I like Adam Corolla, but I have a feeling it'll lack the charm that made the British version great. Clarkson is so ridiculously opinionated and makes such bold statements that he forces you to listen and he's somewhat clever and charming. Plus, they have the advantage of nice british accents that you can't help but like.
Perhaps they'll give the british cars a good ribbing and say how the only major british car companies were owned by American companies right up til a few years ago.
Also, one of the guys on Fifth Gear was burned in a car fire while filming for the show a season or two ago. His name is Jason Plato. When Clarkson of Top Gear announced it on their news segment, He called him Jason Baked Potato. Will they ever be able to match that tasteful(less?) irreverence on American TV?
