The rumors appear to be true and Top Gear China is reportedly officially underway. According to the Global Times, a 30-minute pilot episode has been filmed and Chinese comedian Cao Yunjin will be one of the three hosts helming China's version of the greatest automotive television show... in the world.

The format is expected to remain true to the Top Gear style, but so far, little is known about the actual content being filmed. One challenge from the pilot episode has been leaked, and it apparently features a Cadillac taking on a donkey. The two are tasked with lugging millstones around a farm to see which tackles the job more efficiently. Uh-huh.

Here's hoping the next challenge involves deciphering Geely's multi-brand system.

I'll put money on it being better than Top Gear Australia...

Is there a Russian Top Gear? I wanna see a bunch of Ladas and Fiats run around a track and see how far they get.

XC70R, indeed, but I'm told they're popular over there. That's all.

To degree yes, but there are more Mercedes Benz.

In fact, there are also more AMG + Brabus + Audi RS - series + BMW M series over there than you will ever find anywhere else. (most are stolen)
