The Škoda Yeti review was a bit drawn out, but not a bad show overall. Pretty sure the Atom needs to be my next car

The Atom vs the BMW street bike was pure art.

This show just doesn't get old.

The Ariel Atom was pretty crazy, but not what I consider a passenger car.

Old Stig revealed his true identity, so they got a new one. Did you miss the part where they said he ran in some cars on the board and got very close to old stig's times?

Another great episode!

After watching an episode of the abomination that is Top Gear America and then watching this real Top Gear episode it REALLY shows the bastardization that has taken place.

Why not? As long as I can title it as a passenger car it's good enough for me I wish the price wasn't so high on it; I could see myself buying one of the "slow" ones, but I doubt that V8 one will ever drop to a decent price.

Netflix apparently carries every past season of Top Gear for those who don't know how to bittorrent or don't want to download the show.

Also in the news section of the last Top Gear they took a look at an upcoming Mexican attempt at a boutique supercar and make some jokes about it and Mexico in general. The usual Top Gear fare.

It riled the Mexican ambassador and government to the extent that they demanded an apology, which Top Gear didn't really give them. Now a Taiwanese news program famous for goofily animating global news stories has released their take on it. Take a look below.
