Hey guys. I couldn't post this while I was up in Canada for two weeks or when it all started since TST was down, but still wanted to share what we've been up to on the Top Gear America site.

Teaser video;

Reveal video;
http://www.topgear.com/us/videos/mor...ency-meets-fun

First feature, written by Dave Coleman of SCC Technobabble fame;
http://www.topgear.com/us/features/m...d-a-70-mpg-car

And the most recent feature;
http://www.topgear.com/us/features/m...ion-er-regina/

Let me know what you think of it all! I think it's an awesome build, and we'll be getting a lot more tech-y with the features in the coming weeks.

Thanks, I'm glad Dave Coleman is writing, he's doing a great job. I'll be writing the tech stuff and the photos will be getting better too

I've been with the US site since a few months before launch, my current title is "Editorial Assistant." Basically do writing, photography, updating the site, etc. Projects like this make it all the cooler.

That's awesome! Best of luck!

It burns me up inside that we can't get any of the higher mpg vehicles they have across the pond-
DEREGULATE DAMNIT, I'll worry about what I want in a car, insanely high MPG, no ABS, bumpers that fold under 5mph taps, and the obvious expelling of more C02 then China on a hot humid day! O and I would like it to be semi fun to drive around in.
