Overall I’m pretty happy with the show despite the current try hard approach. There’s a rich history of Australian motoring which should set it apart from the UK version – I’m not a Falcon/Commodore lover but it was still great to see those two Aussie icons being thrashed around on the track.

On the downside I really hate the lap track with all the cones and bollards, it’s just not easy to follow what’s going on.

“As usual, CarAdvice has been given a sneak peek”

Not that it’s on their website or anything…

Sounds awsome can’t wait. Every Monday night at 8:30pm I get dissapointed because its the longest amount of time I have to wait before more Top Gear. Top Gear Rocks, I can’t till Monday!

From the feedback on this blog, you cannot say that TGA has divided the nation. The condemnation is almost universal. The teasers such as these sneak peaks show how weak the show is. It cannot stand on its own.

As has been overwhelming stated, get some decent presenters etc, etc, etc.

It is sad that this is such a poor show as it makes it harder for anyone to get a decent show to air.

The Porblem with Top Gear Australia is they are trying to hard to be or out do the UK team.. They need to calm down abit and not try to excite the audience with such over enthusiastic voices. Although that old guy is the only one who is any good in the show. Lets hope it improves. Lets hope we see a Top Gear Australia vs Top Gear UK showdown

When it comes to The Stig ..

Clarkson says : “Some say he’s blah blah blah ”
Cox says : “Some say he’s blah blah blah ”

Cox was trying too hard to act Clarkson

With Top Gear UK you have Jeremy as the arrogant stuck up guy, James as the eccentric, and Richard as the clown. With Top Gear Australia, they are all pretty much the same as each other!! Even Fifth Gear is more interesting, and thats saying something.

Suggestion. Get rid of the contrived buddy buddy mate maaaaate stuff. Stop trying to be funny. Say what you really think about the car – if it’s junk, say it. Don’t do fake laughter. Get rid of the carbon copy UK presentation… you just look like a pale imitation. We want you to suceed, but at the moment all you are giving us is exactly the same show with three guys who are not Clarkson, Hammond & May, which makes it suck. Be original. Be Australian.
