meh, I wish Automobile magazine was in video format.

it's easily my favorite car rag out these days. Honda Tuning is nice but it's a brand magazine.

Honda tuning is getting to small and filled with ads, I have issues from back in the day where it was 60 pages of TECH, and bashing ricers

r and t is good, but Automobile has more snide comments from Kitman and Dyer.

Camissa isn't bad either.

I liked the article he did with 5 60's era roadsters, 4 of which he owned.

but just looking at the guy, you know he's gonna cry about stuff.

I don't really pay attention to the hosts, I just like when they show the cars, and how they drive, etc.

The talking portion is kinda, eh. So I don't care who casts it....

You mean the part where they take 3 lamborghinis and proceed to "compare" them by driving in a straight line for a while? Yeah, I like that part, too. Wait, no I don't, it's s***.

yeah, just a little bit.

the show has gotten progressively better though, honestly at a much quicker rate than the UK show did.

I've watched this show for a long time, actually when it was still on BBC. It has never interested me in the hosts. I guess its just my opinion really. I like when they are driving the car and talking about the vehicle the best.

Sense, i make none

I started watching in 2002 then got into the stuff from the 80s and 90s. Clarkson came on in the early 90s I think and was always far more charismatic than his cohosts who were basically knockoffs of John Davis.
