| I had a hard time watching it, since he ran a V6 Convertible Mustang against the horse and introduced it as a 300hp V8 (it had single exhaust, no fogs in the grille and no GT emblem anywhere), then he said the GT-500 had a 4.6L!!!!! Or saying the C6 had a 5.7L when they've run 6.0L and 6.2L engines but never the old 5.7L. Jeremy's usually bang on, but he fumbled that video, probably knowing the chances a fat American would watch it are slim. And it helps if the guys you're racing to the top of the hill aren't complete morons. |

This is pretty much the best description ever of a car:
"Driving this is like going out with a really good mate, having a good laugh, always up for a party; trouble is, he does like to kill people with axes occasionally. And knowing that, you're never really going to relax..."
He said that about the Viper.

Haha that video was fucking awesome :thumbup:
Top Gear is definetly one of the best things to ever come out of England. Nice to see he mentions 7:43 in the Z06 around the Nurburgring, the Viper did it in just over 8 with 500,000kms haha. One was just chilling in the parking lot surrounded by Porsche's & BMW's. |

| Pretty straight forward message really. Pretty much every American car in production today is a pile of crap. Really its all about cutting costs and trying to make a profit for North American companies. It doesnt matter that Clarkson messed up a few of the details. Do you really think a Escalade would make it up a hill faster then Land Rover?? |

why cant they test the tahoe or sumthing
i mean the escalade has 20's with street tires for christ sake lol
tahoe would be a little more balanced |

I hardly think a TJ is as luxury as a Range Rover. |

but it would have won :P |

| beeb |
| its possible but the point of the video was not finding american cars that can win "races" persay... notice the Z06, they say.. yes its fast.. its very very very fast.. however its garbage on the road.. so its not a proper car |

No. Not a chance. I'm just saying the guy driving that Caddy either fell asleep or was drunk.
TG is still my favorite show of all time. |

The tj is not in the same class as the land rover. Remember he is doing the euro counterparts of north american models.
Great vid btw. Anything any of the top gear guys do is great. |

top gear is great, but i think that comparing a vehicles luxury is stupid since escalades were really never meant to go off roading. i can see why the hummer was chosen, but even then, a grand cherokee would have been a better choice probably |

what i'm wondering is why the escalade decided to take a left turn off the nice wide worn path, and into a vertical incline where it got stuck.
i think the land rover would have gotten stuck there as well. |
