Yes, I have them all and FYI - they are not horrible. They are fun, entertaining, and even informative. Even with the huge dude. In fact, if they were really horrible - we probably wouldn't still have Top Gear today.

Have to check out this show, but I am not sure I can take more than 30 seconds of Adam Corolla. Hoping to be surprised!

Watched the first episode. Stopped watching halfway through. No appeal,IMO. Another copy. These US car shows have to stop trying too hard to be TGUK.

Yeah, I wouldn't say the first ones were horrible, but definitely different.

A new show requires a network that dares to be innovative. I'm not sure if those still exist. They can only get funding for shows that are proven to already work. :/

(Actually there are quite a few innovative networks, speed just isn't one of them).

that pic is full of ugly lol. But The car show is on VCast on verizon. Its alright imo, the 60 second discussion could be a little bit longer i wish. There were bits of parts that made me laugh, like the girls learning to drive a clutch. But over time it will probably get better if they make more than 1 season

It was neat seeing the Z32 in the first episode. The car was owned by a friend of mine; he sold it to another friend and we drove it at the LeMons race at Infineon in March.

Even in the rain, we couldn't manage to kill it. The owner didn't like it much (he's more of a FWD guy) and "donated" it for the episode.

Seriously, the unmodified chicks were much more attractive.

The modified chicks they talked to! "Even her voice is modified!"
