It's a great little snippet. Can't wait to watch the full episode on tv. I do hope GM can pull their heads out of their a$$es financially so we Americans can push on in our own style. I really do like a LOT of what GM is offering across may price ranges. The Cobalt SS (while a snore on style) is a great performing car, Malibu great value, Camaro awesome, Vette all hail, Cadillac back to it's old school levels of cool.

Don't know. Maybe it's on the new TopGear.com site with a BBC America Schedule. They're showing 08' episodes now.

I love both cars and would not mind owning either (I am not counting the Challenger, slow) I love what many of the american performace cars are doing right now. I will enjoy it while it lasts. After the video was over it had a edmunds.com video of the ZR1 spanking a GT-R in pretty much every test. Gotta love American power and enginuity!!!!

The sad thing is that in many ways American automotive engineering is at it's peak. The Vettes are no longer just "good for the money", they are flat out bomb ass . . . and relatively cheap in the company they keep. I really want the American makers to survive, but it's gotta be under the right conditions, and taxpayer subsidization of Unions and management stupidity ain't gonna cut it.
