Great production value, but Jeremy Clarkson's overly hyperbolic and acidic remarks (especially in regards to US products) gets a bit old. Richard Hammond is a decent personality, and the off-the-beaten path comparisons are the most interesting.

One of my favorite shows. Anyone seen the episode where they went to Vietnam? Or where they came to the US, and drove from Miami to New Orleans?

Those two shows have been my favorites Dandy! The one from Miami to New Orleans was about the funniest thing I've seen in years...
Another favorite... The one where they were testing the limits of gas efficiency, driving from somewhere in Europe(sorry, can't remember starting location) all the way to England, to arrive at the start of a show... Jeremy was killing me in that one... I can't believe he actually made it to the final destination...

I'm an avid Top Gear fan. I think I've seen every episode in the new format.
It's a shame that BBC America shows Top Gear a season behind.
I love my Monaro
Jeremy Clarkson's articles in the Times Online are high comedy.

Oh, me. Absolutely. But I don't get to see it very often.
And Jeremy Clarkson only annoyed me with his acerbic wit when talking about a Mustang, but that was a religious issue.
