@hjkim550,

Well Baskin-Robbins didn't make money selling Ice Cream. They made money selling 31 flavors of Ice Cream - something for everybody. I guess the same aplies here.

I understand how some may find the show funny, enlightening, whatever.

But, what really did it for me was when Jeremy Clarkson trash-talked the Lotus Elise, said the handling was poor and overall the car was junk, comparing it to a Ford Fiesta. Then, a Lotus test driver took it and Jeremy around the test track and bested Jeremy's time by 11 sec. - Shows how little he knows about driving.

Helen Mirren, Michael Gambon, Hugh Grant, Gordon Ramsey??? What can they possibly contribute to a show about cars?

If I wanna go see people driving like fools, all I have to do is take a spin on the expressway.

I realize, everyone's opinion is not the same, but for me I can't watch this show. If I want current info. on new or upcoming cars, I spend my time watching some of the more credible shows.
