....but I freakin' love this thing, they pulled the top gear clip off already where it was featured yesterday but this has bonus footage and it's dope, i especially love the clips of it driving around downtown looking like a building on wheels

I liked the explosion part too, instead of the truck blowing up it dug a hole with the explosives New UK Top Gear started yesterday, new US Top Gear starts the 24th of July

I dl'ed TG last night and watched it this morning. Rather than comparing it to a H3 Hummer, they should have used a H1. The H3 is too civilian.

definitely, the h3 was a glorified silverado basically, not much of a comparison when stacked up against a military grade vehicle like this. I would have been curious to see how the H1 handled the explosion in comparison as well.

Not so sure about civilian

Here's their website, they even list fighter jets and such on there

edit: just looked at some more RG's online, they do bear a striking resemblance for sure.

RG, MRAP... Yep, that's pretty much a Mil-Spec vehicle painted orange...

Pretty cool though
