Now this is a spin off of my other thread so who do you thank on the US verson of top gear will end up driving the Camaro

You know, I'm not sure I'm going to give TGUS more than one episode. Now, I will say that I was suprised that I like Corolla when he test drove the G8, but I'm not sure I would like he sort of comedy on this show, especially since the Brits' have established it. If TGUS does show Camaro off, I'll watch regardless of what I think of the show itself. I think everyone should drive it though. I think Foust should make it look the coolest. I don't know this Stromer cat is, but Corolla should make it look good around a track too I guess.

Expect the Camaro to be on Top Gear and to get a great review. The American pony car is legendary for car culture worldwide. Expect the US and British versions to pose the revived pony cars in a positive light. They'll complain about weight and how there isn't a traditional stripper model for the Camaro, but the Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro all have religious followings much like they do in the United States, so expect Top Gear to say good things about them.

Yeah Clarkson Loves Camaros Anyway.. He Will whine and complain about this and that. but in the end he will still love it..

It's all about keeping up appearances. He only appears to love countries from Europe, so he has to keep it up.

I'll be interested to see what the show is like. I don't watch Top Gear UK too religiously, so I will have an easier time watching it objectively. My fear is that it will be too sponsor pleasing -never saying anything bad about the manufacturers airing commercials.
