A new season of what is perhaps the only mainstream automotive production worth paying any attention to begins Sunday. Top Gear returns with a new season May 7th on BBC Two. While this is great news for our friends across the pond, it doesn’t do much for us here in North America. Sure, folks will bootleg the TV show on internet video services, but it’s just not the same. Of course, the Americanized version of Top Gear is set to air on Discovery some time soon, but that’s no substitute for Clarkson & Co. If we’re lucky, perhaps a TV station here will eventually pick the show up. Until then, it’s YouTube for most Americans, we imagine.
