Top Gear America Already Producing Their Drivel
Well, it's started. The drivel that'll be called "Top Gear" America and shown on the History Channel (huh?) is already in the works with filming being done in California. (oh, for the love of God, California is not the center of the damned universe, nor of this country).
In the line-up thus far: a Hyundai Genesis Coupe and a Ford Mustang.
Are you freakin' kidding me? These are already all over the place! They're already boring as it is because you can barely look around without seeing one of these things. How are cars you see in mass quantity as it is the least bit interesting?
I know it can't be super cars we can't afford all the time. I get that. How about highlighting the more obscure and dare I say, foreign? I've been begging for a while to see Fiats and Alfa Romeos over here. Yeah, according to AutoBlog, they're coming, but as Chryslers and Dodges. Taking good automotive design and beating it with an ugly stick is not the way to go. But I digress...
I guess what disappoints me the most about this whole Top Gear America is that the American auto market (the big 2.5 especially) is quite generic, dull, and uninteresting at the moment. Top Gear America will only highlight just how generic, dull, and uninteresting it is on this continent while trying to make itself and the cars they go on about interesting.
