Jay Leno's Green Car Challenge.

How can you so blatantly rip off Top Gear, and still have the segment suck so badly?

It's embarrassing.

Its hard to make "star in a reasonable priced car" suck even more.... but it did.

I watched his new show once and didn't think much of any of it. I thought it was supposed to have a different style than the "late show " but seemed very similar. He seemed to be reading 'q' cards more than normal. The green car "race" was very poorly done and a real bore.

I shouldn"t be judging on a single show but I am not impressed and I'm a Leno fan.

They just need to have his web show "Jay's Garage" turned into a real show... he has some seriously fascinating stuff and is knowledgeable to boot too.

Just a 1 night/week show, like a primetime Dennis Gage My Classic Car...

I'd vote for that...but NBC doesn't ask me...
