I'm going to miss it. It was a car show and I watch any I can find. However, I was growing annoyed at Clarkson. He is stupendously opinionated and somewhat obnoxious. SOme of the cars he put down were unbelievable. For example the GT Continental. The other people on the show said the car was fantastic in every way. Every review I've ever read says the car is fantastic. Clarkson says he didn't like it and would never own one. He's entitled to his opinion but how can every single other person who touches it like it but him. It's the way he says things. He complained about the position of the armrest. Then moved it and complained about it again. He gave the car great reviews for power, handling and ride then puts it down and uses the armrest as one of the reasons? I thought that was a crock and vowed to no longer read his reviews of anything.

Thank you for contacting Discovery Channel. We appreciate you taking the

The "Top Gear" show was not "taken off the air" but rather ran its pattern.
It is being revamped for a U.S. audience and will return later this year.
Look for it in December.
