Where would you like to see the magazine?

I bought the mag in Australia ($9-16) and Thailand(460 bath).

Loved it. I think I read the december, january, february and march-editions. Awesome.

So... Please start selling it in Norway

... but we're hoping to get a local version of the mag out in the US and Canada if the NBC pilot is picked up, so fingers crossed.

i can definitely understand the magazine weight and freight, i remember my family send me stuff in china, definitely was not cheap

i really hope that, rather we get top gear magazine or not determines by gears, because i don't see myself watching it, heck powerblock is on tv every sunday and i skip it.

yet, the in the small local car community, i believe we all catch TGUK one way or another. And if we get TG magazine, will it be the uk version? i don't want adam corolla telling me about his manly experiences like in the man show

Is Top Gear Magazine already sold in Finland? I mean that original UK version.
Edit: And I shall answer my own question: Yes. I just went to local market, and bought it. Great magazine, but I have never seen that much advertisements on one magazine.
Edit2: And it costed €9,60.

I'm going to have to represent for Toronto, Canada.
Although I live in a small city outside of it.
Went to a large book retailer and t'was not there.

Well, over here in Singapore they have the Singapore edition, and then there's the UK edition of the TG mag.

Although, i think it's harder to find the UK edition. I got the August UK issue from the airport here. Couldn't find it in Borders (although it could be just down to me being very blind).

Good news! The latest issue of the BBC America catalog arrived today and they're now offering subscriptions to Top Gear magazine! The price is quite steep at about $135 per year but at least the BBC are officially giving more acknowledgment to the US.

I live in Beijing, China, and I ordered my TG mag through a bookstore which only sells import books, but I got my book nearly 20 days later (sometimes a month) when the mag was launched in UK. And is there anything else comes with the mag? Things like discs? Cause I never got it.

[capra]

I'd like to add another vote for Canada, if only to hedge my bets if TG US is not picked up.

Do you happen to know if Coles bookstores usually distribute the UK version? It's the only chain bookstore up here. I haven't seen it here yet but I'd like to know if bugging them would be worth the effort.

I would really love if Top Gear came in subscription form in the US - and not in its current state of ridiculously overpriced nonsense that foreign imports are. Most of my friends are Top Gear watchers, and we wish we could afford to read it as well.

Tried Chapters or Indigo? They tend to be more likely to sell Top Gear magazine more than other stores. Lucky for me though, there's a magazine store a block away that carries Top Gear, so I don't have to go to Eaton Centre just to get my Top Gear mag fix.

[xeonidas]

I and many other people in Estonia would like to read Top Gear

[Dieter Cabral]

The market for car magazines in México is HUGE! please make a version of Top Gear magazine in Mexico. I'd love to help

Love read this mag here in Indonesia. And i had read it since the first issue. In fact, the word "top gear" i know first is from car racing game in sega game console, then the Top Gear mag. Here in indonesia, we knew the top gear tv show ever exist since just one or two years ago. Thanks to Final Gear and Mininova, now i can watch all the top gear tv shows from the first series.

And about the mag, why we receive the issue one month late than uk version ?

[NooDle]

well, there's a Dutch version of the magazine that I can get, but it's pretty lame compared to the original.
Yes it has the (translated) articles of Captain Slow and Jeremy, but a couple of months late. Also their taste in cars seems to be quite different from the UK version.

so in short TGUK > the world.
why does it have to be sooooo freaking expensive though, and besides, it's 50% ads anyway...

Actually, I did go to a Chapters. Stared at the magazine rack for about an hour and couldn't find the little bugger.
