why do you love top gear?

[The White Stig]

just wondering what it is that "does" it for you.

[charley]

The presenters, the jokes, the editing, the filming, and most of all, the cars performed on the show... pretty much all of it really !

[otispunkmeyer]

i like that it is as much a two fingered salute to political correctness, health and saftey, green peace, unions and animal rights nutters as they can get away with.

they pull in top celebs too, and they seem genuinely happy to be on the show plus i love the fact that they basically get to prat around spending licence fee payers money (thats me included btw) for an hour every week. makes fee worth it

[B33R]

The editing of the documetations of the cars, i love the way they film... and the music is perfect in every single episode of topgear

and ofcourse also the presenters, the jokes and best of all the briliant cars!

Seems I completely agree with everything otispunkmeyer said although I would like to add that I love the way it's made with so much attention to detail, the locations, the editing and camera shots (hmm how do say that in proper english?)

Also the metaphors they for describing cars, and the slagging off of hyundais amongst others. BTW I hope they will do that more in the coming season!

[Lennon]

Thats kind of a rhetorical question, almost like asking why the earth is round, it just is.

Well... Top Gear, plain an simple, is just good.

[superswamper]

For me, it's just that it's different from anything on TV.

Because I'm over in the US, nobody wants to offend anyone else so they censor everything, but Clarkson and the gang tell it how it is. If they don't like a car, they don't make up something good to say about it. They tell you it's crap.

X2, it is just different from everything that is over here. For that reason alone it is great!

Its fun to watch the friendly bickering and all the little challanges. And of course some great info on cars and their *real* opinion on them.

[Danny Tran]

Boys with toys, fun in cars- How the gang reviews cars is how id have fun with my friends.

[epp_b]

The editing of the documetations of the cars, i love the way they film

They make it like a blockbuster movie, they're all good actors, and they have enjoyable personalities. That's one reason Top Gear is so much better than the boring, scripted-to-T crap we have in North America.

It's a combination of the three personalities, the quirkiness of the challenges, the fast cars, the lack of political correctness, the excellent humor, and the editing that make it such a good show.

[GTR-13]

i love the presenters, the cars, the editing, THE STIG, the jokes and let's not forget de fun stuff.

[mclarensmps]

When you look at the stark contrast between the raw humour and down-to-earth-ness of the presenters in the studio and the insane cutting edge, and state of the art professional editing and choreography of the "review" pieces, you can understand just how much thought, is put into each episode of the show.

It's probably the only thing aside fromt he F1 races that makes the telly worth watching

[Redoak]

The writing is brilliant, the previews/reviews are always on point and very clear. The three presenters have the kind of chemistry that is almost impossible to find anywhere else. Their behavior is highly entertaining and very dysfunctional as a family would. It makes it very fun and believable. Their opinions are always great and the way they pass their points along is always cool and fun.

The Editing is top notch; so great in fact that "other tv series" copied it without remorse. The length of the show is nice, it gives enough room for each presenters as well as enough "image" toting. Furthermore, the show is very up-to-date and follows the world of motoring (briefly but a nice touch). Finally, they interview a "Star" every week which makes for nice value and finally... well god dammit its just fraking awesome.

[t3h r0x0rs]

Mainly for the presenters and their different personalities clashing, the challenges/races, the cars and the excellent camera work in their reviews. But I also like it for the segments such as the news, Star in a RPC and the Cool Wall, etc.
