Default TopGear coming to America

I've heard from numerous people that TopGear will indeed finally be coming to the US on Discovery Channel. (maybe HD sweet). I don't believe the episodes will be the same as BBC's in fact, they are filmed seperatly, but never-the-less this is a huge step forward for us US fans of the series.

I believe the episode's coming are actually not just the one's from the UK rather original ones. Apperantly a lot less effort is put into them ( 1 hr. recording time vs. 3-4 hours), and the editing is supposed to be pretty iffy, but hey what the hell?

This will be some of the most interesting television ever created. Jeremy Clarkson....... talking about American cars and to American people. He'll probably get tons of hate mail.
