Fifth Gear > Top Gear
There' I said it. The guys from Top Gear are VERY entertaining, but if you're more interested in the cars than the entertainment, then I much prefer Fifth Gear. I'd nearly forgotten about it until something reminded me of it tonight. I'd be fine if it was just Tiff and Vicki B-H. She's a cutie, but even more importantly, seems to be as much a petrolhead as any of the rest of us.
Still, I'd happily watch old TG episodes and even the Grand Tour Episodes.

Are they still making Fifth Gear? I thought it was gone years ago. I enjoyed what I saw of it. Tiff is a little annoying but you get used to him once you figure out that he does know what he's talking about.

Per the Internet, Fifth Gear ran through 2015 and it was announced last June that it would be started back up.

Get off my lawn!

I liked 5th gear, but thier main focus seemed how to drift a car. They rated cars by how well they can drift. Just stupid and annoying.
To be fair, 90% of the car shows now have a driver hell bent on going slower by drifting. I guess the camera likes it. I just think it is stupid. Get off my lawn!
