THANK GOD! The only thing NBC would have done to Top Gear is ruined it.
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.
