SpeedTV did a video podcast featuring Adam Carolla -- along with SpeedTV's Kendall, and 50 Cent -- flogging a Pontiac G8 around a track. Carolla gets a check mark for being able to make jokes at speed and while in a spin. Whether he's actually funny, we'll let you decide. Since it wasn't done as a trial for the US Top Gear, and we have no idea what he was meant to be doing -- or allowed to say -- we shouldn't judge too harshly. But Clarkson doesn't have anything to worry about just yet...

I know it's been said time and time again, but top gear america is going to suck massive amounts of ass.
They will never be able to give honest reviews on shitty cars.
They should have just gotten a more regular re-running of real Top Gear with Jeremy, Hammond, and James.

I can just see the US version naming the F150 the super car of the world or some shit, then shifting over to a wendy's commercial for the new hammonator bacon deluxe with a quarter pound of ranch dressing per square inch.
I like adam, I know hes a car guy, but good god this is going to be awful.
