Leno would be ok, but nothing like the dry witty ok version. Seinfeld would suck. Get some average Joe motorhead off the street that would be quirky yet fun for it. Screw the celebrity picks. ---

leno would be good. he likes burnouts as much as clarkson and he’s obviously a car nut. 🙂 the hosts better be as big of ball busters as jeremy, james and richard or the show will suck. it cant be politically correct either or it will be total rubbish! Brian ---

Tim Allen is more into luxury with some classic. You need some good ballbusters. Titus and Leno both had mini-host gigs with RIDES and another show I can’t recall the name of. ---

I have driven a few Porsches, and if I had the means, I’d own many examples. he couldnt be the clarkson replacement (stupid beetles ;)) and he is too tall to replace richard lol. if you have tim allen, you have to have Richard Karn to be the James May replacement. 🙂 Brian ---

they all suck… the show is about the cars, not the host… and the credit for top gear’s success is due largely to the producers, directors, and especially the writers. hammond is pretty much a fag when not on that show… james may? who cares… and jeremy clarkson is awesome but mostly because of fit, not talent. ---

def leno, after reading through his site and watching all the videos, he seems to know his shit. hes got a wide variety of cars, bikes and everything in between. i saw a clip today of his rocket bike, he actually melted the bumper of some guys bmw cuz he got too close behind him. he said he just took off like nothing ever happened. lol ---

leno is extremely intelligent as far as anything with a motor. I think he would be great for it, but not seinfeld or letterman or whoever else are being considered. ---
