Thats actually one of my favorite parts of the show. Their english accents and language they use just add a whole new spin on things for me. I've picked up a ton of new words that I try to use myself. Pretty much every show on U.S. TV is all Americans, so it's really nice to have a change of pace.

Bobby brought up a good point, because they already did it. I watch Discovery Channel frequently, so i've seen the ads for their "New series" Top Gear. And they don't even advertise it as a car talk show or car review show. They've changed the entire point of it. They say "Every week theres a new car, a new challenge!" while showing clips of the Mitsubishi Evo vs bob sled, Mitsubishi Evo FQ vs. Murcielago, Lotus vs Apache helicopter, etc. Discovery channel is advertising it as a completely differant type of program. It's pretty silly
