Still think Leno, Tanner, and Ryan Secrest would be the best combo.
Put it on FX.

Leno shoulda been in it...
Jumping a car like that with no brace and no forethought is a sweet way to compress a disk...

The British show is produced for the BBC with public funds while the American show will air on commercial television. Leno believes that the show may have to worry about offending current and potential sponsors by giving their products poor reviews, leading to a compromise in the journalistic integrity and freedom of the original show.

Watch any of the car shows on Saturday morning and tell me they aren't commercials. I got bitter after they detuned and dyno'd an LS-6 at 200 rwhp to show the massive gains from a simple intake swap.

Gotta love the Saturday morning PowerBlock, huh Bill.
I will give this a chance, but I don't anticipate it being nearly as funny or truthful as the original.

I'm pretty sure BBC is the largest television broadcast company in the world if I'm not mistaken. I believe they own TLC and Discovery.

Yeah but all car rags rip on certain brands and leave some alone. The viewers are gunna make or break the show. The people that are gunna be watching at first are car people and they will decide.
