Top Gear reviewing Acuras?

The hit British motoring show, Top Gear, could be heading its way to the United States. There are reports that the "show will be fronted by current presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May." Also, no one can forget the Stig. The format of the show will be similar to the British version, however geared more towards "American" cars, such as Cadillacs. This also could include Acuras, as it is mostly a North American brand that is slowly spreading to the rest of the world. The show will also have US stars test their driving skills.

A spokeswoman for the BBC confirmed that BBC Worldwide - the corporation's commercial arm - had been in talks, but could not confirm details.

In November 2005 it won an international Emmy award for the best non-scripted entertainment show.

Last month an estimated eight million people tuned in to see the last episode in the series - BBC Two's largest audience for 10 years.

[Video] 2007 Acura MDX Review

The Acura MDX is an important vehicle for Acura because it makes up 30% of Acura's sales. The Fuel Show reviewed the new generation 2007 Acura MDX. They commented on the car's aggressive look, saying maybe it's "too aggressive." They also think the SUV is heavy. However, they were impressed with how the vehicle felt secure on the roads and that it's "basically an RL with a big set of tires and wheels." One of the commentators commented about the solid fit and finish, saying that his 1-year old was able to grab onto the DVD screen in the back and how it didn't come apart.

Curb Appeal = 3.25/5

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson in NSX

I love the British motoring show Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson is ridiculously funny! When I heard he drove an NSX, I was worried that he was going to trash talk the car like he does with most cars (you can find out if he does or doesn't below). Like most Top Gear car reviews, they turn it into a game, actually for this one they used a game. Clarkson drove an NSX in Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 2, then he went to the actual track and tried to match or beat his time in real life! Was he able to do it?
