Looks like tonight's show will have the ZR1 and the Challenger in it ... can't really make out the third one that will be in with them, but ... (could that be a G8?)

Lights would fit, top radiator intake would too, but lower bumper part doesn't fit .. Oh well, we'll know tonight or tomorrow ;) Also, it's in the section "muscle car", not sure if they'd put a Cadillac in that ;) At least it's no Mustang :lol:

CTS-V after all ...

They're totally nuts ... parking the ZR1 and the Challenger alongside a couple cars, and setting of the other cars' alarms by revving their engines :lol:

Quick quote from the end of the road trip:

"We came here wondering if America had finally made a car that might actually work in the civilized world. The answer is no, they haven't. As you can see from our smiles, they've made three!"

I guess that's one of the rare moment where Top Gear was positive about US-made cars ...
