        Also US has a great episode 2.

        Re-testing their first cars.
        Testing their first dream cars
        Pawn stars in the resonably priced cars.

        One of the first cars is a VW




        Also in the UK e-car review, you will spot a black mk6 and a red audi.

            There were very few brought in to Australia.
            From memory they cost you quite a bit now and due to their age have some relaiability/rust issues.

            Shame since they are cool as hell.

                Yeah there's a handful rolling around Australia. I think they weren't ever sold here; the ones that are here were privately imported. They used the model name "Caddy" though.

                  If you want a MK6 Caddy you could Import one of these from Brazil.....

                  or the Polo version (also Brazilian)

                      Rowan Atkinson had a regular column in Car magazine back in the early '90s (when it was easily the best english language car magazine in the world - other columnists in that period included Alexi Sayle, PJ O'Rourke and James May).

                      His lap certainly looked like he had a fair bit of racing experience.

                        TopGear Us S2 Ep 4 is out now.

                        Testing the toughest domestic 4x4's in Death Valley.
                        Hilarious episode with a lot of laughs, very few visibly scripted jokes.

                              Yeah... they seriously need to get some better stars. I mean, the USA is full of internationally known stars, and who do they get on Top Gear? Some lady who was in 3 episodes of Torchwood!? I mean seriously...

                                In all honesty, i would just ditch the star segment and do another challenge for the first few seasons until it becomes popular enough to get valid stars who people actually know/care about.

                                With their 48minute episodes the star part takes up way too much time and i just skip it (even the uk one most of the time)

                                Apparnetly hte Australian version also started last night or something but who even watches that cr4p.
                                Mightycarmods is much more entertaining.
