We surmise that producers may have picked Stromer because he's a hunk of man meat, but also because he can bring in a big female audience from his time spent on HGTV
Hoboy. The nerds in the exec offices are already screwing it up.

Carolla (who will now be referred to as Jezza Jr.) sports a garage full of Lamborghinis, Maseratis, two Ferraris and an Audi S4. Foust makes do with a simple, tricked out BMW M3. Stromer... a Camry Hybrid.

I sense an air of FAIL

While I agree Stromer is an odd choice given he has no car background, both Stromer and Carolla have a great chemistry together which should help to keep the show flowing a little smoother. (Stromer being a regular guest on Adams radio show)

Carolla = Humor and car knowledge
Foust = Actual driving experience
Stromer = The average consumer


All things considered, it could be worse

i can give you two simple words that would make this show succeed:

Tommy moutha****in Kindall !!!!

ok, so it was more than two words but never the less that is what it takes.
I saw some lame show where they were plugging the new pontiac g8 on Speed and there was a segment where Adam Corolla and TK were out on the track driving a pair of g8's. it was a great dynamic. Adam was funny and TK was the brains of the operation.

i think the main thing that top gear is lacking are hosts that actually understand cars from TK's perspective.

I think it could work. Corolla is funny, I don't know the other 2 guys but the HGTV guy looks familiar.

You guys are so negative, just watch it, then decide.

How is that any different from Top Gear UK having Captain Slow as a main star?
