But TG isn't designed to be a 'serious' motoring show any more ......
Old ladies (their mums) racing hatchbacks - hilarious ....
The 'buy an old sh**ter for a £100 and race it to Scotland' segment - great ....
The public transport vs Clarkson in a supercar - legendary .......
Ok, the majority of what they show are 'poster cars' but , the show long ago ceased to have any semblance of serious everyday car comparison , i think they have realised that shows such as that , have a limited market and have gone for the mass-appeal , very successfully IMO .....
You wouldn't watch Top Gear if you were weighing up the pros and cons between a Mondeo and a Vectra with the view to buy ....
Hell, even my wife likes to watch Top Gear !
EDIT :- Beat me to the post Mark !
