The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/07/rumormill-production-started-on-top-gear-china/">rumors appear to be true</a> and <em>Top Gear</em> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/china/">China</a> is reportedly officially underway. According to the <em>Global Times</em>, a 30-minute pilot episode has been filmed and Chinese comedian Cao Yunjin will be one of the three hosts helming China's version of the greatest automotive television show... in the world.<br />
<br />
The format is expected to remain true to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/top+gear"><em>Top Gear</em></a> style, but so far, little is known about the actual content being filmed. One challenge from the pilot episode has been leaked, and it apparently features a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/cadillac/">Cadillac</a> taking on a donkey. The two are tasked with lugging millstones around a farm to see which tackles the job more efficiently. Uh-huh.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping the next challenge involves <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/16/report-geely-to-adopt-confusing-new-multi-brand-system/">deciphering Geely's multi-brand system</a>.<br />
