New Top Gear? WTF!

[EeePee]

New ZR-1 Vette? Is that out?

Stupid Camaro, stupid Charger, stupid whatever the other one is...

Fancy Mustang... Volt... and I'm out of cars...

We have no high end cars, save maybe that Vette.

 

[Jon Boy]

they really only rip apart the cheap, "regular guy" cars

they've knocked a few high dollar cars before. not many but, they have. i can't think which ones at the moment though

welp, i've been holding myself back on searching web for info right now. although i'll more than likely give in later tonight on that.
so, it's The Rut, Tanner, US Stig (?) and a third who i've only their big silhouette getting out of a car and want to say it made me think Tommy (Chicken Car) Kendall :roll:

i do hope it's going to be better than i'm thinking, i just can't see them three being able to pull it off very well, if at all.

to me looks like it's...
Rut = Capt. Slow (slow, boring, chunky fella)
Tanner= The Hamster (small, short, big ego with something to prove, fridge magnet)
US Stig= well The Stig "thumbsup"
Kendall?= Jezza (big loud mouth that IS ALWAYS right, never wrong) :ror:

sound about right to you fellas?

I get the feeling Rutledge is going to be annoying...........

they all ARE car enthusiasts...

Nahhhhhh they're jaded old hacks that are only interested in self promotion so they can sell more DVD's at Xmas.

Next time you watch it just think to yourself that every single second of the show is planned and scripted, even jerksons offensive remarks are carefully thought out so as to be offensive enough to get press but not too offensive as to make viewers switch over.

All the racers are preplanned with the explicit knowledge of all 3 of them, they know exactly what the next "challenge" in the envelop is cause they've had several meeting to discuss it.

If they were half decent actors then it wouldn't be too bad, but none of the jerks could act their way out of a kindergarten school play.


As i say we're all different so want and are entertained by different things.
For me i want the cars in the show to be the stars, that's what i care about, i don't give a monkeys toss who presents it as long as that enthusiasm shines though.
I want to see presenters as enthusiastic about driving the new Ford Focus as they are about the new Ferrari.

 

[Jon Boy]

well, it's a television show of course it's scripted. even these so called reality shows are scripted. and your right they're not actors, look at where their backgrounds started.

i agree, i do like the cars and to hear, see and learn about them. yes the boys are childish and rediculous but it's better than a guy just standing there all mono-toned reading from a booklet. :ror:

 

[Rig Rocker]

looks good to me. Won't be the same as BBC, but it looks watchable

 

[meffie]

I have no faith in the US version, but we shall see. Always loved the UK version tho

 

[Gimp]

Fingers crossed the presenters aren't as arrogant and big headed as the 3 jerks on the UK version "thumbsup"

I guess every ones different, i don't see anything funny any more though.
It's just dumbed down now to the point that my 4 year old understands the show.

It's also the exact same layout, the exact same "jokes" and the exact same scenarios for the past 5 years or so.
It's like a uncle that tells the same bad jokes every Xmas.

Having met Clarkson i can put me hand on me heart and say he is an arrogant jerk.
Never met the other 2, but then why would you want to.


Best thing they could do in the UK show is loose those 3 self promoting jerks and get some proper car enthusiasts in instead "thumbsup"

Who is this guy?
Have you ever watched the show lol?
And by the way, they do get excited about cheap cars.....Ford Mondeo, Fiat 500, Ford Focus/Fiesta ect etc.....

The US version is more than likely going to fall on it's face. I thought I read a while back that it failed before it even started, then the brought it back to try out an episode or two to see if it catches on. There's no way you could replace the 3 boys. Rutface is annoying, just watching the commercial annoyed me lol. It'll be too politically correct too. I want to hear Foust say something about truck driver's murdering prostitutes lol

Can't wait for season 16 "thumbsup"

 

[Badmuthatrucker]

The Australian version (from a couple of years ago now) was complete crap. I mean really bad. They picked 3 no ones who then tried to pull off the same feel of familiarity that the Brits have built naturally over 10 years of abusing each other, with massive insincerity and condescending talking down.

It went so well, the replaced the pseudo Clarkeson with a trumpet player that is popular with midday talkshow audiences for the 2nd season. :lmao:

The fact that they cast these individuals that were laying the stereotypical "ocker ozzy lariken" on so thick, and that NO Australian talks or behaves like in reality, and then shove the 102% synthetic crap back down our throats was a complete ferking insult. Words like "Strueth" and sayings like "Stone the crows" only exist in screen writers heads.

I hope your TG is not as false.

 

[Duuuuuuuude]

There's no way you could replace the 3 boys.

But its not just about the hosts. The original is just so well done that anyone who is familiar with it will most likely unhappy with the US version. I'm willing to give it a chance though...but if they tear apart a SBC or drive something around a NASCAR track, I'm done.

Who is this guy?
Have you ever watched the show lol?

Aye, i'm a Brit car nut so i've been watching Top Gear for over 30 years "thumbsup"

Problem i have is, they've just dumbed down the show to the point where it's grunts, groans, bangs and explosions.

That fact that those 3 presenting it are the biggest load of self publicising, big head, arrogant jerks to appear on UK TV (itself no mean feat as there are a fair few big headed arrogant jerks on UK TK) doesn't really help.

I watch it cause lets be honest for a car/bike nut even a crap car tv show is better than most other types of shit they put on TV these days, but i can't help feeling it'd be so much better if they lost those 3 twats.


Now if Leno did a TV show about cars THAT i'd watch and not miss.
I've watched every vid on his site, his enthusiasm, knowledge and intelligence just comes through in every vid.

The guy has passion for cars past the point of obsession, THAT's what i like "thumbsup"
He doesn't buy a car cause he thinks the joe public might think he's cool or sell more DVD's, he buys what he wants and makes no excuses for it.

If jerkson and co weren't given cars to test there is no way they'd have enough enthusiasm and passion to test there own cars, all they care about is self publicity and selling more DVD's at Xmas.
In itself that'd probably be slightly entertaining IF any of em actually had a personality stronger than a wet cardboard box.
