Still think Leno, Tanner, and Ryan Secrest would be the best combo.
Put it on FX.

r0nin89 08-10-2010 12:16 PM
Leno shoulda been in it...

Jumping a car like that with no brace and no forethought is a sweet way to compress a disk...

The British show is produced for the BBC with public funds while the American show will air on commercial television. Leno believes that the show may have to worry about offending current and potential sponsors by giving their products poor reviews, leading to a compromise in the journalistic integrity and freedom of the original show.
Yep ^

super stupid

redsoxsstink 08-10-2010 03:12 PM
it wont be the same and it wont be funny but its worth a watch. i dont see what is so hard about just showing the brit version here. discovery channel did it for like 5 or 6 episodes a few years back.

The episode where they came to america they had problems because dodge wouldnt supply an srt8 challenger... So they went out and bought. That wont happen on the American version for sure. I think that statement is 100% correct

Watch any of the car shows on Saturday morning and tell me they aren't commercials. I got bitter after they detuned and dyno'd an LS-6 at 200 rwhp to show the massive gains from a simple intake swap.

Gotta love the Saturday morning PowerBlock, huh Bill.

I will give this a chance, but I don't anticipate it being nearly as funny or truthful as the original.

they need better hosts
The one guy does the stupid super car thing and who knows who the other guy is ....

92REDBIRD 08-10-2010 05:13 PM
WOW!? :-? The Brits are better.

Knipps 08-10-2010 08:23 PM
The brit version is shown here. On BBC America :D

I'll give the new version a chance but it won't be the same...

I'm pretty sure BBC is the largest television broadcast company in the world if I'm not mistaken. I believe they own TLC and Discovery.

Yeah but all car rags rip on certain brands and leave some alone. The viewers are gunna make or break the show. The people that are gunna be watching at first are car people and they will decide.

thor117 08-11-2010 03:06 PM
idk if that was a ****** preview or if the show will really just be that bad

T69SS 08-11-2010 04:28 PM
i guess ill give it a chance. Doesnt look to promising though...

Raist103 08-13-2010 12:01 PM

drmrman 08-16-2010 08:58 AM
Def give it a shot.... Why not.... Fast cars with idiots behind the wheel! Sounds like a recipe for some laughs!

Although tanner is no idiot... He can handle a car.
