Recently, we were accused of wanting the upcoming US version of the UK's Top Gear to fail because we're part of the self-hating class of "anything American sucks" coastal elites, who would rather give the whole of Europe a go at our sister than consider an American media product culturally relevant. That couldn't be further from the truth (punk rock!), but if the US version is merely a dumbed-down, puffed-up, "righteous, dude," Spike TV-ready version of Top Gear, it will suck, and suck hard. Top Gear magazine put up the a profile on the show's production that ran in its print edition recently. Read it and make your predictions. [Thanks to Don for the tip.]
