not on in the u.s.

however so far we've had a weekly cap of it by freegeeks or have gotten it off of nova. this week seems hard to fine, especially since freegeeks was away.

Did anyone get last week's episode from the site I linked? My copy was badly pixelated and the audio was way out of sync...

That was while driving on the track. I am sure most of the other 400+hp cars are about the same. The Motor Trend and Car and Driver review listed its mileage at 14city/21hwy.
