I'm not even 100% sure Leno is a good choice to be honest. He's a famous car enthusiast, but I don't know if he's abrasive enough. He's funny, but his humor is the dry humor that works so well for Top Gear.

I actually change my mind about who I think should host it.

Tim Allen, Adam Corolla, and Brock Yates. That combo could work, but only if they have a charisma that leads you to believe they are actually friends off stage, not just co-hosts on a show. Maybe get Rob Dyrdek in there too, haha.

when leno first "retired" he expressly said that he wouldn't do an automotive-based tv show because he didn't want to make a hobby he loved a job.

Shut your whore mouth, there is only ONE Stig, and he is everywhere, and hears all. Now apologize to the Stig and then go to confession. :D

I know.... I was just listing names who I think would work regardless of if they would actually do it or not. I don't think he would the more I think about it though.

It'll never work. Too many manufacturers would get butthurt whenever they're told their car is garbage.

I remember one episode where Hammond was waiting for the new Challenger (maybe Charger?) to arrive for review, and Dodge backed out at the last minute because they were afraid he'd be too critical of the car, and it would hurt sales. Hammond still went off and bought his own, and reviewed the car.

Try that shit in America, and you'll get sued with the quickness.
