Just saw it on my FB page too, can't wait to see. If its anything like like his written reviews,they are going to love it.

Shall we start guessing at lap times? I'm going to guess 01:30.6

tdoggy57 02-10-2013 08:57 AM

Wow, so much hate on that facebook post. The sad and ignorant world we live in.

Theres a few haters, but the majority of comments are positive. There are haters for every car out there.

Maybe tonight's episode will educate some of these haters, they may be singing a different tune tomorrow.

BRZnut 02-10-2013 10:28 AM

How do we get to see this in the US?

SaiBorg 02-10-2013 10:31 AM

if north american guys want to watch it live as it stream from the BBC iPlayer, use this plugin for firefox, chrome. it'll let you in without any other steps. best plugin besides adblocker http://hola.org/unblocker.html

blackraven1425 02-10-2013 10:52 AM

You can also watch it on BBC if you have the channel. It's on at 9PM EST tomorrow.

Fnbeast86 02-10-2013 10:55 AM

Ok so u.s is tommorow at 9;)

Ninjin 02-10-2013 11:03 AM

Are the BBC America airings still a week behind or did they catch up?

Also, I'm prepared for a depressing 1:32-1:33 on the test track.

Glad the cars are finally getting coverage. The lap time won't be phenomenal but Clarkson does seem to like the car.

All we need is a tow dolly and an aerial atom v8 fixed with a tow hitch. That will fix that lap time issue! I am excited to see what they have to say Toyota is the largest sponsor for American top gear so their review was literally a commercial...

NZ is a week behind, so we got to watch episode 2 last night.

At the end: "Top Gear takes a break next week for coverage of the cricket."

Nooooo!

Nevermore 02-10-2013 12:13 PM

I see a bunch of comments calling it ugly. Are they blind?

Some of those reactions on facebook are hilarious...

Let's just hope it doesn't randomly accelerate and kill you.

Drove the BRZ, not impressed. It's 2/3rds of a great car. Get back to me when it can actually out-accelerate a V6 Accord.

Hope the gas peddle doesn't get stuck

why have you got to screem around the track smoking the tyres like a brainless idiot, sensible drivers on the road dont drive like that so why give the prats that are out there that it is ok to do it and lad up killing other people which include children.

zenki_levin 02-10-2013 01:12 PM

Haha, someone even said that the pagani zonda is so much better then the gt86. Yea but it costs like $500k more, those people are mad.

I love top gear a ton, but their opinion on what looks good and what doesn't always surprises me. I'd would not take that bit of criticism as anything serious, looks are way too subject anyways. Though if Clarkson loves how it drives, that is saying something because he prefers cars that have a sole and are fun over other performance aspects.

Zaku 02-10-2013 02:09 PM

BBC America I think Air it the next day now, so tomorrow

FRiSson 02-10-2013 02:15 PM

What if Clarkson doesn't like it. Will we have to endure pages of teeth gnashing and outcrying of some of the more insecure members of this forum?

Uh I'm thinking slim chance of that:

wrxgoose 02-10-2013 02:17 PM

but we already know he likes it. he did a segment on it in the past.

The same Clarkson that all ready loved it in "The Worst Car in the History of the World" special? I doubt he will be hating on it much.

BRZnut 02-10-2013 03:38 PM

looks like BBC America has it every monday night but it is one week behind.

ayau 02-10-2013 03:40 PM

Why does it matter if Clarkson likes it or not? You guys make it seem like he's the be all end all for car reviews.

I'm more interested in seeing which twin is faster around the track.

iTunes will have it a week or so later as well

OnkelC 02-10-2013 03:52 PM

Clarkson, so far, has loved the GT 86, no real worries here.

Stig...in...86!!

wrxgoose 02-10-2013 04:20 PM

i'm gonna be checking this thread all day waiting to see what the time it runs. someone post it when it gets done please? (gonna be at work)


or send me a PM, so as not to ruin it for everyone else.

NemesisPrime909 02-10-2013 04:25 PM

it was a great ep and clarkson's opinions i think, are actually on the money save for the "looks" as those are subjective

Smitty_89 02-10-2013 04:27 PM

I watched the episode as it aired on BBC 2.



SPOILER!!! highlight text below to see
He loved it. It ran a 1.31 If I remember correctly.
