    Default First Top Gear America taping - Kia Rio is SIARPC and both guests work for NBC




    Autoblog writes...

    What would Top Gear be without a star in a reasonably priced car? Well... better, for one thing. But that hasn't stopped NBC from porting over the red-headed step-child of Top Gear segments to the imported version of the show. According to Jalopnik, during tomorrow's taping, B-listers C-listers D-listers Howie Mandel and Melanie B (former Spice Girl) will be piloting the U.S.'s own version of a reasonably-priced car – a Kia Rio – around the newly minted Top Gear test track. What can we expect? Nothing good, we thinks. Nor does it bode well that both pseudo-celebs are part of the NBC franchise. Depressed? We thought so. But the taping is tomorrow, so we'll try to remain upbeat until the first reports from inside the studio surface.

    But even still i can recall all the segments that were any good.

    1. Simon Cowell
    2. Gordon Ramsey
    3. The onces with girls.

    So it's rare for it to be a good one.

    the one with james blunt was hilarious, because JC pretty much sat there and insulted him the whole time
