You're right, I believe it was an 05 Z and they destroyed it.

yeah they only help a picture of what looked like a 37 with the roof chopped (it did look pretty bad) and gave it a good laugh. never tested it though. you might want to look into the american top gear. never got into it but they could have.

Every once in awhile I'll be flipping through the channels and accidentally turn on the american top gear....then be extremely disappointed.....it just isn't the same.

Same here. They just dont have the same chemistry and they dont seem to be car people the way that UK top gear guys are.

Clarkson also didn't like it for a lot of other reasons.
lol I think the g37 looks amazing stock

U.S. Top Gear def sucks.
They took BBC Top Gear, stripped out most of the car reviews and turned every episode in to one long asinine 3 car challenge.
No thanks.

Angry Us top gear

Agreed I watched the first season and thought it started out okay. However, they never seem to test enough cars, talk about car related things, and the 3 car challenges are just stupid. I don't watch it I wish they would either cancel it or just make the show interesting
Test drive some of the new cars and stop playing grab ***

They mentioned the new G37 coupe years back in the NEWS. They laughed at the bodystyle.
