It's been talked about for months, and now it's here: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/23/report-top-gear-usa-premiers-to-middling-viewership/">Top Gear</a> China recently aired its first episode, joining the original <em>Top Gear UK</em>, <em>Top Gear America</em>, <em>Top Gear Australia</em> and <em>Top Gear Russia</em>. The Chinese spin-off follows the same format as every <em>Top Gear</em> franchise, sporting three energetic hosts, silly challenges and a studio audience made up of attractive girls and trendy-looking dudes.<br />
<br />
We have no idea what the hosts are saying, but it looks as if the banter of the original three <em>Top Gear</em> hosts is alive and well in China, and we only hope they fire back off-color jokes about Brits. It would only be fair, after all.<br />
<br />
The first episode of <em>Top Gear China</em> includes a comparison test between a <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/cadillac">Cadillac</a> and a donkey, apparently to see which is better at making corn meal. The idea is hilarious, and from what we can tell, the execution doesn't disappoint. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/23/video-take-a-first-look-at-top-gear-china/#continued">Click past the jump</a> for the fist 15 minutes of <em>Top Gear China.</em><br />
