Its pretty much a comedy show now tbh

It has very little to do with cars half the time.

I still think the car reviews that are in every show are good, very informative still but it is something they have already said will be a little better for due to some of the complaints in that area of the last series (we had a thread on that )

I can not wait for the boat car across the channel show, that I know will just be brilliant

I dont think I remember a car review in Top Gear recently that reviewed a car that 90% of the population could afford.

To be honest the cart bits bore me a little.

If they ever brought back reviews of normal cars I wouldnt watch it.

I dont give two f**ks how many mpg the latest 1.6 sh*tbox from ford will do, or how many babies it will carry. I want to see someone thrashing a supercar to within an inch of its diff.

Reviews of normal cars belong on channel 5.

Was watching an episode yesterday on Ukgold and they tell you how it feels to drive and the basic infomration on the cars and thats enough, you want to know the feel and what it offers YOU as a driver and top gear does that well. You can get a book or look on the net for all the massive detail of what a car can do but from a person you want to get the sense of what it is to drive.

Indeed.

I love watching it for the same reason I suspect a lot of the rest of us do - because wed all like to be there ourselves, boys with toys doing challenges and generally having an amazing time with amazing machines. I really dont care if the plastic dash on the new 1.4 Clio is tacky either.

I do want to escape for an hour to get the laugh and wow factor, being on the edge of my seat seeing who will win the weeks challenge.

I must admit I never really had the supercar thing, most of them are fugly and they dont interest me that much; I watch it almost soley for the daft challenges. If its a car heavy episode then I usually feel a tad disappointed, the longer and dafter the challenges the better.

I wouldnt mind if they scrapped Top Gear altogether to be honest as long as the three of them ended up on another show together doing stupid things.

More a sit-com than anything else now, i.e. over scripted and over done.

Still, it beats Song of Praise or whatever.

This exactly why Fifth gear bores me to death.  

Its a programme for car geeks and car geeks alone as Vicki Butler-Henderson gets off with the fact the diesel version is of something .00023 second quicker through the second turn as driving it in the shootouts.
