clicky

they've been in talks to get one on a network over here...

can't be the same, but hopefully they'd find some people to best replace hammond and the guys the best they could. it mentions the stig would still race the cars.

edit.... nvm new hosts.... that's not really mentioned

Is that anything like that british show 5th Gear that used to air on Speed channel?

As long as Clarkson is not in it, I'll watch!

If they don't have the current hosts then it won't be the same. American "humor" will probably suck anyway...with hiip-hop overtones.

Just air the series in America as is.

Yup.

You want to replace the focal point of the show? Good thinking.

Exactly...his humor is what helps make the show so popular.

If Clarksons not hosting, I have no interest. He makes the whole show.

Clarkson is a douchebag. That being said, without him, the show would be lame.

Any Dope can do what he does. I do enjoy how he squeezes his 48 inch waiste in to 28 inch waiste jeans. He his so Anti-American, his show won't last long here if he is on it.

What is Top Gear without the three and British sarcasm?

You seem awfully concerned with how he looks in jeans lately....and you're focusing on his waist area.....

Sarcasm has made JC what he is and the show. Do I agree with him 100%? NOPE.

Sometime you should watch a show with the brain shut down for the knowledge, this is one of them.

Clarkson is to Top Gear as Simon is to American Idol. Only he plays an even larger role. I wouldn't watch Top Gear making their own limos, growing their own fuel, or driving across the US if the presenters were different.

It defies the Laws of Physics!

Besides your obsession with his waist, he's a funny character with his other partners...and their sesne of humor ispriceless. SDO he's an arse...he's still better than any lame ass American host. Top Gear isn't Top Gear without the 3 of them.

Oh, and he's so anti-American that he owns a Ford GT.

Well....actually it broke so much, I think he got rid of it and ordered a Gallardo spyder.

When Clarkson drove the Dodge SRT-10 Viper on one episode he remarked on all the safety stickers on the car, I almost pissed myself laughing. And then he mentioned the warning about the exhaust getting hot...and then the damn thing started smoking where the exhaust is... Wonderful.

Just because you own an American car, doesn't mean you're not Anti-American.

He's British, its not that he's anti-American, he's just very PRO-European like everyone else over there.

Ill put it out there..... sign me up for the host of that show...... Freakin Dream Job!

You do know I am a German citizen, don't you? Actually I have Dual Citizenship, German and American.

Well....actually it broke so much, I think he got rid of it and ordered a Gallardo spyder.

Also, he considered the GT to be more British then anything since it is based off the British Designed/Engineered GT-40 racecar from the 60s. He even said so himself.

Oh, and he's so anti-American that he owns a Ford GT.

Not anymore. He now has a Gallardo Spyder in place of it.

Oh yeah? I guess he got sick of the Ford breaking down.

Naturalized American?

There is a thinly spread American-car subculture across Europe (someone here even sold their Buick to a Norwegian), but it's not the same as widespread appreciation for modern American vehicles. The standard opinion outside North America, fueled by parochial media who have for the most part never driven anything but Corvettes (which they usually like) is that American cars are crap, something that influences US media as well.

What's the formula for Top gear anyway? Presenters with a comic background (Car magazine for years had Ronny Barker and even Rowan Atkinson as reviewers and columnists) and a love of fast cars; a celebrity guest who may or may not be able to drive a cheap POS around a track (how about an Echo?); an exotic car test (more domestic exotics—now that's an oxymoron—such as the Saleen, SSC and Mosler), an experienced race driver to test lap times; a beater challenge for comic relief; a comparison test of performance variants (Caliber v Cobalt v Civic) etc.; or an SUV test (driving an Escalade up Pikes Peak perhaps).
