Australian Top Gear is also in production

I agree with Firebird86... Seems like the British comedies that were Americanized flopped pretty fast too. Absolutely Fabulous, Coupling and we want to ruin Top Gear now..... It's great just the way it is.

I love the show, but I dont think an American version of the show is gonna make it, half the attraction of the Original Top Gear is the dry banter between Clarkson, Hammond and May. These guys are into cars, except maybe James May, but they are obviously friends, Adam Carola seems as into cars as Im into macrame. Tim Allen would make a good host. But as currently planned, I see this going down in flames...

I think it's a good idea; but it should be something different, with some new ideas. But the most important thing of it is that the responsibles should be people that like and know about cars, otherwise it will be just another easy-show that wont stay long aired.

I am unfamiliar with the other two guys, but I think Adam Carolla may be entertaining as a smart-ass persona similar to Jeremy Clarkson, he was pretty funny on The Man Show. I'd never heard of Top Gear before I came to IMCDb, but have recently gotten into watching it on BBC America.

I completely agree with Jay Leno. I'm glad he had the smarts to run away from the show. I hope it does well....but have a feeling it's not going to.

That's great, i wish we would get somethign similar in Spain, anyway Leno is quite right in what he says, better to do something new or different than trying to copy the original show...

I read on IMDb that a US adaptation of the BBC show is apparently going to start production. (I guess it is not really new news, but it's the first I'd heard of it.)

Jay Leno had an interesting take on it:
