The reason why petrol prices are so high in Europe is because we have to get most of our oil and petrol from the Middle East, while in the US you have Alaska.
And also, pronounce Nissan right, its not Neesahn, its fucking Nissan, it has an i in it not an e. Retards
@hesky10 We say it as neesan because thats how it said in the advertisements here in the U.S. You need to realize that there are words that we say different, stop being ignorant.
bet all u fuck asses are British or at least British decendent. so stop the whining beatches and let this guys have their fun.I'm hoping this guys will do as good as jeremy or at least have fun and entertain the people.Top gear rules and who really gives a damn about who does it.Maybe cuz u'all got used 2 the british ugly guy jajaja
euopean cars are better than american. "what about making cars aswell the 100k corvette outruns the double priced ferrari" so? i bet their is a porsche or a lambo that is faster than a more expensive dodge viper, whats you point?
The issue is simple. TOP GEAR is a fantastic show and we love it here in the USA. The problem with TOP GEAR USA is that the new cast SUCKS. We would rather just have Clarkson, Hammond and May continue with the show and send us the UK product. Don't mess with a good thing!

as for the audi tt i think they should put them2 t's to use n slap a twin turbo in there or make a more affordable and practical version of the r8 for the middle class people give us a taste of the r8 without the pricetag so i think the inline 5 will work great 5 cylinders half of the r8's v10 and to make it more cool give it a more aggressive looking front end my opinion is to make it a mini r8 the r8 is in high demand but not alot can afford it so they'll take the next best thing

@riodamenace3 perfect. but to answer the question simply...id say 305 hp. its got to atleast have the power of somthing like an STi...bc of how much it costs.
i think america needs a version of top gear for us americans 2 relate 2 and as much as i love the british top gear some of the cars they have are not for us import n i hate it... but as far as the audi tt i think in order for it 2 b cool is 2 put those 2 t's 2 use n thro in some twin turbos or make it into an audi r4 the affordable and more practical version of the r8 for the middle class americans give us a taste of the r8 for a taste of the price so i think 5 cyl. is perfect half of the v10!!!

1. The new NSX is a joke. It's a Skyline in new clothes; front engine, awd, a lot like the original mid engine, RWD setup... oh wait...
2.Yeah I'd buy a used Lambo, maybe the Superleggera will be within my grasp in the future.
3. To make a TT cool: New body work to look more aggressive, new chassis with some performance minded changes, and a 3.2 Turbo with an output around 330-350, and a sporty interior; think Porsche like seats, aggressive steering wheel & guages.
you have no idea about nsx. You should compare a 1990 honda nsx with 200k + vs 1990 lambo with over 100k. Nsx was a real world supercar. Only porsche 911 can be compared to nsx for real world. I have personally driven a nsx with over 300k on it. Even 18 year old nsx had no electrical, mechanical issues, body rust issues. audi tt is a girls car.
I know, I'm saying the new NSX is nothing like the original. I agree about the TT, that's why I think my mods would help make it more of a "guys" car.
I can't see a yank top gear working too well man. Whats wrong with our version over there? Top gear here does reviews for alot of american made cars. Top gear is fine how and where it is now man.
Personally I could not agree with you more. But I don't think Clarkson would like being sensored. That would take too much away from the appeal of the BBC version. Also I don't think Ford and Chevy would like to air commercials after Jeremy just spent fifteen odd minutes bashing their badges.
I could not agree with you more. Wish I got BBC America. The only Top Gear I get is here on youtube. Its depressing, the Top Gear channel here only gives you snips and tid bits.
Around the ring it was. Unofficial times has the ZR1 at 7:26.4, the GT-R at 7:29.0 and the 911 GT2 at 7:32.02. But now Nissan is bringing out a V-spec package..
i hate adam corrolla i wish leno hadnt passed on it, hes the only american equivalent to clarkson i think, without a clarkson, the show cannot be good. like on tg australia the only guy i like is the guy who is the supposed equivalent to jezza or w/e they call him lol

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THE MUCLE VS TUNERS SHIT BOTH HAVE fAST CARS, LIKE WHATEVER YOU LIKE there are allways going to be people on both sides im a fan of both and you can make anycr go fast.
The Porsche GT-1 is going to spank every Nurburgring record out there when it comes out. It will be a 960HP street legal LeMans car. Porsche estimates it's top speed at 260+MPH which will make it the fastest production car ever made.
LoL at the GTR fans! They lose to both the ZR1 AND the Viper ACR, and all they can do is come up with some weak sauce, sour grapes griping about how the ZR1 or Viper is lighter, and has more horsepower, blah, blah, blah. WELL, NO SH*T, SHERLOCK! LIGHER WEIGHT+ AND MORE HORSEPOWER, what a surprise! THATS CALLED "WINNING", try it sometime! Don't confuse it with what you do, that's called "whining" GTR fans "whine", ZR1 and Viper ACR owners "Win". Get that straight!
WWARGH OMG WTF the new NSX is an insult to the old one. It looks horribly clumsy. It has the enigine in the front and AWD. C'mon! It's just a Skyline rip off.
the car used was a test car for the v-spec that had 595 horse power and weighed less than the stock gtr not to mention it should handle better since it has the power of awd, so yeah "big achievement duh!! lol
incorrect, dyno test estimate 500bhp, and it was a standard gt-r. Handtimed by spectators, the v-spec proto which has "550hp" as nissan claims and is lighter did it in roughly 7:25. long time ago. The team still is working on it. the 7:29 was a normal gtr. But in all honesty, if with even a 121 extra hp and so much less weight it didnt manage anything special. Yes it doesnt have awd, but cmon. Its so much lighter. and more powerful and has fatter tires.
And if you all think I'm wrong then why isn't there ever been a poular American car show. And dont list "horse power tv" its just some fussy old guys.
The BBC is producing the US Top Gear. They actually have to produce the pilot of the show also. So its not stolen.BBC World owns anything Top Gear so NBC would have to purchase a license or some sort to have a show here but related to the US market,Which they did. Its like every euro game show coming to america EG: Who wants to be a millionaire,Weakest Link,etc. Its the same as those.
In my opinion, the TT-RS needs a new chassis, a gold chassis just isnt good enough, a new chassis would be needed and maybe some "agro" "DTM" style body styling. Engine wise, 450bhp turbocharged v6 would be fine and dandy ;)
nope the gt-r will keep the amazing lap time.. if it gets beat, then it will reclaim it in 2010 when they amp up the engine and lighten the car for higher performance
I would have to agree with some people on the TT, but look at what Audi is. They are the luxury brand of VW, and the new lines are more aggressive then the TT of old, so a little more masculine. For the price they need to step up and make a car that guys who want to be more grown up then the STI and EVOX, they need to take their challenge from that. I agree, a 350hp Turbo 3.2 (VR6) would be nice. Same fun as the "performance" Lancer and WRX, but with the Audi comfort and luxury edge. AWD a must
On paper, James May is a shitty choice for Top gear. In practice, he offers a good counterpoint to the typical car guy. The producers selected the douchebag camry driver as a synonym of james may for the US version. If the dude has any sort of a personality, it could work.
no surprise there, haha. gawker sites and their readers have a tendency to be brutal people, myself included as i get a lot of my car news from jalopnik and my gadget news from gizmodo.
US Top Gear should pick Jay Leno and someone else who has lots of experiences about cars. Not a guy who drives a Toyota Camry Hybrid and host for the Home Improvement TV show. It doesn't matter how much experienced he is with the TV shows and all. He MUST has the clue about high performance cars.
BBC clearly hates Clarkson. Hence picking someone the totally opposite. Good looking, hybrid driver, ready to suck up and do what the producers tell him to do, basically goody Clarkson. First celebrity guest : Jamie Lee Curtis.
my perfect american top gear hosts are Jay Leno in for JC, mike spinelli in for Cap Slow and some short dude for hamm...a cool TT you say? there is one is called R8 :)
i think the tt is awesome i test drove it at a dealership and it was really nice. but i do thik it could use a little more power but its fine as is for a dayly driver if thats what you wnat to buy it for
about stealin gas.. i heard that a good way was to buy those numbers that u find on the pumps at a store like home depot, put the number 3 on a pump that is far away for example on a #9. go to the real # 3 pump. chill there and wait for some loser to go pay for gas on the number "3"{actually the number 9 number} and all u have to do is notice it and pump away... by the time anyone notices, ur at ur house!! jiggaboo jones tells it better...audi tt??? at least 350hp
Ha Ha sorry mat some of your stuff is good, most of it is mediocre. You don't even come close to anything top gear stands for. But keep it up, it might bring you further than you think.
Yeah I think some of your shows are really good. In particular I liked the super car weekend stuff. The stuff where you are just standing there in a cheep ass studio I find pretty boring. You talk like you have authority, but you don't (in the "studio" stuff) project authority. But hey, keep it up. Like you said, Im watching it.
You are probably not much into boats, but go down to Florida and get a ride with one of the nice nortech boats. Could be fun :)
For me, the Audi is kind of a chick car, but Ive noticed guys will put black rims on cars like that, and that makes it instantly a guy car. For example, put black rims on an Eclipse, BAM, guy car.
As far as stealing gas, I saw a video of a midget using someone else's pump while they arent looking, then replacing it. Look it up, funny.
The TT's lack of coolness isn't a horsepower issue, it due to sharing the same underpinnings as a Golf/Rabbit. the day Audi develops a new or better derived chassis for the car thats when it coolness consideration will arrive.
i think zr1 might get close to gtr and nsx might even go around the ring faster. and i like TTs even tho they r pretty slow stock but hey im one who like to make a slow car per say fast. but yea they r too rounded although the new ones r pretty uncute-ish. and mike is right about the engine
dude put a w16 quad turbo engine from the veyron. then, i'd fucking buy one. but honestly the new one is pretty sick looking. not at all a rainbow mobile like the old one.
I think the TT would need 300 hp, and loose a few pounds, and be rwd before I would consider it at all. I think it's an ok looking car though. Better than just anbother retro muscle car clone that is sure to handle like a brick.
if audi makes a tt-rs they need to change that awd system in order to make the car more fun. Audi designs the awd system with safety first, with rs models, the safety should be sacrificed for driving dynamics
for the Audi TT to be cool....400hp, similar to the most TVR's, and they're certainly just as curvy as the TT is. Also with respect to appearence of the TT, a very bold wing on the back would be an interesting contrast. It already has large rims and is well lowered. So perhaps a mean racing appearence with a large or medium-subtle wing on the back would make the Audi TT shed a little more impact on the eyes.
That's an excellent point. Germany's Sport Auto magazine is one of the first media outlets to keep track of cars' Nurburgring laptimes -- most of which were turned by the mag's editor-in-chief Horst von Saurma. The car companies use their respective chief test drivers, all of whom are arguably 'ring experts since so much of their prototype testing is done there. I'd love to see how they all stack up against each other in one car.
At least 400bhp would make the TT look cool. But seriously Audi cant give the TT-RS more then 400bhp because it would take sales from its R8. Audi TT-S has 270bhp so dont expect the RS to exceed 330-350bhp.
I like the way youre making your interviews/debates more entertaining and less formal. For lack of a better term, more Top Gear like. But you got the right idea, usfull information punctuated with a few laughs.
The media reports corporate movement away from pickups and towards smaller cars like a hail storm in the middle of July---this is neither surprising nor all that troubling economic news
I work at a supermarket in northern San Diego County. While working late one evening, a fellow employee and myself were out rounding up shopping carts in the parking lot when we discovered two illegals siphoning gas out of our delivery truck. We yelled at them and they took off like jackrabbits before we could get to them.(They siphoned 2 entire 5 gallon tanks, full to the top)We returned the empty tank with a slit in the bottom and encouaging messages in permamant ink. Tank was gone next day.
Audi TT I think will probably have the 2.5T. A package that no VW currently has. The 2.0T is a solid engine that took forever for VW/Audi to pick up. For the Audi TT to be cool, I would say a minimum of 335HP as well as no DSG tranny, flappy paddle gearboxes are great, if you are lazy.
Is horsepower what's wrong with the TT? The car post respectable performance within it's class. The TT would be cool if it went on a diet. Audi's have a tendancy to be heavy cars; most new cars are way too heavy. And the car is bulbous, not to be confused with boobous, although it is a possiblity so I decided to clarify. A stronger, leaner look would do wonders for this car. The car doesn't get the respect it deserves, but the fact that people talk about it shows the TT isn't so off the mark.
Hey man, sorry about you not getting the spot on US Top Gear man, but hey, you could always be a guest. I don't know if I could see a US Top Gear being terribly popular in the US and the big thing, like Jay Leno said, is that the Brits are very critical in their car reviews. I mean, you've all seen the way Clarkson will point out something he doesn't like in a car and most Americans don't really like that. Maybe it's just me, but I think I'd rather watch the BBC and see Clarkson drive a Peel.
the audi tt is great but it need more like 800hp with the awd maybe a twin turbo v8 or the diesl v10 if it would fit but the 4.2 v8 is pretty stout but when matching up with a zr1 or gtr it just not enough horsepower so it up to audi to make it a real good or just what the tt has always been a poser that wants to be a supercar if audi would just do the dam thing right the first time like the a6 then the tt would be a supercar but that's audi for you
4-5? lol were paying the equiv of $6.50 a gallon in australia. (1.50-1.60 a litre. 4 litres in a gallon and the 1 aussie dollar = 95 US cents) And its climbing, said to be $2 a litre by the end of the year beginning of next so thats what... around $8 a gallon by US standards... bring fucking hydrogen powered cells into place, hydrogen + oxygen = boom.
the tt can never be cool, it is too cute, too slow, way too much of a car for tools or twats. even with 600 hp, rear wheel drive only, a full roll cage and four turbos and a v12, it could never be cool. the more they try to make it cool, the worse it becomes.
I hope this isnt' true, but I think with the way gas prices are going, I think we are seeing the end of the boom of car advancment. People start buying cheaper cars, and keep them longer, which companies like ford, honda and GM will be making less cars and making crappier cheaper cars. I hope that is not true, when I get the cash, I want to be able to buy the next GTR of my time, and not a yaris.

the car used was a test car for the v-spec that had 595 horse power and weighed less than the stock gtr not to mention it should handle better since it has the power of awd, so yeah "big achievement duh!! lol
ralmone 3 years ago 2
incorrect, dyno test estimate 500bhp, and it was a standard gt-r. Handtimed by spectators, the v-spec proto which has "550hp" as nissan claims and is lighter did it in roughly 7:25. long time ago. The team still is working on it. the 7:29 was a normal gtr. But in all honesty, if with even a 121 extra hp and so much less weight it didnt manage anything special. Yes it doesnt have awd, but cmon. Its so much lighter. and more powerful and has fatter tires.

The BBC is producing the US Top Gear. They actually have to produce the pilot of the show also. So its not stolen.BBC World owns anything Top Gear so NBC would have to purchase a license or some sort to have a show here but related to the US market,Which they did. Its like every euro game show coming to america EG: Who wants to be a millionaire,Weakest Link,etc. Its the same as those.

In my opinion, the TT-RS needs a new chassis, a gold chassis just isnt good enough, a new chassis would be needed and maybe some "agro" "DTM" style body styling. Engine wise, 450bhp turbocharged v6 would be fine and dandy ;)

nope the gt-r will keep the amazing lap time.. if it gets beat, then it will reclaim it in 2010 when they amp up the engine and lighten the car for higher performance

I would have to agree with some people on the TT, but look at what Audi is. They are the luxury brand of VW, and the new lines are more aggressive then the TT of old, so a little more masculine. For the price they need to step up and make a car that guys who want to be more grown up then the STI and EVOX, they need to take their challenge from that. I agree, a 350hp Turbo 3.2 (VR6) would be nice. Same fun as the "performance" Lancer and WRX, but with the Audi comfort and luxury edge. AWD a must

On paper, James May is a shitty choice for Top gear. In practice, he offers a good counterpoint to the typical car guy. The producers selected the douchebag camry driver as a synonym of james may for the US version. If the dude has any sort of a personality, it could work.

For me, the Audi is kind of a chick car, but Ive noticed guys will put black rims on cars like that, and that makes it instantly a guy car. For example, put black rims on an Eclipse, BAM, guy car.
As far as stealing gas, I saw a video of a midget using someone else's pump while they arent looking, then replacing it. Look it up, funny.

The TT's lack of coolness isn't a horsepower issue, it due to sharing the same underpinnings as a Golf/Rabbit. the day Audi develops a new or better derived chassis for the car thats when it coolness consideration will arrive.

if audi makes a tt-rs they need to change that awd system in order to make the car more fun. Audi designs the awd system with safety first, with rs models, the safety should be sacrificed for driving dynamics
NotoriousRacer 3 years ago
for the Audi TT to be cool....400hp, similar to the most TVR's, and they're certainly just as curvy as the TT is. Also with respect to appearence of the TT, a very bold wing on the back would be an interesting contrast. It already has large rims and is well lowered. So perhaps a mean racing appearence with a large or medium-subtle wing on the back would make the Audi TT shed a little more impact on the eyes.

mickvk 3 years ago
That's an excellent point. Germany's Sport Auto magazine is one of the first media outlets to keep track of cars' Nurburgring laptimes -- most of which were turned by the mag's editor-in-chief Horst von Saurma. The car companies use their respective chief test drivers, all of whom are arguably 'ring experts since so much of their prototype testing is done there. I'd love to see how they all stack up against each other in one car.

At least 400bhp would make the TT look cool. But seriously Audi cant give the TT-RS more then 400bhp because it would take sales from its R8. Audi TT-S has 270bhp so dont expect the RS to exceed 330-350bhp.

Audi TT I think will probably have the 2.5T. A package that no VW currently has. The 2.0T is a solid engine that took forever for VW/Audi to pick up. For the Audi TT to be cool, I would say a minimum of 335HP as well as no DSG tranny, flappy paddle gearboxes are great, if you are lazy.

BACARED83 3 years ago
Is horsepower what's wrong with the TT? The car post respectable performance within it's class. The TT would be cool if it went on a diet. Audi's have a tendancy to be heavy cars; most new cars are way too heavy. And the car is bulbous, not to be confused with boobous, although it is a possiblity so I decided to clarify. A stronger, leaner look would do wonders for this car. The car doesn't get the respect it deserves, but the fact that people talk about it shows the TT isn't so off the mark.

Hey man, sorry about you not getting the spot on US Top Gear man, but hey, you could always be a guest. I don't know if I could see a US Top Gear being terribly popular in the US and the big thing, like Jay Leno said, is that the Brits are very critical in their car reviews. I mean, you've all seen the way Clarkson will point out something he doesn't like in a car and most Americans don't really like that. Maybe it's just me, but I think I'd rather watch the BBC and see Clarkson drive a Peel.
