'...tricked out hot-rods...'

[Steve H]

Oh dear, Top Gear arrives in the US with American format.

Link and more information.

'...(Jay) Leno expresses concern that an American version could lack the critical reviews the British version is known for. The British show is produced for the BBC with public funds while the American show will air on commercial television. Leno believes that the show may have to worry about offending current and potential sponsors by giving their products poor reviews, leading to a compromise in the journalistic integrity and freedom of the original show.'

Could be interesting (for 'interesting' read 'dull'!).

Its more of an entertainment show than about giving critical reviews.

The one here is very English, and the one there will be very American.

I doubt that it will be as funny to us, but I'm sure it will be more funny to Americans.

I think Jay Leno doesn't like the possibility of there being another entertainment show in town so is warming up to telling people its shit.
