    EXCLUSIVE: US Top Gear To Put Howie Mandel And Melanie B In Reasonably-Priced Kia Rio

    Well folks, we've now heard from two separate sources that the reasonably-priced car that Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer will drop stars behind the wheel of will be none other than the Kia Rio. But that's not all we've learned. Our sources also tell us the first two stars to sit behind the wheel will be the Dealin' Howie Mandel and Spice Girl Melanie B. And with that choice, the producers have now set aside any questions about whether they'll be kowtowing to the needs of the network. But hey, we've got an added surprise for you — some on-set pictures that have come by way of the Motive Mag/VWVortex Car Lounge. Remember, if you happen to be on-set tomorrow, snag us some shots.

He's certainly got a pretty face — looks made for TV, but who is this guy? Does he have the chops to make it as a host on the American imported version of our beloved Top Gear franchise? Does he whiten his teeth? All fair questions. More »
