sure, its nothing like how GM has been advertising.. i think its "20 cars with 30mpg or better" or such.
I believe that ad is for BMW.

We all know it costs a ton to do TG per show, let alone for an entire year.
Though there are arguments to go the a British model.

From 4:00 to 5:25: Jeremy and Hammond in the same pose. Dunno if it was on purpose or not....
If you look at early TG, the formula is all there and it works, and it isn't a spectacle on the level of TG today. A lower-budget version could easily be done in the US if they wanted to. Personally I think starting small would work better and would allow the show to build as it goes. If the initial concept could be proven viable on a smaller scale, the big budget can always come later.
no. i may be off on number of vehicles (besides i didnt know bmw even had 20 models..). but it is infact a GM ad. especially since at the end of this ad its all "And in the next century, the chevy volt!".
The basic elements of TG can be put together very cheaply
Nobody does entertainment like America.
99% of the big movies come from Hollywood, and that's been the case for many years.
You can either say it hunday or hiunday, but hundi makes me mad!!!
Did they tell Steve not to talk?
The video you produced is decent enough for a web series. But I don't think that it's realistic to compare what you did for that with what's required for a real show. That's like suggesting that if you produce a newsletter you can also produce a nationally-circulated print magazine. (In this field, I am an expert.)
But the point I'm trying to make is that if you wanted to do a Top Gear-style television series, I think you could do it for cheap -- maybe not as dirt-cheap as we did for our one-time thing, but it can certainly be done for less than what TGUK spend on each episode.
An unpopular view but I'm rather glad it got the can. TG as great as it is (and it is still the greatest show on TV) is slowly running out its course.I never liked the idea of a US Top Gear because like some have said the chemistry makes the show.
