And they must dispense with the vignetting lens filters (ala BBC's TG) less viewers think this is actually the real Top Gear they're watching. They're not planning on channeling May, Hammond and Clarkson are they? Yesh.

Good call. It would take about a $50 budget to make it the best car show on American TV (anything is better than Motorweek), but calling it Top Gear instantly brings comparisons to one of the most popular shows on the planet. Besides, are we really that uncreative?
