Thread: Top Gear Season 20 Discussion

Top Gear is BACK! Discuss Season 20 here.

1st episode is 8/10

Proper road test by Hammond to start, love hot hatchbacks. Fiesta is a tall car, Renault will ditch the Flappy Paddle gearbox within 2 years, and Peugeot will just fall apart. Love how Hammond says it corners flat as the thing rolls more than any other car I've ever seen on this show.

Scripting is getting a little old though.

There discussion on potholes was funny; they are complaining about how they filled a pothole, which is exactly how we do repair work here. SUFFER BRITAIN with your perfect roads!

BMW 4-series still makes no sense to me, but not as bad as Infiniti's blunder with renaming all their cars to begin with 'Q'

SIARPC is........Vauxhall Astra 1.6L

The race was good, Jeremy's accidents were funny...but they need to better editing. The car was brown one second then blue.

It comes on tomorrow night doesn't it? I hate these hotels not having many good channels. I miss having the BBC back home.

I only get Top Gear on netflix and currently on season 10 so I will discuss season 20 in what a a few years lol

It aired at 3PM EST, since in England it would be 8PM.

A stream on the internet is up usually about 15 minutes after a show airs

hmm so in august i will watch it. also did james may come back with the show? I did hear rumblings about him leaving.

Jimmy, you know that pedal between the Gas and clutch?

Things I wish this show did.

-Tell us how many times a Super car or any car for that matter, breaks down during the test. I sometimes hear warning chimes in the reviews and they say nothing about it. Every now and then they mention the car broke a lot.
-Tell us the repairs that have to be done to the RPC, I'm curious to know how a car holds up over time. From what I gather it is the reason the Chevy RPC was gone so quickly because it was terrible.

I wish they'd try more American car's, but at the same time, I'm afraid of what will be said about cars I idolize, like the CTS-V coupe.

Yeah I've heard the multiple RPC before, which I don't doubt. These cars get pretty beat up.

That Ferrari F40 that didn't start was a hoax, same with the Porsche 944. I've heard it was because the owners didn't want their cars raced.

They hate American cars and bag them all the time...I'm content with seeing all the things I'll never see here stateside.

I'll just watch the US Top Gear and mute it to see the American cars.

I hate Foust and the fat guy and the guido Italian guy that aren't funny.

At all.

I just wish there was a behind the scenes look to find out what cars do well after they get done abusing it.

Honestly they rag on every one but british made cars but even then they make fun of those. We do the same here.

I remember reading somewhere that after they were done with the ZR1 here in America, the car was falling apart. But again they rag on these cars because its not theirs.

The Mercedes SLS Jeremy loved so much, had a ton of issues afterwards. Another car reviewer who got the car after him said there was a CEL and one of the wheel bearings had given up after less than 3,000 miles of use.

had a 454 corvette and it fell apart like a wet paper towel..... so they are not that far off had 2 corvettes like that tho. would love to see a chevy spark race
