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] The NSX was an Exotic Car, the ASCC is just a Sports Car!

Yesterday, I blogged about the "forgotten." Today I will blog about the one we'll never forget. The original NSX!

Here is a great video from youTube.com, the clip features:
- part of the original NSX commercial,
- shows the legendary Ayrton Senna driving the car he helped build,
- NSX dragging against a Porsche,
- NSX-R vs. GT-R, &
- Top Gear's black Stig on a wet track in the NSX!

Great soundtrack too...



I think Honda/Acura should stop messing around with the NSX's replacement. The Advanced Sports Car Concept (ASCC) replacing the NSX is a joke. The NSX was "special," there is nothing special about the ASCC!

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?
