Check out this news blurb: http://www.finalgear.com/news/2005/1...-usa/#more-226
Basically the Top Gear they were showing here before on Discovery was a bunch of older BBC episodes edited together with refilmed studio parts (and lots of the humor stripped out unfortunately). Now it seems they're planning on making a totally new and separate Top Gear just for the US.
I love the UK Top Gear because of the quirkyness of its humor and hosts. I don't feel like a show done here would have the same feel but I'll give it a chance at least.

That sucks. The show was fine the way it was. Although "Who's Line is it Anyways" came out better when they redid the format to suit american tastes....I doubt it will work for Top Gear. I guess we'll see.
well when ever the show runs get all your friends to watch it to make sure there will be more. i and i dont know why they want to edit out all the trash talking US thats half the fun if you cant get a chuckle out of your self then somethin is wrong
