenger and the corvette. i mean at least the steering wheel in the challenger should get a joke or two. Ultimately i think you need to look at one quote "well we came to amrica to see if they made a good car, they didn't.... they made three"
and again OMG the challenger is HUGE
and again OMG the challenger is HUGE

ya that was a great episode. Definitely a big kiss and make up after they last american trip. They definitely chose some nicer cars this time. Too bad Ford didn't really have anything new to offer up when they were around. It would've been awesome if they coulda tried out a Raptor while they were here, although that was filmed a bit too early. I'm really curious to know what they would think of that thing, I have a feeling they'd dig it.

Episode #3. AWESOME!!!
I finished watching episode 3 last night. I'm under the weather and didn't feel like typing out a reply about it last night, so I am doing it today. All I will say, as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it, the "star in a reasonably priced car" spot was GOOD!! Especially the shot at another actor!!!!! And Mika is AWESOME in the AMG!!!
