Everyone's favorite car show is Car and Driver.
Today on Car and Driver TV, we test 5 minivans.
Then we will look back at a really old piece of crap Ford on classic car and driver.
Then we find which car we would rather drive, Ford Focus or Chevy Aveo.
And if you are lucky we will show you 30 seconds of some expensive car.

There was one show where they were testing performance cars, it took them 15 minutes to figure out how to start a Lotus.

Top Gear is the most entertaining, but it is fun watching Tiff drive and VBH is pretty nice.

They used to be so much better... I don't like the new format we've seen this season, it seems like they're trying too hard. And the new guy is absolutely awful. :

You took the words out of my mouth. Maybe they're out of budget and they have resorted to desperate means to compete with TG. With TG I can only expect to see Fifth Gear's viewership to keep falling.

I personally don't like it as much anymore. It's not a very fun program to watch and not even close to being as good at top gear. The people on this show are so cheesy. I respect Tiff and all but the rest of cast is a wee bit annoying. Don't get me wrong, i'll bang the crap out of Vicki anyday but that still doesn't make me want to watch the show. All the informative stuff is really boring as well.

Re: Fifth Gear - 12-07-2006, 05:19 PM

For pure unadulterated fun, you can't beat an episode of Top Gear. Any episode. The creativity of the road tests is just fantastic, and it is a show that anyone can enjoy- my mother even thinks its entertaining. There's no doubt Tiff is a fantastic driver, and the best part of the show is watching him go around a track, but that little Jason Plato annoys the hell out of me, and Vicky just giggles and screams too much. Can we have another option on this poll? "Yes I watch it but only because I love cars and there's nothing else on"?

Tiff is a great driver and much better than J. C.
Now only if Tiff was as good of a talker&writer.
Vikki IMO is really not hot and even that can't keep me to continue watching this show.
The only positive thing I can think aobut the show is the new guy Jonny Smith.

Top gear is great. I love watching it as does my wife. I'm sorry, whoever thinks Vicki is hot or wants to do her, I would love to see what your wife/gf/fiance looks like, because I don't think she's hot at all.
