The crew from Top Gear UK, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, are out in Nevada with no less than a Dodge Challenger SRT8, a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and a 2009 Corvette ZR1, according to the forum fanboys over at FinalGear. The boys arrived in San Francisco on Wednesday and apparently proceeded to Reno where they were snapped hopping into their respective rides for what we can only assume will be an "America, Fuck Yeah" edition of Top Gear.

EXCLUSIVE: US Top Gear To Put Howie Mandel And Melanie B In Reasonably-Priced Kia Rio
Well folks, we've now heard from two separate sources that the reasonably-priced car that Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer will drop stars behind the wheel of will be none other than the Kia Rio. But that's not all we've learned. Our sources also tell us the first two stars to sit behind the wheel will be the Dealin' Howie Mandel and Spice Girl Melanie B. And with that choice, the producers have now set aside any questions about whether they'll be kowtowing to the needs of the network. But hey, we've got an added surprise for you — some on-set pictures that have come by way of the Motive Mag/VWVortex Car Lounge. Remember, if you happen to be on-set tomorrow, snag us some shots.

Who Is Eric Stromer?
As part of our coverage of the announcement of the Top Gear USA pilot, we've put together a special feature on each of the three co-hosts. First was Adam Carolla, then Tanner Foust and lastly, Eric Stromer. Meet Eric Stromer, recently announced member of our Top Gear USA host trio and lover of the Toyota Camry hybrid. He's certainly got a pretty face — looks made for TV, but who is this guy? Does he have the chops to make it as a host on the American imported version of our beloved Top Gear franchise? Does he whiten his teeth? All fair questions. More » -

Who Is Tanner Foust?
As part of our coverage of the announcement of the Top Gear USA pilot, we've put together a special feature on each of the three co-hosts. First was Adam Carolla. Next up is Tanner Foust. Nobody is questioning whether Tanner Foust can drive or not; he's already proven himself a pro hot-shoe having won a gold medal at the 2007 X-Games Rally and a championship in the 2007 Formula Drift series. He's also had experience in front of the lens, which is a good start, but will he be able to deliver wit on par with Clarkson, Hammond, and May, or will he be a silent Stig? More » -

Who Is Adam Carolla?
As part of our coverage of the announcement of the Top Gear USA pilot, we've put together a special feature on each of the three co-hosts. Believe it or not, Adam Carolla might actually know something about cars. Good thing, especially since he's going to be one of a trio of Top Gear USA hosts. Will his unenthusiastic enthusiasm help carry Top Gear to new and more 'merican heights, like Steve Carrell did with The Office? To better answer that question we look to his curriculum vitae below the jump. More » -
