Default Fifth Gear to be replaced?

I was just browsing around the Autocar website when I came across this:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/forums/t/1697.aspx

Can anyone make some sense out of this? Why would Five need another car show?

Sounds like they want car people for an episode of whatever show that is.

It's a game show / reality show type of thing, not a review based magazine show.

Fifth Gear is broadcast in a really tough slot but gets a solid audience, with sponsorship and decent advertising, so there must be money in it for them.

It must be, as the show only seems to be off air for a matter of weeks. It's definitely taking full advantage of the Top Gear audience...

because Fifth Gear is crap? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Seriously, I think this is another type of show, more like "how much can you really sell your car for". More of a consumer type program and not lets drive an insane car nobody will ever buy,or do a shootout or whatever

Because they saw the runaway success of "petrolheads" and wanted a piece of that action?
