I'm sorry but I didn't rate the Aussie Top Gear... I found it boring and sometimes a bit like pulling teeth. Felt like they tried too hard sometimes!

This year I can see more of their focus shifting onto the Holden product. Shame, I know that Clarkson is a staunch advocate of British built cars however the Australian experience is brand focused not nationalistic.

That could be that Holden is just giving them more cars to use freely. Ford could do the same more yes?
I have noticed a Holden or 2 in each episode this season. |

And if Holden is giving them cars do you expect fair reports?

Much more entertaining than last season. The first ep of S02 was better than the one tonight though. Mr Morrison needs to relax though.

the presenters just seem so fake...they arent natural in front of the camera and its hard to be entertained when its like that
and seeing the same cars that you see on the road everyday is even more boring |
