Re: blue burnout

I like it. Just because imports over use something doesn't necessarily mean it can't look good on a domestic.

Re: blue burnout

Now all we need are combo color tires

Red/White on driver side, and White/Blue on passenger side

so your burnouts can be red, white, and blue.

USA is getting its own "Top Gear".........

April 20, 2010
Official: 'Top Gear' coming to History this fall

TOPGEAR It's official: “Top Gear” is crossing the pond.

History is teaming with BBC Worldwide Prods. to launch a U.S. version of the series this fall. The network has made a 10-episode commitment to “Gear,” which showcases all-things automotive — customization, stunts, reviews and auto-centric celebrity interviews.

History’s “Gear” will be hosted by comedian and “Rescue Me” co-star Adam Ferrara, stunt driver Tanner Foust and racing analyst Rutledge Wood. Scott Messick will executive produce.

“The history of the automobile and the history of America are intimately intertwined — to celebrate one is to celebrate the other,” History president and GM Nancy Dubuc said. “We’ll stay true to the original format and add a sense of the American car culture.”

“Top Gear” fits the History brand even better than one might expect. The network’s very first program to air on what was then called the History Channel was called “Automobiles: Corvette.” Car-related content has performed well on the channel, and History had several auto-related pilots in the works when it landed “Gear.”

“We have a ready-made audience for this programming,” Dubuc said. “We can stay true to form on this show and explore the history of cars and driving.”

“Top Gear” premiered in the U.K. in 1977, then relaunched in 2002 as a studio-based format. “Gear” is BBC Two’s most-watched program, and the brand has spun-off a magazine and road tour. NBC came close to doing a Stateside version in 2008.

BBC Worldwide exec vp programming and production Jane Tranter said the U.S. version has the potential to be an even bigger hit than the original.

“It will have a completely different landscape,” she said. “There’s a different relationship with cars in the U.S. and a fascination with customization that’s much greater than in the U.K. There’s the potential for the U.S. ‘Top Gear’ to have even greater traction with an audience.”

The potential business upside for the show is significant as the auto industry is the largest advertiser in the world. Yet Tranter assures that fans need not to worry about heavy-handed product placement and that the show will remain editorially independent.

Producers put considerable effort into casting the U.S. version, trying to find the right mix of hosts who would each bring a unique perspective yet mesh well together.

“We tackled it like a drama series,” Tranter said. “We need to get that balance of chemistry right from the get-go.

There is no substitute for Clarkson, May and Hammond. Why are they even trying (again)? At least name it something else.

I'm sure the US show will be "rubbish".

Unless the US show is allowed carte blanch and not required to push products it's going to suck.

Part of the reason Top Gear rocks is the chemistry between the presenters, the great writing that goes into the scripted portions (its not unscripted, if someone thinks so they should watch it carefully), and Top Gears ability to bite the hand that feeds it (i.e. the BBC).

If the US presenters need to be PC and have to push products then well, I'll ignore the show and let it flop.

One thing that annoyed me is no US production car show is "entertaining" to watch. The tires never squeal, the scripted portions have anything that MIGHT offend someone cut either. Car and Driver, Motortrend, Motorweek, Road and Track, all suck.

So I pronounce fail. Though I will watch the first episode to feel vindicated in my opinion.
