We definitely would love to see Adam Corolla and Jay Leno host the U.S. version of Top Gear, however Leno has already turned down the offer fearing that Americans will ruin the show for what it’s worth.

Nonetheless you can see Leno’s take on the latest and greatest at his Jay Leno’s Garage website. Today, Leno gives us his take on the new 2009 Nissan GT-R.

Refresher: Power comes from a a 3.8 L twin-turbocharged DOHC V6 engine that produces 473 horsepower and a peak torque of 430 lb-ft. 0-60 comes in at 3.5 seconds.

    Wouldn’t the Honda/Acura NSX be considered the first Japanese supercar?

    Jay tries to hide his intelligence behind this “oh gosh, huck, huck” humor, then asks a bunch of leading questions that he already knows the answers to. Why bring the auto rep in if he is going to be a simple parrot? I really would have liked to see more interior shots of the car. Jay’s approach to leaving out 0-60 times, track runs, and drag strip numbers should provide him time to look at the cars from the daily user perspective. That means more discussion about the daily function of the vehicle, not just that it pulls and pulls and did I mention pulls.

    he mentions the NSX but says it is considered by some as a “super car” but it doesnt have the super car power with only 270ish hp.

    This GTR sounds awsome but I thought they would build it with more tuneability for aftermarket drifting and racing crowds. Im interested to see how people supe these things up
