Any Top Gear fans here?
Any fans of this magnificent motoring show?

A US version of the show is currently being made to go on the History Channel:

2. Love Top Gear
I probably won't watch the US version as it will most likely suck.

3. I love Top Gear
And I am hardly a gear head (can barely change the oil), but Top Gear and Car Talk (NPR) always manage to keep me entertained :)

It will be interesting to see how the US version does, some shows don't translate very well (coupling) while others like The Office tend to do well.

4. Love it, but I think I've seen them all already.
I mostly love the odd wit of the hosts and writers.

5. Top Gear fanatic here.
The US version is going to be horrible, IMO.

8. I love the show
I doubt if a US version would be a quarter as good.
