    Top Gear in firing line again...

    for the presenters wearing burqa type clothing during filming.

    Wonder how long it will take for the retribution to begin, given that it doesn't seem to take much to get the fanatics going?

    top gear is gone down the shitter, they went from a car show to a comedy show to a not very funny waste of time comedy show. although this wise men episode was entertaining.
    oh yeah and the complaining ned flanders hippies need to be shot

    the new Top gear USA however is brilliant! get it watch it.

    not at all. Top gear australia was the most rediculous thing ever, and not just because of their accents. but mainly they tried to be everything the UK guys were, and they just couldnt be.

    but TG USA isnt trying to be UK, and for that reason i think US > UK at the moment.
    i actually enjoy it. the presenters are good. and its in america so ofcourse it has good cars!. that ford raptor bit has me convinced to buy one

    As a Christian I was deeply offended by tonight's Top Gear where it was suggested that the the new 'Stig' was born in Israel.

    The Stig is a fictional character dressed in white, whose entire history is nothing more than a load of ridiculous, made up stories and no one has ever actually seen him.
    Whereas Jesus...

    So, it was FAR better than that crap Aussie version of the programme?

    I tend to agree, I used to really enjoy it, haven't bothered watching since they did that redneck episode.

    It is a shame 5th Gear was cancelled and not this dross.
    At least 5th Gear still talked about the cars. Top Gear seems to be all about the presenters now.

    Meh theres only so many clichéd car reviews you can sit through, Top Gear UK is one of the most un-pc TV shows, for that reason alone its worth watching. Clarkson's a bit of a knob but entertaining none the less.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    The camel jockeys get their knickers in a twist over just about anything these days.

    Whilst I agree that there are certain groups in society just waiting to be offended by something........let's face it, that was the whole point in Top Gear doing it...which for a while may be mildly amusing, but after a while it wears a bit thin. Unfortunately TG have been doing that for years.....bring back William Woollard !!..(if he's still with us?)

    Haha yeah that's true.


    I must say TG has strayed a bit from cars these days,it's always about the presenters,hamster and clarkson are knobs,James May is okay.

    ..oh and what's the point in reviewing the new ferraris,lambos etc,who can actually afford them??

    TG (UK) has with each passing season become little by little more and more silly, in the beginning it was rubbish but you could garner some useful information out of it and it was entertaining for sure, it's always had the wood on 5th Gear but the gap has narrowed considerably.
    The Ozzy TG has always been shit but a shit motoring program is always gonna be better the Coronation Street!
    That previously mentioned American TG is surprisingly close to the UK original as it currently stands which means it's silly, biggest disadvantage the Yanks have is it's testing a lot of American cars which means it doesn't matter how good of a line up of presenters they might find it'll always struggle... But I refer back to the Coro st comment.
    They should all start incorporating a bike segment into each show.
