SVX with TopGear

Top Gear USA is most likely going to destroy it.

Re: SVX with TopGear

I've been waiting for them to do something with the SVX. Glad to see it finally come around!

Unfortunately, that's what I'm thinking.

Re: SVX with TopGear

Judging by the condition of the caddy and "ford", I don't see them being destroyed, at least not on purpose.

Re: SVX with TopGear

could care less about the caddy. I really hope they don't kill the Merkur....oh yeah and the SVX too. Hope they don't kill that either.

I wonder how they would react to a forum of people telling them the wheel is on backwards?

Re: SVX with TopGear

These days, it's almost an honor. You'd like to think that any destroyed machines were better off destroyed, anyway...

Re: SVX with TopGear

Maybe not entirely. They will certainly push it to its limits though. It's said that Foust is going to be rallying it so we'll see how it fares

Re: SVX with TopGear

Yeah ok, so it might just be a "who can get more than $1000 for a forgotten yet nice car" challenge or something like that. Since the sale itself is going on the show, I assume it's an important event.

Well, let's hope something nice comes out of it. You never know.

As for british TG, I agree with everyone.. uhh. I don't really fancy that much all the stuff on exotics I can't afford anyway... and they're style is not really greatly appreciated outside britain. After all, if a car isn't italian, english or hot!hot!hot! AMG or Alpina, it's not a good car for them. As a matter of fact, for a Subaru zealot, the whole british car journalist scene is just hideous. Obviously british conditions do not favour Subarus and they only like it when it's old school Imprezas and preferably (or exclusively) STI. The situation is quite to the contrary here (conditions are not unlike Japan), Subaru is perfectly mainstream and generally regarded as better than german premium cars when price levels are matched. A B9 is probably on the same price level as a standardly underpowered A6 with decent equipment.

I've ranted about his before: it's car culture.

Re: SVX with TopGear

I'm excited to see what TGUSA does with that segment. It's fun to imagine which host goes with which car. We know Tony Danza is going to show up with the Caddy, but the Merkur and SVX could go either way. They're both dorky.

Anyway, I like TG Proper as well as TGUSA. They're just different. I'm glad that The History Channel gave TGUSA more time instead of just canceling after the (very, very rough) first season. It took awhile, but the hosts have genuine chemistry and the show has found its rhythm.
