I think they'll do a whole special. First weird Japanese cheap car challenge, then Impreza - Lancer test + Nissan GTR review.

I would love a Japan special. There certainly is a lot to see over there.
First challenge: Can you make it through a Tokyo traffic jam without killing yourself, worth one point.

I'm sure that if they go to Japan to do the show it will be a whole special (like the American and African ones) and not just a 20-30 min segment
Series 9: America Series 10: Africa Series 11: Japan

I know what Clarkson's going to say about the GT-R.

Doubt it since he loved the previous versions.
A one hour special would be awesome. Maybe a cheap/tiny car segment, a 'best of' segment with stuff from the 90's, then a showdown with the new GT-R and something else. If only Top Gear had the sway in Japan they do here, i'd love to see them close a little mountain road off for the battle, like they did on the Isle of Mann. Sweet.

I think Nissan would be able to organise a road for them. If not, there are one-way toll roads that they could use that would almost be the same thing, like Irohazaka. ![]() ![]() The police aren't too much of a worry, especially on private toll roads.

Yes!
![]() I'm glad they are finally going. I hope they format the episode as a regular episode with all the segments being done in Japan. A large multi-car challenge (best cheap car, best japanese sport car, etc) and maybe a review or two of new upcoming Japanese cars (reviewed in Japan!). Whatever they do I'm sure it will be great.

They should do a Tsukuba Battle & Touge Battle against Tsuchiya & co.

Sounds awesome! Maybe they'll meet up with the drifters again and get some tips

Vote for Tsuchiya as the Stig's Japanese cousin.
If anyone gets a whiff of any information on the filming location/schedules for this trip, let me know and I'll go and see if I can get some photos
