The only possible host was Jay Leno and he was smart enough to realize that Top Gear would have been ruined if it had been brought to the US because it could never operate with the editorial freedom of the British version. On the BBC, the gang arefree to call a car a piece of crap when it's a piece of crap. With the automakers among the biggest advertisers on television a US version of the show would be forced to call a piece of crap car the best thing since sliced bread.]]>May 15th 2008 10:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 15th 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 16th 2008 11:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 16th 2008 2:56AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 16th 2008 3:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 16th 2008 4:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/You bastards.]]>May 16th 2008 5:38AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 16th 2008 5:51AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/However that was over a year ago... ]]>May 16th 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/
Let's get a move on! I want Top Gear HD!!]]>May 16th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/May 19th 2008 12:44AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/There's probably some tiny clause somewhere in some contract that doesn't allow it, but it would still be the best thing Discovery ever did. Who here doesn't think it would be a hit?

Too bad American TV executives are a bunch of idiotic, Knight Rider-greenlighting, pandering, commercialized ponces. Long live the BBC! ]]>May 16th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/15/top-gear-hd-nbc-editions-stuck-in-park/
Top Gear is probably my favorite show ever, in its current format.

No need to mess with a winning formula imo.]]>May 23rd 2008 1:28AM
