Top Gear USA
 
Take a look at this. I guess BBC/Top gear will be using new host.

Should be interesting. I watch Top Gear all the time, and its mostly the hosts that make that show. The back and forth between them is hilarious.

Hope its half as good as the UK one.

This will not be good. That Rutledge guy is a clown. Tanner's alright, not much of a TV personality though. Don't know the other guy at all.

I don't know. The Office has done pretty darn well for itself. And so did Friends. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out. I see Tanner Foust on Speed Channel's supercars show and I don't really like him as a host. Kinda bland, if you ask me.

Gotta agree with John...this show will blow.

HEY???? Wasnt Adam Carola on the top of the list to host this U.S. version ?!?!

This same idea was tossed around a couple years ago, faded away, and I was hoping the idea would stay dead.

It will be a politically correct suck-fest, for sure. Forget about them ever dishing out serious criticism of any car currently being manufactured. Too much liability.

What's gonna suck even worse, is that once this half-baked show airs, they won't make the original BBC Top Gear available within the USA anymore.

Yep, this show will suck. For the UK version, the hosts truly do make that show what it is, and there is no good US substitute for their wit and criticism.
