heres a link to an article about adam C being in Gear. it also mentions a auto writer named dan niel, and that he will be involved somehow.

ok so Adam Corolla is definitely in. he said in his show that he was going to el toro air field to film some stuff. cross your fingers.

idk i just cant see him pulling huge power slides yelling POWER!!

Adam Corolla's funny, but not "haha" funny. I'll give them an episode's worth of chance, no more.

he has a radio face... definately

so it looks like Leno may not be a host

That's logic right there.
A half-baked Top Gear will just generate mass rolling of eyes, boredom, and those responsible will appear pathetic. They attempted it here in Australia, and I was embarrassed to watch more than a few minutes. :-( It lasted only a couple episodes.

Give a decent, original, American show the proper budget and let it take its own course.:thumbup:

so i read and article Leno wrote and he basically said he didn't want to give Jeramey any more reason to dislike the states. ie. by bastardizing his show.

Only downside be, americans have no clue about cars aside how to get em in a straight line in a rather fast manner... :laugh:

- Tom

amen! and i'm an american!

Oh?
Is this because you've gone on drives with many of the sports car clubs out there on a winding country road at "driving miss daisy" pace?

Or is it just rare that there are guys with Corvettes, Ford GT's, Viper's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Mustangs, Camaro's, Murkers, Sierra Cosworth's, Golf GTi's, R32's, S4's, RS4's, RS6's, R8's, M3's, M5's......... etc. etc. etc. etc. .... that they appreciate corners?

Really?

That must be why Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche sell more cars in the USA than all their other world markets combined.

Worst first post EVAHH!! :laugh:


Welcome to the forum :mrgreen:

Leno's smart and definitely puts things into perspective. Glad he knows he is and will never be as entertaining as Clarkson. Not to mention American TV is all about advertising, sponsors would never allow for any criticism...

Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche sell more because, Americans buy more of everything.. until the recession sets in within the next 2 years..

Clarkson is not funny - he is sarcastic... his humour is borderline funny at times, but mostly just sarcastic.

Leno is a far more entertaining car guy then Clarkson could ever hope to be - witness Leno's Garage cult folloing with barely any promotion.

The people buying the Ferrari, Lambo and Porsche's are not those going to be affected by the almost non-event recession.

Leno isn't funny, even with high paid writers. I definitely do not find him entertaining, although his collection of cars is entertaining enough by them selves.

This is all personal opinion of course though..

About the recession, of course all the wealthy people will not be affected, but the majority of the population will, and then the rest of the world will when they have no one to sell too.
