What are the top TV shows for cars in America and Canada?

Seether13 · 10-16-2010, 02:01 PM

I am looking for suggestions on shows that I can watch.

Currently I am watching:

Top Gear
Fifth Gear
Best Motoring

Any recommendations on tv shows or online video for shows similar to the above? (Youtube doesn't count

)

Motoring TV : The show about cars, and the people who drive them!

This is the best car show on tv, IMO. It's been on in Canada for decades and you can watch episodes as far back as 1988 on line. The concept has always been the same. First segment is general automotive topics, then a test drive of a current model, then a tech segment and finally Kenzie's Korner where a pet peeve or general rant is delivered by auto journalist Jim Kenzie.

Others long running shows that I've followed for years include Motorweek on PBS and those that you listed.

I love watching Pass Time, personally.

Motor week is pretty good, if a little dry at times.

Top gear is an entertaining show and I enjoy it. But you don't learn much about about cars.
