I think there is to be a US version of TopGear this year. They had a TopGear marathon on some channel this weekend of UK shows. I caught a couple.

soaps blow. they should be banned along with all reality tv. Replace it all with some fine racing programming.

Never heard of it, but that doesn't mean that it's not here.

How much programming does the Audi channel have on it? Is it just one long commercial after the next?
