I've had it with unobtainium cars on top gear. Shows at its best when it does everyday cars. UK version is great because they call out POS for what they are.
I don't need a fucking informertial or stupid "speed week" with the worlds supercars.

I like that its on the History channel, as long as there is no auto sponsorship. Tanner speaks his mind, even about cars he uses and is sponsored by, but I see that fat guy being a shill and I like Ferrara cuz he wont care, he will say a car is shit cuz he came from nothin and he has a gig on Rescue Me, so this is just for laughs.

I think putting it on cable was about the only chance the show had to avoid being an industry shill. History isn't solely dependent on advertising dollars to fund their network like NBC is. History also doesn't have to worry about pissing off their affiliates since they don't have any.

History's problem will be their owner (A&E Networks, joint venture between Hearst, Disney-ABC, and NBC Universal) getting nervous. That should be manageable though since an advertiser would risk alienating half the major broadcast networks. My guess is they will still play it safe by only testing supercars they will always love and hold challenges involving older used cars advertisers won't care about.
