No Ford commercials.
Yep, got 'em all. The actual british version of Top Gear is way better. They don't edit out all of the american bashing they do when it airs on the US BBC channels. So you know how they really feel.
Fifth gear was also pretty good, at least until the most recent season. And the new Top Gear Australia... kinda lame.

Plus, the news segment is there, the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment is there. Top Gear is just over an hour long without commercials. So, when they air it here, they have the same one hour time slot...but need to cut it down to 43 minutes for commercials.

It's a good show. The Stig adds a little mystique although I'm not entirely convinced of their objectivity. Fun to watch them do crazy stuff like drive half-assed stretches through tight London streets. Also liked the race they did with the fighter - Eurofighter Typhoon vs a Bugatti - well worth a watch on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NZ9X9A2efA

I love Top Gear. I'm a big Captain Slow fan.
They rip America a lot, but Clarkson genuinely fell in love with the ZR1 (as he says, "A super car with a proper manual transmission!").
I can't wait wait until they give it a run on the Top Gear track.
