You&#8217;re missing out, Chris. Top Gear is awesome. I&#8217;ve seen it having the same ratings with Americans as most American Drama shows. &#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://friendfeed.com/shafiq" uid="8e6ab1b2-37cd-11dd-8bdb-003048343a40" class="friend-friend l_popup">Shafiq Jetha</a> via <a class="friend-via" href="http://www.twhirl.org/" rel="nofollow">twhirl</a>

Isn&#8217;t there an American version due out soon? &#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://friendfeed.com/briansullivan" uid="07d38d3a-2789-11dd-9b5e-003048343a40" class="friend-friend l_popup">Brian Sullivan</a>

No offense, but I imagine an american version will preserve none of the qualities that TopGear has. For a start, Clarkson, May and Hammond are a completely irreplaceable combination (even though Clarkson is actually a very carefully crafted character, and nothing like his real self). Then there&#8217;s the heritage of the show itself, it was after all born from the ashes of a &quot;normal&quot; motoring magazine show. I&#8217;m sure a US version would be great&#8230;.for America. It wouldn&#8217;t be Top Gear though &#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://friendfeed.com/slippy" uid="3de084a3-a7c9-4853-81fb-c8090f65e9b6" class="friend-friend l_popup">Slippy Lane</a>

+1 Alex &#8211; The Stig is, in fact the world&#8217;s greatest racing driver robot, which is ironic when you consider that Top Gear&#8217;s main &quot;competitor&quot; is Fifth Gear, which is presented by Tiff Needell, a man commonly acknowledged to be the world&#8217;s WORST racing driver! :-) &#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://friendfeed.com/slippy" uid="3de084a3-a7c9-4853-81fb-c8090f65e9b6" class="friend-friend l_popup">Slippy Lane</a>

Have you watched this show? What&#8217;s your take on it? Do you feel an American version could be just as good?</p>
