dodge viper and lamborghini.


two cars i couldn't care fkn less about.

how about cars normal people can afford? to me, every time i turn around there's some high performance car show featuring fkn lamborghinis, ferraris and the supercars of the world. WHO CARES. everyone knows that if you spend $375,000 on a car, it's going to be fast, handle great and be superior. god i truly despise this show already.

I don't think it's that bad so far. The chemistry between them isn't going to be like on the original Top Gear. They have had years together. Try not to think of it as another Top Gear and as just another car show. In that thinking It's a good show. Certainly better than some of the other ones out there.

Have you watched the original Top Gear? It's the same way. It's an entertainment show, if you want car reviews on affordable cars, hop over to Motorweek.

just wandering when they will do a muscle car show down, Camero, Stang, and Challenger. Maybe they will wait until the z28 or the alpha camaro's come out, if the show lasts that long.

Wow.... Your comment just made me You could care less about a Dodge Viper & Lamborghini? How do you think people would be judging this show if they just had slow 30-50k cars on it??? Its their FIRST EPISODE! So of course they gotta start it off with a bang.

EXACTLY thank you..... I've been saying it everyone is SO quick to judge. Its the first episode. I feel like everyone thinks they need to top BBC Top Gear with just there first episode..

granted, i hated original top gear. egotistical pricks, whose lust for the perfect vehicle could ONLY be found in a european supercar with a price tag of half a million dollars. by "affordable" i wasn't implying that they should feature grocery getters and honda civics, simply cars that are actually driven by real people. i saw the preview for next week's episode for the 350/370z, and that gave me some hope. i just don't want this to turn into the last top gear, where american cars were always the brunt of jokes and criticism.
