TopGear, a very popular car show

Top Gear, an automobile program that has been aired on the BBC in the U.K. since 1977.

In Japan, the program is aired frequently on BS Fuji, including reruns. 2016 marks the start of the new Top Gear, but the three host groups up to 2015(Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May)was quite interesting. In fact, it seems that when Jeremy Clarkson joined the show in 1988, the show became instantly more interesting and popular.

What are the highlights of the program?

Perhaps the reason for the program's popularity is the antics of these three old men. It is hilarious to see these old men doing whatever they want like boys, and I think it is amazing that the BBC has tolerated this kind of thing. As for the highlights...

1) The plan is too absurd.

Or, "Buy a truck for 5,000 pounds, and the three of you will each customize your own truck and take on various impossible challenges, such as drifting, hill starts, and so on."

(And the truck is on fire.)

"I'm going to try to finish a long-distance race in Vietnam, sometimes on a raft."and

(What if this falls down?)

'To solve the problem of low rail ridership in the UK, I'm going to try my hand at making a train using a Jaguar XJS and an Audi S8.'and

(Eventually the train made of cars was wrecked)

These are all projects that would be out of place in Japan. The budget for the program must be great.

(2) Criticism of the car (relationship) without teeth

He goes completely beyond the level of "toothless," and he will tell you that if you don't like the car, he'll beat you to a pulp and rag on you. During the Prius episode, after being ragged on, he was sniped to pieces with a machine gun and made to look like a beehive. ((((; ))))

And then there are quotes like this.

Classic cars, like your dog, will eventually fail you and die.

in Tokyo

People get married, raise children, and die in their minivans.

(Laughs.) It's true...he seems to be talking nonsense, but he is right on the point, so I guess I can see why he would say that.

3) Gorgeous guests for the "Celebrity Race".

There is a regular program in which celebrities drive cars and compete for the best time for a lap around a test track, and each time the guests are famous athletes, singers, actors, comedians, politicians, etc. There was once a time when Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise were both on the show.(And Tom Cruise was good at running again.)

What is Jeremy Clarkson's assessment of "Porsche"?

So how was Porsche rated on the show? The host, Jeremy Clarkson, hates Porsches (he prefers Mercedes-Benz), so it's a rag every time, but on the other hand"Oh, yes, I suppose you could say that."I'm sometimes convinced that it's a good idea (laughs).

About Porsche Design

I often wonder if there is no such thing as a designer at Porsche. I think they are people who have never studied art.

■About the design of Cayenne

As with most of today's Porsches, the design isn't much better; it's as ugly as the badger carcass that died two weeks ago. (2010)

About Panamera

The Panamera's design looks like the drowned body of a 911. The body is bloated and bloated. Ultimately, this car is as ugly as a monkey with its skin pulled off. I drove this car to Romania and found it to be a very capable car. But this is like complimenting an ugly person for having a beautiful heart. (2009)

Other Quotes

Other examples include James May'sWhy cars are so boring these days."This is what he has to say about the(I wonder if this is some kind of interview)

Someone who doesn't like cars did the project.
Someone who doesn't like cars designed and
Someone who doesn't like cars, who develops them, who
Someone who doesn't like cars, does the test, and
Someone who doesn't like cars, who manufactures them, who
Someone who doesn't like cars did the inspections, and
Because someone who doesn't like cars sells them.

My husband said, "Exactly!" (laughter).

When you think about it, Japanese car shows are more serious...they don't plan a lot of variety, and they often express themselves in an oblique manner, still considering the people involved.

thereforeI'm tired of those Japanese car shows."If you're a "I'm a fan of Top Gear," it would be interesting to see Top Gear. However, it seems that in 2015, Jeremy Clarkson and the show got into a dispute, and now these three have left Top Gear andThe Grand Tour" available exclusively on Amazonin charge of the new Top Gear. The current new Top Gear doesn't seem to be getting much recognition, but it's doing a more proper project than the previous one, and（I guess the last one was too much.)I think I'm good, and the reviews are serious.

Please take a look.
