    Hey Guys and Gals,

    I had forgot that the "new" season of Top Gear started on BBC America on Monday, so I just watched the premiere on OnDemand.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like this was an old episode? I went to the BBC America wbesite and they did, indeed have it listed as the premiere of the new season.

    I mean, they had the comparison of the 911, M6, and Vantage V8 and the premise was that the V8 Vantage was a brand new model and they were seeing how it stacked up against the others.

    The 911 they used, definitely was not the newest version and they talked like the M6 was also a brand new model.

    They showed the board with all the lap times and a lot of cars were missing. Namely, the just-tested Veyron or the Pagani that had edged it out.

    So, am I the only one who thought that this "new" episode looked like it was from 2005?

    From your message it looks like an old episode. I think they're recording the new episodes now

    When we get top gear here in the US were about 1-2 years behind. I got sick of being behind and watched all the seasons on youtube.
