I HATE the new format :( They're ruined the basic premise of the show.
The best part of the old show was the absolute torture that they inflicted on the "victim", and the 180 deg emotional swing that they experienced when discovering the truth. I think we've all put ourselves in the shoes of the victim and tried to imagine the emotional rollercoaster that they're going on.
I can't Imagine thinking that my car was stolen/destroyed and gone forever...only to discover that not only am I getting my prized possession back...but with a 100000% improvement.
The new format lacks the same pain and anguish...thus losing the passion and emotion of the reveal. Now it's just another Custom Car show like the other 20 that are on TV.
