The team travels to the US to take new generation muscle cars on an epic road trip from San Francisco to Utah. Will Young is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
Motoring news and views from the usual team.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May travel to the US to take three new generation muscle cars on an epic road trip from San Francisco to the heart of Utah. And after the excitement of their last American road trip, this time they do their best to avoid letting a mob of angry locals pelt them with rocks.
Meanwhile, back in the UK Jeremy tests the feisty new Fiat 500 Abarth and pop idol Will Young is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
