That was painful to see it ripped up but that was some great footage of an Evo in it's natural environment. That car got to really show what it's capable one last time.

I really liked this segment even with the constant 'drug dealer' references. Probably because my IX is the same color scheme, etc.. but it showed an Evo driven like it should be. I also now realize how badly I need a JDM rear

Clarkson is entertaining but they should have got a real rally driver for the segment. Schumacher was on a few weeks ago. Ken Block was on last week and is coming back later in the season. Would have loved to have seen Makinen on this one.

Cause the court order is the car have to be destroyed

So they destroy it in a better way instead of crush it

RIP EVO VII RS

New trend to destroy cars when used in a crime is sickening. Those cars never hurt anyone! I watched a video on Youtube awhile ago that showed a car getting crushed because it was used in a street race. It was a riced out civic but still......Oh and it was in the US to so this is not just a Euro deal.

This show isn't even filmed in the United States. I can guarantee you that the reason you are being targeted is not Top Gears fault.

haha I dont think this is top gears fault, but theres no denying that our cars are profiled.
