The problem with increasing the car content is that Top Gear, in recent years, has started to attract a new dedicated audience of people who watch the show FOR the stunts and messing about who turn off when it gets to car heavy or to technical.
There are two audiences for the show now 1) who watch the show for the interesting, funny and different car reviews, news and information and a 2) who watch the show for three middle aged men acting like small children and playing silly games.
The second audience is 'potentially' a considerable amount bigger than the first.
As someone in the second I personally would have NO PROBLEM with f1anatic's idea of them dedicating half of a couple of episodes a series to pure car news and reviews, a couple to messing about and then maybe an epic race and a 'foreign adventure' special.
