Got a question, why are the Top Gear boys back in America again?
Although the Sebring convertible is quite horrible, the PT Cruiser convertible is even worse. Saw one driving in front of me today, it made me feel pretty sick. | | | | | Contributor

They were in the U.S. recently testing out American peformance cars. Clarkson, Hammond and May have been spotted at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah testing three of the hottest American cars on the market. Last week they they were spotted in Reno with the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. It seems that we can see a full episode dedicated to American cars on Top Gear soon.
So far Top Gear hasn’t been very generous when it comes to American cars and positive comments. Soon we’ll see can these three American cars change Clarkson’s view on American cars or not. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

The ZR1 looks very tasty.
I am surprised to see James May dressing like half his age. | | | | | Trendsetter

Attention Walmart shoppers.
The funny thing about Clarkson and his American-bashing is he looks like one of those guys you'd expect to see at Disneyland eating a chili dog with fries and extra large Coke -- I imagine he secretly wishes he was a Texas oil baron  | | | | | Fanatic

Some of the comments are great  and others just plain amusing Quote:
Chryslers in general are to America what dental health and English food are to Britain. Enjoyed the article!

No one ever claimed the Sebring is good. It doesn't sell. At all.
But that's the German's fault. Daimler is responsible for the Sebring. On the other hand GM's midsize sedan the Malibu is the best in it's class. It 's basically a good looking Passat for thousands less.

Jeremy, I'm shattered to read that you think that the Sebring Cabriolet is the worst car in the world.
Back in 2003 on Top Gear, you, Hammond and May all gave that rating to the Lexus SC430.
Now I can no longer proudly boast that I drive the worst car in the world.

Clearly "Frederick" has no clue about Chrysler, Chevy or VW.

Mr. Clarkson,
While I agree that the Sebring (and Avenger) are terrible cars, I take issue with how we (in the U.S.) have no sense of history- need I remind you that Germans were running Chrysler when this car was designed and released?
