Great show yet oh-so--depressing...why? Because the European market cars are so much better than the American ones--nearly every normal car they review from even the 2009 episodes are available with diesel engines and get 40+ mpg easily--and that is for larger sedans!
They rag on American cars because they are quite laughable. Heavy, ugly, and inefficient with comparitively massive-displacement engines that make paltry horsepower that could be made with half the displacement.
Great, and highly entertaining show for those who love cars!
