SVX on American Top Gear

majeskyb · #1 08-21-2012, 08:05 PM

I just saw the preview for next week's (28 Aug)Top Gear America, and the show is about interesting cars from what looks like the 80's to the 90's. The two cars that I recognized were the teal SVX and a Merkur.

I just logged on to post this in the thread I made about it previously, but this'll do I guess.

Next Tuesday. Check your local Channel listings for time&channel.

My bad. I didn't see yours, but I'll admit I didn't look too hard.

At least where I'm at right now (virginia for work), Tuesday at 9:00 on the history channel. It's a '92, and the commercial makes it sound like they're going to try and sell the cars on the show. The only challenge they showed on the preview is what I'm guessing seeing how well the windows work. They were driving it down the road with the windows down, while being sprayed by a fire truck.

Saw the preview and it put a big smile on my face. Cant wait to watch the SVX win all the challenges! The 3rd car is a Cadillac Allante btw.

Ive owned a Merkur XR4ti and a 91 Allante
and of course still have my SVX
cant wait to see what they have to say about it..
I know its Tv so chances are they will prob poke fun
at all 3 , but we may get lucky as SVX owners and they
may actually give credit where credit is due.

Guys - for the benefit of SVX owners in Europe and elsewhere - can any of you please record / load onto YouTube this forcoming show please?
Then maybe post up a link on here ?
I for one would love to see it

Thanks in advance !

they're probably going to poke at the transmission issues and will also torture the baby...I don't know why I still can't wait to see it
