Didn’t Suzuki win a lawsuit proving this fake? Like the whole flipping was a lie

The Samurai was one of the most capable, affordable offroad vehicles ever made, and will hang with ANYTHING out there off road. It's no more "unstable" than a jeep is, yet American's never said a bad word about Jeeps.

The samurai is not dangerous it's the idiot driver that drives too fast around corners that is dangerous

My first car was an 87 Samurai. I drove it for 10 years and never once felt like it was going to flip.

You should get one for your kids they would love it and of course it's going to flip when you put a ramp on the track

Its actually total bs that samurais roll...

At 2:35, on the inside of the turn, right at the edge of the pavement, you can actually see the ramp they used to flip the Samurai.

2:07 - Of course the single scene where the Samurai flips the camera is so low we can't even see the ramp it's hitting. Next few frames show it flipping, but where it turned over is out of frame. Such important footage you'd think they'd show it all. I know they're trying to be funny, but if the car wasn't flipping, so why not just say that? Besides everyone knows the Pintos fuel tank problems were widely exaggerated and the Corvair? Well that's just a dangerous old car; emphasis on 'old car'. On the UK's Top Gear: Bolivia Challenge they had a Samurai and didn't feel the need too even mention the vehicles 'notorious stability problems' from what I remember. They joked about how small it was and showed how horrible the stock suspension is, but the damn thing survived with the likes of a full size suv like the Range Rover and the better equipped (on paper) Land Cruiser. In comparison Top Gear US is all theatrics and no review. They miss the ball by MILES and I have too partially blame the crews at the History Channel for infecting every god damn show on their channel with that Pawn Star/American Pickers mystic! But that doesn't mean the BBC executives are not at fault. I think most people can see Top Gear UK has it's problems, but that's to be expected with any show that's been on for 13 years (since it's relaunch). Most shows older then 4 years get stuck in that rut of, "They know what the fans want and change their formula accordingly." You can see this with the ever increasing reviews on performance vehicles, repeated puns, and sometimes overly forced/exaggerated challenges. Yes I like those things, but by altering the formula they alter the show and the History Channel just exaserbates this problem. The History Channel has turned from Education AS Entertainment into some kind of Info~tainment over the last few years. They'll throw in 'fun facts' for the name sake of their brand and call their TBS style shows 'educational'. Top Gear US fits snugly into this. The BBC wants to make more money off of the American market so they license their name too the highest bidder. The BBC executives green light the History Channel (A&E 50% / Disney 50%) changes that the market research shows as gold. So they take the best parts of Top Gear UK, mix them with History Channel standards, and give it too Ben Silverman (Director: The Office / The Biggest Loser) and staff too put it all together. Top Gear UK is already a worldwide show, I mean like the go everywhere.. Whats the point of a US counter version other then to make money or to take the strain off the aging UK crew? Top Gear US is a failed project and hurts the shows reputation. Furthermore BBC should retire Top Gear UK before it hurts itself, wait a few years, and then relaunch with multiple crews (US, UK, and maybe Asia?) underneath one show. That way they can have their multi~market appeal and retain and consistent image and style. In closing, please excuse any grammar problems or inconsistencies. I didn't mean too rant like this. (I was just researching the Samurai lol) (and also) Despite all the studies and cost; no one liked "New Coke", but damn if they didn't make a killing off "Classic"

Okay, MAD props to Tanner for sticking up for the Samurai. Most people honestly believe they are prone to tipping over; very few people realize they actually perform far and above anything else in their class for rollover safety.

I have owned four samurais, lifted and stock. I have done stupid things in them.... still never even gotten on two wheels. I hate the BS myth about them rolling, everyone always asks me about that when they see that I have one. Then Top Gear makes a faker than fake video to try and perpetuate the idea. Super annoying. I have gotten mine sideways at speed many times, never came close to even tipping. They even had to resort to a ramp to get theirs to roll. Also if you watch when he keeps saying “ oh it’s on two wheels!” You’ll notice that it’s not even close to on two wheels and the pinto have more body roll and looks closer to flipping than the samurai. Go look into the conspiracy theories behind the samurai flipping stories in the US, they are very interesting.

I'm sorry this is nothing compared to the Original Top Gear

This video was obviously meant to be silly. I have a 1992 Samurai JT, completely stock aside from GY All-Season tires. It gets 37.5 city MPG, is a great vehicle for in-town under 45mph going to the store sort of tasks, can famously handle snow/sand/mud, and climb trees. Plus, it is fun to drive, and well built/durable/reliable. Anyone afraid to drive theirs can sell it to me once I drive the wheels off this one. But yes, I do have a real car for long trips at highway speeds.

Corvair and Pinto actually looked in quite good condition, shame to destroy them really

The Samurai was started tipping onto 2 wheels before he even turned the corner. They ramped it on the left. Top Gear US guys are useless. 4

Two words to describe this walmart version of a great show: New Coke.

Who thinks the actual host flipped the Samurai and not some hired stunt dude?

That Corvair is a beauty!

I feel kinda bad for these classics, they're in pretty good condition.

I have a Suzuki Sidekick, the descendant of the Samurai. With street tires, it's actually quite stable. Now I've put all terrain tires on it, I've got to go a bit slower in turns. But when I got a little carried away on ice and decided to drift, I was sideways when the ice ended and the road began. Didn't flip it :)

3:15 Rutledge’s laugh!!!😂😂😂

First car I ever had was an '88 Suzuki Samurai. So many memories. Two wheeled it more than once, but never went all the way over. I'll own another one someday, because why not? That's why.

we get the longer wheelbase Samurai (or Gypsy as it is called here) in India... its one of the most fun car to drive around... I learnt how to drive in this car... It was a very very capable off road car and cheap... Its still used for rallying and still does very well...

Anyone else mad they flipped a beautiful Samurai intentionally? That thing was in great shape!

There's only ONE Top Gear. And this is TOP GEAR UK!♥ ♥ ♥

Did you guys cheat with the samurai? It showed a ramp that i saw clearly

one of my aunt's first cars were a pinto, i'm suprised she is still alive today.

“It’s kinda fun to balance it” lol

at this point, having long ago exhausted what remains of Top Gear UK, Top Gear USA doesn't seem that bad anymore.

I'm an American and I want UK!

I'm from the UK and always loved this US version of Top Gear. The humour and chemistry between the 3 presenters was great. In fact much better than the new team on the UK version.

I like how instead of seeing if he's ok they finish the race lol

I like how they just left the Samurai on its side while they finished the race. It's just there, chilling

pour samurai

jay leno, jerry seinfeld, and george clooney for top gear

Me: "Mom I want top Gear!" Mom: "We Have Top Gear At Home" (American Top Gear at Home)

I have the Indian version called the Gypsy. Our Armed forces has been using this vehicle for 35 years. And it is one of the toughest and most capable off road vehicles ever. Simple. Mechanical. Easy to fix. Cheap to run and maintain. The Gypsy is all of this.

This sad reproduction of the great BBC's TG is so horribly scripted and over-edited, it's really an embarrassment to anyone with even half a brain. The potential is there but the chemistry isn't.

you could be just stupid to drive a jimny like that and flip it

Every now & then I feel like reminding myself why I don't watch Top Gear. This was a good reminder.

i used to thrash my samurai on the road, even with 2 inch lift on 30s it used to drift before even feeling tippy. also hilarious how it accelerated faster and initially was faster through the corners, probably before the scripting came into play

Drive lifted Samurais for twenty years , on the "Autobahn" up to 140 kmh with no Problems ! You must know what you drive (high centered,leafspring Suspension) Samurais are no ordinary boring street cars! Maybe put a Defender,CJ 7 ,Wrangler in to a race like this an they roll all at high Speed cornering!

The reason the Samurai was considered prone to rollovers was that its large use of heavy glass above the car's beltline, combined with its ride height, gave it a high center of gravity. The Ford Bronco II, which had a similar design, also received these criticisms. This model, with its soft top and plastic windows, would still be prone to rolling over, but most likely not much more so than the average Jeep. Dramatic license on the show's part..

Samurai. Hell yes! Me and my nephew use too go mud riding, it was always 💯ready to drive us back home.

My buddy over corrected on some camber in the trail and managed to plant us into a tree. I was in the back....without the back seats. Hit the tree hard enough for the back end to lift up and pivot 90 degrees to the right, dig in, and roll on its side. It was glorious.

Top gear USA, get 2 American cars, and one foreign car, Make it look like the foreign car is gonna win, then let something happen to it so it looks like all foreign cars suck, American car wins in a biased race. That's top gear USA for ya'

Corvairs were famous for their unpredictable handling. The samurai for falling over, narrow wheelbase and top-heavyness.

Pinto + Fire extinguisher = LOL.

I LOVE THE CORVAIR

What is the issue with British people and bashing American Top Gear? British Top Gear is better but American Top Gear isn't bad. We don't bash the British for trying to take over the world

My grandfather had both the Pinto and a '63 Corvair (pre suspension fix), and hes still alive!

1:00 "RAPLH NADER'S TRYING TO BLOW ME UP"!!! Yeah Adam!

there are plenty of MUCH more dangerous cars in baghdad / israel

US topgear sucks

Every car is a dangerous car with this Top Gear!

Its called "dramatized". Welcome to television, did you just discover it?

top gear is the uk. this is just garbage

Why so many doslikes its way better than uk is still like the uk one

I had a Suzuki jeep in the mid-80s. Loved it. Never rolled on me.

4:15 ..."hahahhahahahhahha" canned laughter ! wtf !

What the crap usa !!!! Just only UK worth Top Gear name !!!

It sucks uk is better

tanner pulled a richard hammond, lol - that Scandanavian flick is a dangerous move, haha

My mom had a pinto and I owned a samurai and I'm still here.

top gear USA: SUCKS! not personal, the original is so much better

Can't believe they wrecked that samurai, their incredible little off road vehicles

Well the suzuki is not a race car, its a mini off-roader

I drove Samurais, Land Rovers, and Land Cruisers across Kenya. My clear favourite was the Samurai. Also had two Pintos from my parents growing up. Far more dangerous than the exploding gas tank was the hopeless handling.

its like watching 16 yr olds imitating their favorite tv show. SUVs period in the early 90s were flippy like the Bronco 2, the wrangler

I seem to remember it was the screws through the back seat that sat real close to the tank. Removing or shortening those screws should fix the problem. Good looking wee car.

it underscores the fact that top gear USA needs to have it's own channel on KZfaq

I'd actually love to see good top gear do this challenge.

The fact that three fools can tip the samurai back over ought to tell us something

Suzuki Samurai Or Sierra or Jimny was the first production 4x4 Kei car from Japan. Kei cars were introduced after the ww2 in reduced Horse power torque engine size and vehicle dimensions. These dimensions suited ensured small streets in Japanese cities. It’s a great vehicle and now the new Jimny released 2019 is awesome!

The samurai wouldn't of rolled if he didn't hit the curb.

Samurai isn't dangerous. What dangerous is doing a hot lap with a samurai. 🤣

magnifico capitulo. como siempre

Give me that samurai i will win a 10 lap race leading these 2 cars by 5 laps 😂😂😂

My friend, my friend's dad, my dad's friends, my dad ever had a suzuki samurai (sierra/katana/jimny) and we're still alive until now

Love how to cut clip when it flipped they had to make it flip

That's why the guy who drives sammy is the only one who wear neck brace

Didn’t know Joyce Byers could drive that fast against a samurai.

I have a Samurai at my house, but it has been sitting for 10 to 20 years and needs work badly. I hope we find time to work on it. It would be a great beach car

Why does everyone hate TopGear USA? I prefer the regular TopGear myself, by a long shot, but I have yet to see why people hate this one.

Yep, I drove a Suzuki Samurai once and was surprised by how much the tail was loose even with its underpowered engine.

0:42 Awesome smileys :'D

*See's* World's most dangerous car! *Reads Top Gear* *Reads USA* Ok nope

I'd drive a Corvair. I love those things. I would have to modernize the rear suspension to give it ass grip, though.

I found him flipping over, funnier than I should have.

Look at you guys, not giving Top Gear USA a chance. Its actually getting better now.

Remember The Stig driving through a car wash? Priceless episode full of "facts".

The Suzuki Samurai can easily roll over at any speed and the Corvair can easily loose control by oversteer, leading to accidents.

People who think driving 'a stick' is hard shouldnt be allowed near any car ever.

Nice video even if people say its a lie. Good show. Years ago my dad fixed a pinto. I don'temember if he drove it or sod it.

Trying to find the most dangerous car in America is like trying to find a needle in a pile of needles.

Because people haven't actually watched a full episode of the newer seasons of TopGear USA and don't understand that now, it's actually a good show. There are these people called "internet trolls" and TopGear USA attracts a lot of them.

WHY SO MANY DISLIKES.. THIS SHOW ISNT TRYING TO HE LIKE THE UK VERSION.. ITS JUST A CAR ENTERTAINING SHOW..ENTERTAINING SHOW

I think why so many dislikes is mainly because of Rutledge, Adam is just ok, and Tanner is my favorite. Also dont forget that tanner is a rally driver, he can actually drive and drift for real, unlike his co hosters

We aquired the patents, and we build it in the US. It is basically a US car. The interior gets a luxury upgrade, and it gets a power and handling boost. We basically made another Cobra with that.

The best show in the world (was) the old Top Gear. Now the best one is The Grand Tour

Guys, stop hating. Remember these guys do this for YOUR entertainment! And if you don't like these video's, then just don't watch them or try to give them advice on how they can do this better but don't hate because they putt a lot of hard work in these video's.
