Best Car Show Out There has to be Top Gear

[XXXNITRO]

This show is great they call it like it is.Its how the car feels more than just numbers and specs,which they do tell you its how they tell you.

What they say about cars and car makes and what they put them through its amazing that they just keep getting them.

Yeah, I love the BBC version, the North American version is a bit of a bore.

I like both the BBC and the US version. While I admit the US version first season left a little to be desired, the BBC one didn't really hit it's stride until season 3 or 4....I am hoping that season 2 (which starts tonight I think) will be better as they correct lessons learned from last season.

There is a new on on Speed called "The Car Show", one of the hosts is Adam Carrola (or however you spell it). Watched the first ep last week, and while it is ok...it is no Top Gear, but, I will likely keep watching it.

Adam Carrola was actually supposed to be one of the original hosts of Top Gear USA when the idea was first bounced around a few years ago. But the BBC crew killed the idea at the time, so I assume this new show is in response and direct competition for Top Gear USA, didn't hurt that it started a week before Season 2 of Top Gear USA started either.

One other I like, and is likely only available in Canada on TSN, is Motoring....great CDN car show.

Topgear is Pure Comedy for the most part, i love the special episodes like the one they did to drive to the north Pole

Not comedy, mostly education. The real basics being, why is this $$$$$$ super car so $$$$$? What can it do that my econo box can't?

I loved the Hilux driving up the active volcano.

Picking up on this ancient thread I can remember way back when Top Gear was actually a serious programme reviewing the latest cars, road laws coming on stream, clubs and car accessories etc. It has certainly developed into something vastly different over the years, unfortunately recently being pulled on account of ex famous England cricketer Freddie Flintoff's life changing serious accident whilst filming. I guess it was an accident waiting to happen when presenters used are not skilled motor sport drivers.

Don't care for the show. I'd rather watch Leno's Garage instead. I like Iron Resurrection and Shorty's Garage on Motortrend channel as well.
