WOW. Top gear is a show spanned all across the globe. The British/UK version with Jeremy Clarkson simply seems like the real deal because its the only one you're used to. And thats only because of BBC. Ones just as real as the other and just as crucial. Different global region have different vehicles available. In fact, Top Gear America is supposed to be kicking off and Adam Corolla is supposed to host it but i haven't heard any recent news about it.
