I don't know any of those people, but I hope they don't turn it into some kind of faux-reality TV "drama" with a lot of fake arguments and over-the-top personalities.

I don't see the point in bringing it here. There's not that many interesting vehicles over here.

You can only do the pony car comparo so often. Although I imagine it will be like the british version which only seems to test supercars now. I miss the every day car tests on that show.

Definitely agree

Damn. This is one fucking negative group. Ok so you don't think it will be all that great but what is it going to hurt to watch a show or two to find out for yourself. I don't care I'd its as good as the OG but I just hope its better then the reg car shows. There are a few good ones out there and the host play a big part in it. They need to work well together and they need to be honest. If you like it say so. If you hate it say say that too. On the reg one they don't always agree and they say so. I don't even agree with Jeremy C about 50% of the time but I like that he speaks his mind. As far as the stunts go some of them are not bad. I knida like the here is X amount of money, go buy Y type of car. I hope the show works out.

I like the british version becuase we don't have most the vehicles that they test over here. If I wanna go look at a GTO, I can. I can not go look at a Fiat.

My thoughts exactly!

No where in the world will they be able to find another tall guy, super geek, and cute little former race car driver like the BBC guys. And, there is only one STIG!

That was my first thought, "Who will be the Stig?"

And what track will they be testing the cars at?
