I like Top gear more.
I like it when they take the piss out of the cars, people, places, them selfs basicly every thing

I saw this weeks 5th gear and they are 100% right about the car E90 335i TT.

I hope Top gear will be back on soon.

5th gear is the only one on TV. I hate watching things on the computer.

Both are frankly childish and I do not find them particularly intelligent or informative. However, at least Top Gear is entertaining. 5th gear is simply idiotic, and the presenters have all the acting/emoting ability of wooden monkeys.

Having a choice - I would rather read.

Oh, no, that's not the issue. I like playing.

But to watch other people play, they need at least to be entertaining! Which 5th gear is definitely not.

Top gear used to be good, about real cars & motoring issues. But now its a joke. Its a copy of a UK show ' last of the summer wine ' which I doubt is shown anywhere else. A comedy about 3 old duffers larking around. 5th gear is similarly inane.
Top Gear/5th gear/pimp my ride! are entertainment, but detached from reality.
There is definately a place for a new 'serious' car show.
Both are focused on speed & daft pranks that are a danger to other road users, and the shows presenters!.
On UK Sky satellite there is, believe it or not, an Audi channel, it is pretty interesting!. Give it a go!

Agree 5th gear isn't but the single thing that makes me about 5th gear is Tiff for which i have lots of respect for man that he is, for it's character, tastes last but not least for his real racing-driver history.

Top Gear, no doubt about it. 5th Gear was quite good. I really liked the season before this one. In fact, the current season is REALLY lame and I hate that Tim Lovejoy. Well, at least the latest show was a bit of an improvement over the 7 first episodes.

I just hope Top Gear return as soon as possible.
