I think this is really sad i thought the aussie guys did a good job last season and this one.
Top Gear Australia axed from Channel 9

Nooooooooo, it was slowly getting good.

People need to realise that its impossible to compete when Australia doesn't have access to the cars England do, and they were working with a fraction of the budget England do.

And if you look back at where UK topgear was after 3 seasons I think the Aussie did a pretty good job.
Especially with all the narrow minded people who rubbish it right from the start.
Only thing I hated about the show was Ewan Page.
But top gear uk went through a few hosts before they got the formula right.

its sad that they don't get much of a go, but ratings rule and ch9 can't afford to have a poor rating show in a timeslot like that.

I watched every episode in an effort to support local content i suppose, but i did at times wince at how scripted and unnatural the presenters were with each other. It's a shame they called it top gear because straight away ppl draw comparisons with the original which has so much chemistry between the presenters (and a bigger budget), so really oz top gear was doomed from the start.

Its true the show was improving slightly as time went on but you still can't polish a turd.

Haha I just burst out laughing at work. Had to explain what I was laughing at.

Then everyone else laughed.

Good times were had.

Would have worked better without commercials every 5 minutes!. It took them an hour and a half to show 45 minutes of TV!

I they they tried a little to hard to form the chemistry TGUK had. But the production was pretty good. Very harsh to compare it to TGUK.

As mentioned, TGUK production was pretty average 3 or 5 seasons ago.

It is a shame, car nut country and no tv show to proclaim our love for them.

Chemistry and content. Felt more scripted than UK, and then the episode where they compared Ford and Holden without giving a winner was all over for me!
They did have an up hill battle, but they knew it by taking the Top Gear name.
