    I find that with a lot of people, they love Top Gear but have no interest in cars whatsoever.
    I have also noticed that after watching it for a while, they can hold their own in a conversation about cars a bit further than 'It was a red one'.

    most normal cars are boring. top gear cars are normally more interesting, or are used in interesting and fun ways. i like motor racing, i like mythbusters, technology stuff etc, so i like hearing about high performance cars and watching some of the wackyer things on top gear

    tonights episode, stretch limos should be good

    I am interested in cars, and I prefered Top Gear when it was on Thursday nights for 30 minutes, and was aimed towards people who were interested in cars, and who had normal attention spans, and didn't rely on childish antics to keep them watching.

    That Top Gear is watched by so many people who have little interest in cars, is a classic example of a TV show 'selling out', in a bid to grab high ratings.

    I don't care how many miles per gallon the latest small econobox gets. I prefer to watch the supercars and funny segments on the modern Top Gear.

    So watch 5th Gear (if it's still on).

    Top Gear is an entertainment show first and a car show second. I think it's brilliant, the 3 presenters have a great balance, they could be talking about anything and still keep the viewer entralled.
