I've thought about this a bit more and perhaps in my first post I was a bit of a kneejerk eurosnob. Why couldn't they do an irreverent show with more pickup trucks, muscle cars, Harley bikes and NASCAR?
The thing is, most of the US shows I see are either just commercials for the big three, or focus on the same iconic cars again and again - Corvettes, Mustangs etc... I like how Top Gear digs up obscure and rare cars, and doesn't always mythologize them like most do. The boys don't seem to have the tight leash I imagine the American scripts would have.
That's my real reservation: Sponsors on Parade.
