Excellent spin-doctoring from Cox, SBS and their PR hacks.

He was pushed, people. Sheeesssh!

Bring on James Morrison. Yay!

Eric Bana would be perfect for this show

Thank goodness Charlie Cox is gone. He was painful, grating, out of his depth and not at all suited to the role. Even though he made the show almost unbearable to watch I hung there as I do agree with EELES that we are lucky to have TGAUS and should support it always. Bring on Season 2 and James, it’ll be a huge improvement.

Guys and Girls, We are lucky to have a version of Top Gear,thanks to the BBC, SBS and Freehand.
Let us not deviate from that, whoever hosts the show doesn’t matter because we have the show, for awhile anyway.
Charlie Cox, whilst having an ego, and why wouldn’t you driving Porche’s all day, did a good job in an envoiroment that he was not used to, same with Warren and Steve.they are people just like you and I.
It takes time to adapt to television, when you have not had experience in it before. The producers have decided, that feedback from the viewers called for a change. Good on them. Before we crucify anybody, look at the show that we have, it’s a bonus, and I for one, am rapt that we have an informative motoring show, that by the way, is entertaining.
Bring on James, as a talanted and humerous car nut. We are all different and the way we express ourselves is what makes us Australins. Good luck to all the presenters as I know we all want the show.

Top Gear used to have Vicki Butler-Henderson (now on Fifth Gear) who was a rally driver and there was a UK Channel Four show called Driven who also had a female rally driver. Certainly a good idea, I just can’t think of any Aussie female tv presenters I would want to see on there. They are all silly melodramatic bints.

I’m with fasthonda.The show needs a woman. My wife thinks a chick called Juliet Potter who has a website for women and cars would be good. I’d be happy with that too.

Quote [Pious]: “when I wished for a presenter with big tits, Morrison wasnt exactly who I had in mind.”

I think that Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati are Boobs… Charlie is just a Cox!

^I agree with you Simon, I didn’t mind Charlie, he knew what he was talking about. Warren was consistently getting facts wrong and I don’t think he knew enough about cars, to be on a car program.

I might be in the minority here but if a host had to go then Cox is the last one I would have tipped.

It’s Warren and his bad jokes that really need to go.

However since I did’nt really like the first series much at all any change might help.
