“and guess who wins the battle of the soft roaders….starts with a N…”

Actually, it starts with a V (brand) and a T (vehicle). Shame they didn’t review it though (yet). I’ll let you figure out the rest…

Tony said” But you wouldn’t listen to any of the guys from TG if you were seeking advice on a particular car”.

You’re right there. We all know how Clarkson feels about Vauxhalls particularly the Vectra. Currently outsells the new mondeo by far. Indeed Vauxhall have 3 in the top ten sellers.

Do SBS do the internet streaming bit like the BBC. I’d love to see the show.

“Just read that Vince Colosimo will appear on the first show.

Now I know the series is going to be crap. ” – LOL Reck!

I just hope they don’t just have stars of SBS tv shows only trying to crosspromote SBS programs through this show…

Must say I am looking forward to this show.
BUT why oh why , like so many media these days, do they refer to the top gear UK as a ‘Brit’ show. Brits are what the seppos call them. We call them POMS!!!!!!!!!

I’m open to all that the show has to offer and will try not to compare. I’m happy to watch BOTH shows of course.

The UK lads have brilliant chemistry on camera. I’m not expecting these guys to try to copy them, but I expect they’ll have their own brand of chemistry.

We have some real characters here in Australia. I’m sure we all know that older guy that has a quirky taste in motoring and a great many stories to tell (the likes of Paul Cockburn).

I already feel a serge of pride, I can’t wait to see the first of hopefully many series. These boys were picked out of 4000 applications, they would have to be well rounded in their knowledge and be entertaining as well. Come on Aussie.

you are right kgl. Fifth Gear is the real car show and the car show that Top Gear used to be up until 2001, at least.

Top Gear has twice the audience or more than Fifth Gear because it is Entertainment,as you rightly note.

But you wouldn’t listen to any of the guys from TG if you were seeking advice on a particular car, you would listen to the presenters on Fifth Gear or better still, read the reviews on Car Advice!

Tom how do you know these guys can’t be funny?
I love top gear because its not just about cars its about entertainment, fun and adventure even.

if you want a car show just watch fifth gear?

I’m not expecting this show to beat the uk version but I am hoping that it is enjoyable so I’m open for anything when it comes to this new series

I cannot wait.

I’m a bit disappointed already, i wanted a car show. The comedy only works with the three brits.

Is that a Mini Moke diving car? Nice!
Take a note of the SUV’s rego numbers.They will be at auction soon! Lol.
I have always thought when watching UK Top Gear ‘this show needs more Rav4’s, X-trails, and forrester comparisans!
/sarcasm.
