Any fans of this magnificent motoring show? A US version of the show is currently being made to go on the History Channel: http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2010/04/21/topgear-usa-alive/Top Gear UK drives to Romania to find the best driving road in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLAtcrB0GZg

I probably won't watch the US version as it will most likely suck.

And I am hardly a gear head (can barely change the oil), but Top Gear and Car Talk (NPR) always manage to keep me entertained :)
It will be interesting to see how the US version does, some shows don't translate very well (coupling) while others like The Office tend to do well.

4. Love it, but I think I've seen them all already. |

I mostly love the odd wit of the hosts and writers.

The US version is going to be horrible, IMO.

I doubt if a US version would be a quarter as good.
