Totally wrong!

There's no proven franchise, just a proven show with the particular hosts it has. There's no guarantee whatsoever (implied by the word franchise) that it can be a success with any other hosts.

I'm not saying it won't be good. I remember Adam did a good job on The Man Show, and that had a bit of the kind of feel that a Top Gear show would need.

I certainly hope it is a success, it increases the number of car shows available to watch :-)

There were no verbs or nouns in there that made any reference to doing anything specific.

Plus, how on earth (or any other planet) could "they" award him that special medal for bringing the message to a billion people. I've never heard him say a single thing about Scientology ... EVER !! It's like he hasn't wanted to say anything about it, barely even acknowledging publicly that he was officially a crazy (Scientologist).

If he's brought Scientology to a number of people, I'd guess it'd be a number below 100.

Once you get to those power and speed figures, you're looking at around 100bhp extra for each 10mph increase.

On the other hand, if it's ownership we're talking about. Well, I'd want my car to be able to do more than 3 laps without falling apart, blowing a clutch, overheating, losing the back wing and similar things that have happened on both 5th Gear and Top Gear tests with the K-egger, so the Zonda would win if I was spending my $$$$.

Or it could be a two-door Coupe ;-)

The original Dukes Of Hazzard show faced the same problem and ended up re-using old stunt footage in the later episodes. It wasn't a coincidence that all those jumps over the river looked the same ;-) So they have to use a current car, and they can easily get a good supply of these (even if most of them are base models with a body kit on them and not actually GT500's).

It took 12 years for something to beat it on performance, or at least something that can beat it consistently without setting fire to itself or falling apart after 3 laps around the track.

I think it looks the part still too. I prefer it over the looks of a Veyron.

If there was an F1 2.0 for the 21st century, with whatever BMW (or more likely Mercedes now) could supply for an engine, then I doubt the Bugatti would be ruling the roost.

If BMW could deliver 627 horses back in the early 90's, I'm pretty sure that McLaren would have no problems getting one of the German Big 3 to deliver 1000hp to them now, especially if they compromised and accepted a few turbos.

btw, not an Audi fanboy, I just happen to own an Audi (first one ever) right now.

Then it's not interesting is it.

>But still, it's an RS200

But still, no it isn't.

It's no surprise that more than two thirds of all the lawyers in the whole world live in the US. Yes, that's 66% of the world's lawyers exist to serve 5% of the world's population. As they say in South Park "that's pretty f*cked up right there".

Search on youtube for jeremy clarkson national television award and you'll find it.

As for this topic, won't it be great if Alonso signs on for a team that has no chance, like Redbull :)

Same question applies here as on the previous one - who's the woman in this picture?

I'm surprised the GNX got so many votes after all the noise made last time about what a travesty it was.

Nice photoshop job, that would be a much better car to be building.
