    To be honest, I'm not all that upset. If they're just trying to copy the original, it's ok. We already have one of those. We don't need another. If they came up with an original idea for a show, then I'd be bummed.

    GOOD I would hate to see a great show ruined, which is what american TV would do to it . Just not the same humor here.

    I bet it ends up on Speed or Spike or someplace else on cable.

    Now featured on Speed! 24 consecutive showings of three separate (American) Top Gear episodes!

    I think FX would be the best spot for it I mean really with It's Always Sunny, and Testees they could get away with more on that channel. But I agree Who would you like to see as a host. Adam Corolla cool, but who else?

    After all that anticipation and hype. Pretty anti-climactic, actually.

    Fist thing that came to mind when I heard the news

    "BIG NEWS about the Dacia Sandero!"

    "The what?"

    "It's not coming to England!"

    "Oh..."

    Substitute US Top Gear for Dacia Sandero and you're dead on the money yawn
