Top Gear going on World Tour
While Top Gear spin-offs are planned for Australia and the U.S., it seems that the same people that put on the MPH show abroad will be bringing the "spills and thrills" of Top Gear to 15 countries around the world. The locations and dates aren't set yet, but since the BBC was specific that Clarkson, May and Hammond would only be appearing during the British leg of the show, don't expect to see your three favorite motoring presenters here in the States anytime soon.
Thanks to all who tipped in.

WTF? It's not Top Gear without Clarkson. Who's going to be representing Top Gear in the States? Adam Carolla? Boooooooo. Seinfeld? Even bigger BOOOOOOOO. Leno? That's OK, I guess.

Those three make the show. I honestly won't have any reason to watch the US version.
By the way, Richard Hammond kinda looks like Doctor Who played by David Tennant.

I don't see how a copy show can work.Who ever hosts the show states side won't bash and berate NO car is safe from scathing digs and thats what make s top gear fun.They will be all nicey nicey because you see , it will be sponsered by the same auto companies. And in the US thats bad for business, The mighty dollar. Can you imagine in the US getting away with calling the rear suspension on a vet antique world war 2 technology as clarkson did.
