Latest two series had moments, but have not been nearly as good as the previous ones. That said, Top Gear remains one of my favorite shows. It quite simply is the best car show...in the world.
Too many favorite segments to select from, but those off the top of my head include
Clarkson driving the smallest car in the world, the search for the best driving road in the world, Sabine racing a van around the Nurburgring, caravan racing, their attempt to turn a car into a space shuttle, their attempt to build amphibious cars, blowing cars over with a jet, their attempt to destroy a Toyota Hilux, car football. Their Polar, Winter Olympics, Africa, Vietnam, and U.S. Specials are classics...and the
Gran Turismo / NSX segment filmed at Laguna Seca seemed directed specifically at me.
And that doesn't even factor in how fun some of their car reviews can be, Clarkson's "Some say..." introductions for the Stig, or simply watching the Stig show us which cars are fastest around their Test Track (which will be a selectable circuit in Gran Turismo 5).
"and on that bombshell..."
