And I personally am not a fan of Adam corolla, his podcast maybe popular but he can't maintain a tv show or radio show, his fan base is loyal but he's kinda the poor man's Howard stern you either like him or hate him.

For top gear US to do anything they need to evaluate what makes the original so great. The camera work is amazing, ours looks like a starving college student put it together on his Mac. The whole production value seems sub par. The other thing is the uk one has been around for awhile and actually changed hosts to get to this final line up. I don't see this current line up finding the chemistry needed to make this show popular.
non are real host but most Tanner reviews are watchable to say the least.
corolla isn't that bad and far better then ferrera or wood. top gear UK has unlimited funds, something the History channel can't mach, keeping that in mind top gear USA is very handicap visual wise. the main UK host has been there since day one, sadly this host don't have any of that charisma Jeremy Clarkson sometimes displayed in earlier years. real automotive journalism is one of the keys of the UK top gear, evolving as time pas to more Hilarius type of journalism. like i wrote before the Top gear host are and have been real automotive journalist all their lives.
