Those tools over at Top Gear Australia have got to be kidding. Now they are putting up Shayne Warne as the new host. Why don't they save everyone the trouble and cut straight to the chase and put Fatty Vautin as host. Then we can all stop watching it completely now and not have to ever view it again.

The entire thing makes no sense.

I must say though Fatty as host would be a laugh.

But it needs to be canned, theres only one TG, and its TG UK.

Sad how they ruined it's reputation making this pathetic attempt.

I mean... classic example when that fool revved up the LP560 cold in the studio. WTF

My wife tells me it might be going to channel 9. How good is that? Something like 20 minutes less of it to make way for the ads.

I diddn't mind the last season, I'm a big fan of James Morrison but the little guy who is the main guy is a bit of a twat.

The bit I hate most is the constant "holden vs Ford" debate. In the V8 supercar scene, I worked in the pits at bathurst 2 weeks ago, and none of them gave a crap- they are against the other teams, not the badge! and the supercars are pretty much identical these days anyway.

From what I see, the F v H "rivalry" is a total media stunt aimed at bogans to drum up publicity for the respective companies. Total farce.

Back to the point though, I think Aussie TG is and always was, a money making exercise. If they wanted to make it awesome, they'd have "backyarders" doing mods, chalenges, and explore the diverse niche car communities that australia has.

They might be lots less preocupied with "this week we test drive XYZ supercar worth $1 trillion around a go cart track and tell everyone that they are awesome" leave that to Wheels mag thanks.

What about Aussie ingenuity? thats what I'd like to watch.

And get Les Hiddins as the front man

Bush Tucker man revival FTW!

It will never be TG UK, but the Australian content, Scenery and Interviews with Aussie icons about is something I do enjoy, even if they are a little silly at times.

I'm not sure the point of topgear australia. The entire point of Topgear was the fantastic hosts with constant bickering followed by stupid stunts challenges and fast cars that noone can afford followed by some interview with occasionally great people and the stig setting a new laptime in a car.

So they could do all that here, in australia, except there was nothing specifically local about the UK version except the hosts. So they either need to change the formula (and hence not be top gear at all) or have hosts that are THAT fantastic that you watch it anyway.

In past times girls who i've dated watch that show with me if only to watch James May fail at something and politely announce "Oh cock". Well that and the rest of the show would be nearly as entertaining if they were riding around on mopeds or pushcarts even despite the cool cars.

UK Top gear - awesome. Reason: Access to fast cars, Autobarns, good technical knowledge, obsence budget.

Aussie top gear: Fail. Weak cars (Does anyone really give a rats arse about a new holden or ford..(Red necks excluded). Worthless hosts .. wow .. Warney.. he has a lot of cred with me.
