> Did anyone catch "Fifth Gear" on Speed Channel last night?
Yes! Fifth Gear (it is Fifth Gear, NOT Top Gear which another Brit auto
show) is fantastic, I've been hooked for about three weeks now...
It is amazing how much more candid the hosts are, rather than the inept
American auto journalists who routinely only criticize creature comforts
(like the placement of the cupholders or certain switchgear) rather than the
actual 95% of the rest of the car that matters.
Fifth Gear is quite refreshing in this respect, and it mixes its segments up
quite well with a blend of reviews of mundane hatchbacks and more unique
exotica (Pagini Zonda!) while at the same time offering up some niche pieces
like the TR5 segment and the guy who has a collection of 30+ Simcas.
Definitely good stuff!
