No way yet; if the 5th Gear had the same structure as at the beginning (a right away technical program, objetive, and without any false humor), it would be better than TG in the current way; however, the 5th Gear has some nonsense tests, some, the presenters act in an stupid way, and the program lacks of seriousness when testing a certain car.

Although sometimes TG is not serious either when testing a car, the chemistry between the three presenters remain, and they give a lot of soul to the program

5th Gear is ok, but Top Gear is sub Zero

I really enjoy watching TG over and over again. I donīt do this with 5th Gear.

I agree, too many adventures and challenges and little car reviews, but lets face it... What new cars are there? What car has not been reviewed by them that has come out?

Not their fault there arent any new things to test. Whatever the reasons are, this last episode with a F1 car and Lewis Hamilton puts Top Gear up top no matter what they have done before.

From 5th gear, Tom is the only guy worth watching. Tiff seems to bee too expensive per minute as he doesnt show up on some episodes and when he does, he does for very little.

Top Gear, all three presenters offer something. Hamster being, imo, the less contributing. Cptn Slow is funny as is Jeremy... Hamster tries to throw jokes but fails. Anyway, so many hamster jokes have been said by Jeremy that makes him worth keeping.

... Hamster can't drive! does he wreck a car each season? One of these days the brain lesions will catch up to him. "I used to could do science me"

Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhht? Granted, he's the only one who actually does car reviews, but still...

Top Gear is still the best. And it's not as if Fifth Gear does any real car reviews. They just do some random shootouts and that's it. They seriously don't have enough air time to make the show any good. 30 mins are not enough. Sometimes whenever they get around to really cool sounding features they end up being way too short.
