Just saw an ad for a new show on Speed. Called 5th gear. Looks like it might be the brits doin a version of Top Gear for us americans.
Speed channels write up:
"Fifth Gear
An exciting and informative motoring magazine series from the team who appeared in the BBC's hugely popular Top Gear. Topics include the best of new car reviews, second-hand bargains and industry news with a different feature piece in every episode.
Back-to-back new episodes every Monday at 9 & 9:30, beginning July 12th!"

It worked like this :
The original Top Gear was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Tiff Needell and Quentin Wilson. The BBC pulled it after 10 or so years when it's ratings slipped. Tiff and Quentin started Fifth Gear on Channel 5. The moment they did this, BBC revived Top Gear with a new line up (including Jeremy) and a new show layout that wipes the floor with Fifth Gear!!
I know what you mean about Tiff, an excellent broadcaster.

Hey as long as we get something like top gear here I'll be happy. I'm tired of seeing all these shows dedicated to nascar. Anything not nascar or ricer that Speed can ad to the channel works for me.
