Default Fifth Gear is back with a surprise

Fifth Gear is back on the air and they have Top Gears' former "Stig" Ben Collins on the first of two episodes. Seems like he will be on some of the episodes.

They are very tedious and dry. . . I may purchase a Camry to own, but if I'm looking to be entertained, I was something fast and exciting, like a BMW or better yet a Ferrari. And sure they may break down once-in-awhile, but it's entertainment. . . not the daily news.

Likewise, Top Gear may be a bit out there and extreme, a bit ludicrous, and even offensive. . . but it's ENTERTAINING. Fifth Gear is like looking to be entertained by a L4 powered base model Toyota Camry.

Fifth Gear is ok I think...not as good as Top gear definitely, but they do have a characteristics and goals all their own. Unlike Australian/Russian/etc countries top gear

Never been a fan of 5th gear. Just too... practical to keep me watching. I nearly fell asleep watching it the last time I tried. Ill watch top gear re-runs all the damn time tho.
