AMEN!! Aside from Tanner Foust, the hosts suck. Do you know who those other two guys are?

Anybody ever got this to work?

Although if it's cold enough out, sometimes even slamming the door won't work...I once did that and the hatch didn't pop open, so this girl next to me in the parking lot looks at me and says, "Uh, are you okay?" I'm like, "Yeah, why?" Totally didn't realize why until later

Tanner Foust sucks too, and no, nobody knows who the other two are.

I thought I heard a few years back that Adam Carolla was supposed to be on the American version of Top Gear. It may have had a chance then.

Very nice! I'm hooked on the color, it is very rare. I've noticed a few other cars now come in that color, including new Jettas (but not the sportwagon) and some Lexus's. It would be cool to have a set. How about a Glacier Tourag for a tow rig?

I did not know about other current cars using the same color. Very interesting. Here are a couple more that I just found. I guess I could have the only one with the factory installed Turbo sticker.
