Not a bad episode on the whole, even if it did turn out to be Bond Cars with Richard Hammond. Better than I expected at least. That last part with Ben Collins was quite funny though. I was just waiting for Hammond to have a jab at him like that.
It's on iPlayer right now too if you missed it.

Having recently re-watched a couple of the early, better episodes, I want to see TG revisit their first, cheap car challenge; cars for £100. 8 years on, what can they buy and how does it stack up to the Audi, Rover and Volvo of the original?

I do love the cheap car challenges, like the police car one, the limos, italian supercars etc
I think TG does need to go back to the original formulae, I think now they are trying too hard to film ridiculous things like fighting chinese stigs that will make people laugh which just ends up a bit cringy, rather than coming up with good entertaining challenges and letting it unfold.

Top Gear have been spotted in 'merica with a LFA, a SRT Viper (don't know if it's the new one, hope it is) and a Vanquish .challenge is apparently rumored to be from Vegas to Mexico ,love the super car road trip episodes so already cant wait for that one.

They've already done one based in pacific time, and the other was based in eastern time. If anything, the third should go down the middle, if the US is their main target. The Rockies would be very interesting.
Like I said, Canada would make an interesting change.

It's episode 0 of series 16. I still remember how I fell out of my chair on that scene!

Top Gear started to upload full episodes on their official YouTube website.

Canada (Y). I wonder which other British colonies they haven't blocked.

I'm not sure whether those comments would be a good representation of the majority of Top Gear viewers...

It's BBC. We in the UK pay quite a substantial amount of money each year to have the BBC. Why should someone in another country get what we have to pay for, for free?

Then why upload to YOUTUBE if nobody except you can see it? The world is quite big, you know?
BBC is simply "trolling" the world.
I have lost all respect for them, and unsubscribed from their channel...like thousands of people did in the last 2-3 days.

No, they are putting past shows, online, for the people who pay for them. What's wrong with that? If you want to watch them for free then I'm sure there are loads of sites where you can get them.
If you payed $200 a year for a channel in Canada, and we got all that they shown on that channel for nothing, would you not see that as a bit unfair?

There's a little website called http://www.topgear.com/uk/
If they uploaded new videos only there nobody would have cared.

Then why decide to care because they put them somewhere else, you couldn't watch them before, you can't watch them now, nothing's changed. Why should your viewpoint?
The reason they used YouTube, I think, is because people may have been searching a lot for "Top Gear". So they put past episodes up, but if they had let everyone have access to them, then we in the UK would have gone mental, and pretty understandably. The license fee is quite high, and if you don't pay it, you face charges.

Everybody cares because BBC never did this before, on youtube!!
"people".... which 80-90% of them are outside UK.

All of the sudden BBC don't want to see the number of subscribers grow anymore? That's fine with me.
