Top Gear China?

Top Gear China Hosts
Well, Top Gear UK won't be back 'til June and we'll have died of waiting by then. Well, I'm here to announce that another country has gotten in on the Top Gear franchise: China. Yep! New to the list of international productions including Australia, Russia, Germany, Albania, and the U.S., China has recently gotten their hands on the franchise that is Top Gear. The show has three petrolhead hosts, as usual, doing Top Gear races against, say, a donkey and a Cadillac,  fast car reviews including one with the China-Exclusive BMW M3 E92 Tiger Edition, and even a star in a reasonably priced car. Obviously, the whole show is in Chinese, so if you're english, you won't understand anything. But, the heartwarming thing is, there is no foreign translation in any language for the word "STIG". Yes, Chinese STIG is here with his own need for speed. What's interesting is he's not even wearing his favorite Diamondback helmet. Anyway, he has his own playground their in which he can test his cars, but it's more like a custom-built racetrack than an airfield racetrack. But, what makes this version of Top Gear special is that it actually looks interesting, unlike boring US Top Gear. Check out what the Chinese are up to below.
