Editorial Reviews
With over 10 awards to its name and a U.S. spin-off in the works, Top Gear is showing no signs of slowing down. The fourteenth series kicks off with a driver's idea of heaven when Richard and James take an Aston DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of 'the greatest road in the world'. Elsewhere, James makes a rare appearance on the track as he compares two absurdly powerful limos; Jeremy and Richard settle the thorny issue of which company has made the greatest number of truly brilliant cars and Richard invents the brand new sport of airport vehicle racing. Celebrities taking a turn in the 'Star in the Reasonably Priced Car' :Hulk actor Eric Bana, Hollywood's hottest new property—Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen and RocknRolla director Guy Ritchie, who seems to have a little trouble with his gears!

Season fourteen of Top Gear was cram packed with danger, laughs, and excitement, one of the best seasons thus far!
Seven full length episodes (run time approximately 406 minutes for 7 episodes, special features run about 80 minutes), along with audio commentary from their South American Special (hilarious!), behind the scenes Celeb in the reasonably priced car, and many other extras.
My favorite episode had to be episode two when they decided to build their own electric car that would be better than the G-Qiz... laughed so much I started to cry.
Season fourteen can not be missed by Top Gear fans, and with the Blu-ray picture and audio quality, you just can't go wrong!

An incredible opening segment with Richard driving a Lexus LFA, the new Lexus supercar. They used some funky graphics / animation to go along with the driving. The crazy part of this car, it costs 300,000 pounds and really is just outrageously too expensive. The Stig takes it around the track and posts a remarkable time.
The news is funny, since they recorded the show in December, and this is the New Year's show, they had to talk about the car that they liked the most in 2011. They got a bit caught up in what the actual date was, given the pre-recording.
Jeremy drives a BMW X6, all over the world. The segment is pretty darn funny given all the locations for this review. The guys all end up agreeing that the car makes no sense, it is horribly expensive, not a good off road vehicle, and not a good road vehicle. They think a Range Rover is a much better vehicle. There's a funny moment on a grassy hill where the BMW won't even stay parked. In a round about way Jeremy does another America bashing moment. The X6 is designed for the US, not Europe and certainly not England. I'd also stand that BMW up on reliability any day of the week against the Rover. They did edit this one up for the BMW to look really stupid.
The star in a reasonably priced car is a singer Seasick Steve. Steve is a traditional country blues artist that was living in England in 2010. He has some unusual homemade instruments, and shows off a pretty cool guitar made from hubcaps. His lap around the track was almost expected to not be great. He loves cars, but mostly from the 50's.
The end of the show was the annual awards show. This is always a lot of fun and never serious. Some good laughs here.
Nov. 11, 2012 Update: This series of reviews was published when Amazon allowed each episode to be reviewed individually. They are now lumped into a single product listing. I have added the Episode Number to the title.

The opening segment is Richard running a race with airport vehicles to determine which is the fastest, and therefore the basis for all airport vehicles. You see, the vehicles at airports are really slow, and if they would just move faster, planes would leave faster, and there would be shorter delays at airports. I split a guy over this opening segment.
The news was pretty odd; Jeremy talked about how a newspaper article said they didn't allow homosexuals in the audience. Pay close attention to the background audience.
Jeremy then drove three SUV's. Of course he hated the non-British vehicles, a BMW and an Audi. He loved the Range Rover. No Jeremy doesn't wear his British-ness on his sleeve ever. Both the BMW and Audi couldn't ever really do any off roading, but the Range Rover could - that made the Rover the better vehicle (never mind that SUV's almost never go off roading anyway). They then showed a customizers version of the Range Rover, with some very cool additions.
The Stig drove the two SUV's. He almost flipped one of them. The times were particularly bad as expected.
Mr. Madonna - oh, no I mean, Guy Ritchie was the star in the reasonably priced car. The interview was kind of lame. As would be expected Ritchie is a lot of talk and not much in the pants.
The show closes with one of Jeremy's best reviews ever. He responds to a letter from a viewer that says Top Gear's reviews are never useful to the normal person. Jeremy goes to Ireland to drive a Renault Sport Twingo (a very souped up subcompact car about the size of a Nissan Versa). There are a few moments of the Fiat 500 Abrath for comparison; cool considering this was filmed in 2009. This is a remarkably funny review.
So far season 14 is shaping up to be one of the better seasons of Top Gear.

Top Gear UK
I've loved Top Gear UK since about the 7th season. I then went back and watched the previous ones. Other than Season 1 which is an absolute abomination they are all decent. Read more

Top Gear is great!
The great thing about the Top Gear seasons is that if you have seen the episodes on US TV you get quite a bit more on the DVD. The DVD is a full hour per episode.

Top Gear 14 didn't disappoint. It was fully of zany car action, crazy racing, speed and great laughs as the boys put a new batch of vehicles to the test....their kind of test. Read more
