i have a feeling that american TG will be boring and all the cool kids and ricers at our high school will love it...

I'm sick of the rest of the world pandering to the USA cause they still live in their bubble world [no offence to the yanks here ] but honestly....what in the BBC version is so hard to comprehend?
Why is it that the show is broadcast uncut and unedited in other nations of the world but needs to be re written completelly for american audiences? Honestly.....if I was american I'd be pissed that they thought I was unable to understand the intelligent banter of Clarkson, Hammand and James. Surely it's not just the format of the show, but the presenters that make it such a hit? Will they be able to replicate the stunning cinematograpy of the original series too, or will it look like any other show over in the US, perhaps even shot in NTSC low DEF?
Isn't 'yanks' supposed to be offensive not that i mind[no offence to the yanks here ]
wooflepoof said:The problem i've found is, alot of people here dont like the original top gear at all, i've shown it to soo many people, so many car fans and if it s not fast forwarding through the news, Star In a Reasonably Priced Car, and cars they dont have in America, its asking if they have the new honda civic or a car with that one body kit or the new mustang. and none of them liked the mustang video anyways.
but seriously, the cars here are sooo much more uninteresting than the cars they get over there. I mean who cares about the Chevy malibu? overseas they get "insane" cars like the Citroen C4 and C6. What are some cars here that you are dying to seen on TG one day as a review? American truck or SUV reviews (mainly Jeeps) are lacking, but that is about it. There are a few Acuras and Infinitis that i'd like to see get tested, and i cant really think of any others.matt_shaw said:homerbeer said:Well after hearing this I personally hope the show bombs out and they stick to the original BBC Top Gear.

i dont if know you've heard, but us north americans get way different cars then you people accross the pond. i've never seen half of the brands they talk about in top gear in real life
