Season 16 of Drive On's favorite car show, Top Gear, returns to BBC America on Feb. 7 at 9 p.m. ET. The cable channel has posted the trailer above to give you a flavor of what the boys will be using and abusing this season.

We 've been anxiously awaiting S16. We've not exactly been fans of the new American version of Top Gear that wrapped its first season on the History Channel this weekend. It's OK, but not as outrageous and just plain fun as the real deal from Britain with Jeremy, James, Richard and Stig.

The first episode on BBCA Feb. 7 will be followed by the first airing here of a new special -- Top Gear: USA Road Trip Special -- in which, BBCA says, "The boys take a trip to this side of the pond and battle it out up America's East Coast!"

Tip if you can't wait two weeks: The S16 first episode actually airs in the U.K. tonight on BBC2. Which means by tomorrow it'll be floating in the Internet cloud if you're willing to engage in unprotected downloading of what BBCA notes is "one of the most illegally downloaded shows on the Internet."
