Unfortunately it was only for the first 2 minutes. They don't compare real cars anymore. You can also tell that whatever Tanner drives will win cause the other two guys are so bad at driving. They're good for entertainment though.

It was the American Top Gear, not the hateful British version.

I saw it there and it was only on there for maybe 30 seconds. In my opinion American top gear needs to stop doing just the challenges with older car and starting doing reviews, news, and new car challenges.

Top Gear UK actually did a 30 sec on the hot wheels edition of the Camaro and even Hammond(a huge muscle head) made fun of it. I don't disagree with them what's the point of making a copy of a model's model?!? Plus I would never buy a car with silly hot wheels badges on it.

American Top Gear blows. BBC all the way. The British guys talk shit about the American cars, and most of the time they're right. American cars are expensive and look at what you get. Plastic and more plastic.

Can't tell if you're being a troll or just utterly retarded.

Over the last 5 years this has been slowly changing with GM and ford. Over the last 2 years it's changed extremely with Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep products. By 2020. I think american cars will be on the same playing field as german and asian cars.

Great examples of great quality american cars.
Cadillac ATS
Chevy Sonic (For price)
Ford edge
Ford focus ST
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Chrysler 300
Dodge Dart

These cars aren't on the list based on paper stats. They're here for build quality, overall quality to price and features for the money. This list is incomplete but represent cars that car coming along nicely.

The next gen camaro is slated to built on the ATS chassis, which just earned "North American car of the year" and has beat BMW 3 series in comparos. Something that has never happened. BMW's price increases, weakening of motors, and commanding extremely high prices for common performance stats on status quo quality interiors won't earn them stellar reviews over this coming generation. American cars are now seeing a resurgence they haven't seen in 40 years.

their are still models that need work but watch over the next 7 years.
