Who even cares, they've already said they won't review cars they don't like for fear of pissing off sponsors. Fuck it.

This show is going to suck. I am disapointed. I heard about this a while ago and thought it might do well in the US. This lineup will prove a lack of deep car knowledge quickly (at least for 2 of 3) and that will annoy the real car buffs. Then they will be left with an audience with a 6 episode attention span that will move on to something else. Too bad...

tanner foust is a ***.....

Carolla doesn't do anything well. His act is tired and old.

stumpy221 · 06-17-2008, 09:22 AM

I Have a feeling it will fail pretty badly. But i would watch at least a few to make a final judgement. I don't know but it seems as though the american version will lack the charisma and wit of the original.

That's actually from BBC's Top Gear when they were in the US. Just like the Stig's African cousin too.

If they do it right, and ACTUALLY ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS???

This crew is full of Win...

However, being as this is the US, and full of Dumbshits and scum ruled over by advertising dollars? Yeah, it's dead meat...

An ignorant useless POS like Mencina can stay on TV, while a Guaranteed hit, will be ridden into the ground by corporate ass kissing...

Sucks.

GuyOh · 06-17-2008, 03:45 PM

bbc top gear is still going to be the best because they'l keep making fun of the americans and the french

IrateSpeed6 · 06-18-2008, 05:37 PM

If they aren't allowed to review cars they don't like or have to stay away from upsetting anyone, then this will not be "Top Gear".

SpecC · 06-18-2008, 06:18 PM

yeah i'm hoping they can talk shit about american cars all day. Jay Leno did it in a more friendly way of an article asking american car makers to do a better job. I want to see Adam Carolla just go off when he's reviewing something stupid like a Malibu though
