VIDEO: Top Gear teases new season in childish fashion
Click above to watch the video after the jump
Season 13 of Top Gear is just around the corner, and the crew isn't wasting any opportunity to build buzz before the Sunday, June 21 air date of the first episode. Perhaps in a nod to the BBC's much-publicized pay cuts or the franchise's new children's magazine, the video above doesn't really incorporate Jeremy Clarkson, James May, or Richard Hammond in its promotional footage... or does it? Click through to the jump to hit the spot. Thanks for the tip, Egils!

That's freaky, earlier I commented a speed dot com video on YouTube video about the SL Black Series saying about how I hope Top Gear test it.
I agree, must need to see.

That was actually adult Stig. He can change his size on command.

When will it be on iTunes or BBC America? Or more importantly, why do US car shows suck?!?!?!

Do it like the rest of us and just get it off torrents or via links hosted with various services (Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc)

US car shows suck because it's all about not offending sponsors.
US networks never criticize anything...it might affect cash flow...can't have that.
To get a hint, listen to NASCAR drivers...their idiot plugs for their sponsors in every single camera appearance are one of the saddest low points in American racing.
But, at least we have TG to show usd what can be done properly.

Mentioning Nascar and racing in the same sentence... tsk tsk.
Blacksabre 4:12PM (6/15/2009)
Yeah, I know...
But I remember when Junior Johnson and Smokey Yunick really did race, and didn't kiss sponsor ass doing it.
