There might be another reason the show isn't as car-centric as we'd like it to be. It's just a speculation but bear with me: I bet Top Gear has made a lot of enemies in car companies through years of bashing and making fun of their cars. Some manufacturers may stop giving them test cars for that reason. So they may be forced to review cars from certain manufacturers.
I'll be really happy if I don't see any Audi/Porsche reviews this season. Or Ferrari. I am sick to death of Jeremy showing every time the buttons on the steering wheel and the Race button. It's really old now.
Well, we've seen that your thoughts are right: Chevrolet won't give Top Gear cars anymore, as seen with the Camaro. And Bentley refused to do in the last season, even though i don't know why. But we've seen the solution. The Budget of the Show is so high, and the salaries of the presenters indeed (didn't Richard buy the Camaro for himself?), that they are able to just buy the cars, if they want to have them on their show.
I think the Reason for all the Ferraris, Porsches, Merc's an BMW's on the show is simple. Jeremy loves Ferraris, Richard loves Porsches, they all like BMW's, Jeremy likes Merc's etc.
If one of us wold be a presenter at the show, we would do the same thing i think^^
As I said sometime ago: it's not a car-show, it's a show about Hammond, Clarkson and May and the things they like. Which are cars, but not all of them
