It said TopGear.com as well as their "Made In America" slogan. You sure it wasn't just stuff for the US portal of TG.com? They make their own material.

All I can say is whoever filmed that needs a job filming stuff I watch. I agree it's confusing though. Definitely American license tags but did I see Alfa badges? (I'm crap with cars so laugh all you want if I'm crazy.) Maybe I'm sheltered but I wasn't under the impression new Alfas were really wandering around the US all that much???

top gear america got canned because NBC just didn't think it would work, and they are probably right. And no cable network can afford to pay for that kind of production.

No, this is Advantech's show reel. You realize he is a member here and posted this reel here before. He said in his original post that he shot content for TG.com. This is not TGA as far as he said. Advantech was also the guy who posted the slow motion video of the Mustang doing a burnout.
