JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 I have been following Topgear now since it very first started and have always loved it. When the Aussie version of it came out i thought ok this might be quite good as its more to home up to date and reflects prices around what we would expect. Sadly i feel they have missed the mark completely, They have tried to take off Topgear in its entirety with their presenters and personalities not to mention test's and the stig and it just feels all wrong. Sorry but for me its a fail and i just cannot get into it. What do you think good or bad. ????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moktar 7 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 I cant believe the way they introduced the Stig, It was exactly the same way Clarkson does! Also the test track is shocking. My 2c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Yep, have to agree, it was shocking! Tried way too hard trying to be exactly the same as the UK version. I wanted to punch the main presenter in the head ha ha. Will not be watching again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Top Gear Russia and Australia are both terrible. Thank God they didn't make a USA version in the end. That guy off the Australian Top Gear has a pedophile moustache. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Nup can't get into it myself either. As above - wannabes trying to take off the original - dosen't work! Track is crap! May have been a better show if they had gone into with their own approach & style, but - I wonder if Jeremy had the controlling "influence" on how the show was to be presented - I suspect so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drifty325i 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 The presenters are freaks and totally try to rip off Top Gear UK. I know TG UK is rehearsed as well but the Ausy one is shocking, they sound like they are reading from a book in form2 haha. Cars are sweet though so ill mysky series link it all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M325is 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) hehe, when I saw the first episode I thought it was weird too, the presenter each have their own uk presenter to mimic, its so .... whats the word im looking for.... unimaginative or fake? Not to mention the camera work.... but then it would be hard to beat the uk original for camera angles and shots.
