    I think the problem is it doesn't know what it's supposed to be.It is a car show but doing donuts in the bush or going up and down a runway isn't testing a car,the show is also supposed to be funny,it isn't and the stunts are not original either.I think that one thing about the original is they bag cars that are crap and give thier opinion on them,there is no way the Oz version will do that.

    I think the problem is the attempt to clone the U.K show was always going to be near on impossible to pull off, the chemistry between the presenters is not there and their choice of presenters was flawed from the start. Fair play to the ABC, they threw a big budget at it but it just does not work, if you set out copying every nut and bolt of a successful show like Top Gear then you are always going to be compared to the original and in this case ......it sucks.

    Bingo !!!!


    And THAT is what distinguishes a good car show from an advertorial.

    Audiences aren't stupid - they know the difference !

    With Joshua Dowling involved I would be surprised if anything except a Toyota won. But Lexus despite being a Toyota isn't spelt 'Toyota'.

    You would hope so. In reality its a far far better car than the Lexus, and the Q7 while been a good car, isn't really in the same class.
