Jay Leno on American Top Gear and hosting it
http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol...cle3638037.ece
Cliff notes - I hope it won't be hosted by people who don't know cars - I hope we don't ruin Top Gear - We cannot replicate perfection (Original Top Gear) - Sponsors will be a big part in the reviews, losing the honesty - Opinions expressed in America may rile up much much more - He says no to hosting American Top Gear |

I completely agree with Leno.
Top Gear cannot be replicated!

+1 on everything said.
We'll destroy the show. I bet within a month of the American Top Gear launch, Clarkson and gang will be bashing it... and that will be great.

IMO, it'd be a lot smarter to just use BBC Top Gear as American Top Gear. Get a contract to run it on one of the big networks, and bingo, there's your American Top Gear.

I heard somewhere on the net that Adam Corolla was being considered for a host.... don't entirely know what that means.
But either way I know this American Top Gear will be a complete joke. Look at the host of every other car show out there, even Pinks. I just laugh whenever I watch any serious automotive program that the US produces, it's all bullshit... |

Btw, I really appreciate how Leno just seems to "get it." He's a true enthusiast and knows what most of us know.. Top Gear - (Clarkson + Hamster + May) + censored opinions + some sub par host like Carolla = Failure

The host Carolla just doesn't have enough character....the personality of Clarkson, Hammond, and May is just.....hilarious!!!
