As an ex-pat Brit, I have to say that I find the English 'Top Gear' to be remarkable TV (i.e. brilliant!!!), and the complete political incorrectness of Clarkson and his cronies is what makes it so appealing. It will NOT do well over here, just like none of the other transplant shows have because of the English penchant for sarcasm which does NOT translate well for most Americans.

Jeez, I remember the thread I started a few months ago about how we ought to at least be able to 'clip' cyclists on the road as we drive past them as they are nothing but a frigging annoyance on the road. A DIRECT quote from Clarkson, but with a HUGE dose of sarcasm, and I was almost lynched by folks on here who just didn't "get it".

Would be immense fun though if they ever found the right hosts who can mix sarcasm, incredibly quick wits and relatively unbiased detailed car knowledge (although don't get Clarkson started on American cars!!!!!!), but I don't think Adam Carolla is the right one, nor Seinfeld...Leno WOULD be good!!!
