Car show suck on TV because for decades TV has had zero original ideas, and the networks milk any even mildly successful idea to death with multiple spinoffs.
Fast and loud aren't even remotely the beginning of the suckage. As best as I can remember it goes back to Orange county Choppers and Jesse James.

I'm going to google the Jay Leno show, (and pray it is on a channel I get) he is smart, funny, and a real car guy.

I did kinda like "Car Crazy" but the host was... well... and the car show with the guy that had the wild moustache who was also meh...

However we can't really blame only the networks, it is the general publics inability to watch something that isn't dripping with drama and histrionics.
