Don't tell me you don't watch one or else you aren't really into cars. Let's hear it!

When I read the thread title, I thought you mean like a Car Show or convention that you visit...

But as far as television shows are concerned, Top Gear definitely has the best blend of humor, enthusiasm, technology, and entertainment.

God, I can already tell that the U.S. version is gonna suck.


Oh, and MTV's Pimp My Ride was always entertaining. Gotta love rice!

Top Gear, particularly for the colorful commentary by Jeremy Clarkson

Top Gear (UK version of course)
its funny, they comedy and wit is something US car shows lack (and dare i say it, never have). plus they get to drive cars we will never see on a road here in the US.

for ****s and giggles i've watched...
horsepower tv (spike, budget honda civic build was hilarious)
tricked out (DIY Network)
pimp my ride (mtv)
supercars exposed (speed)
nopi tunervision (speed)
dont know the name, but its an old show with some bald headed twins that were the host. it was comedy.

Top Gear

BECAUSE: it's more interesting than just a couple people standing around telling you what the specs sheet says and taking the cars on calm little test drives that you could easilly do your self

how many of you can organize a race between the new S6 and some French skiiers? ... or a race across the UK between the tube, a bike, a boat in the channel & a car with out some serious hinderances?

how many of you can find the smallest car and give it a little try out for a day (clarkson took it INTO his office remember?)

becuase it's all the stuff you would love to try your self with a car but for what ever reason just isn't feasible for you to try out

I love Supercars Exposed on Speed. They also have a new one "101 cars you should drive." That show looks pretty entertaining. Speed Channel has some good stuff on it. They do "First Drives" with C63 AMG or IS-F which is cool stuff. Street Tuner Challenge is a show I have been watching as well. I like these tuner DIY shows that explain what is going down on the cars.

PBS/MPT's Motorweek.
http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/



I know the show's host, John Davis, casually



and I have talked with Pat Goss, the show's auto technician, but don't personally know him.

Top Gear hands down.

I always felt guilty after watching Pimp My Ride...
