This video shows why I don't think Jay Leno would be a good Top Gear host. Most of the time he is just asking the dude questions. Feels like I'm watching someone ask a salesperson at a dealership questions.

Yeah...he needs to learn how to sideshow. LOL

That car was pretty nice. I like those seats.

ESP was on. Um, I guess it just shows how good ESP is?

I don't know if you've seen the other video reviews of his, but it looks like he always has someone there to "represent" the car and ask questions. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do it for the U.S. Top Gear.

Nice site, I enjoyed Jay's reviews of the McLaren F1, Audi R8, new Jag, GT3, Carrera GT, CLK63, looking forward to more reviews. Is this just a internet show or does it come on TV? Hopefully Jay does the American Top Gear soon.
