Top Gear co-host, Tanner Foust, gives some details about the up-coming show to Jonny Lieberman. He reiterates much of what Adam Carrola said; that they’ll be given free reign to say what they want (and later in the interview he self-censors himself when he puts down econoboxes). The format will be very much the same as the UK’s version, albeit shorter because of commercials. And, as for fellow co-host, Eric Stromer, Foust says that while he’s not a techincal "car guy," he will represent much of their audience; everyday people who aren’t complete gearheads but like cars.
While he did say that they’ll be free to express their opinions like the UK show, it’s pretty obvious that in the UK Top Gear the hosts aren’t given complete free reign for if they all agreed on one car during a mulitple car comparison, there’d be no conflct and subsequent conflict resolution avec insult trading. It’s likely, given that many of the writers and producers from the UK carry over, that Carolla, Foust and Stromer will each be asked to disagree for sake of good TV.
