And that, good sir, is a very valid point.
Here's the thing though... and why I believe TGAU isn't being recived quite as well as it could be.
TGUK is the most popular auto show on the planet. It evolved from much humbler beginnings to become what it is now... the entity known as TGUK. Its not posssible to copy it and be just as succesful, for in order to copy it you would need the three presenters, the studio, the stig, everything... there is only one, and will only ever be one TGUK.
So know we have TGAU... the same show, but, different?
Right.
Here's an analagous hypothetical.
Say you went to a Domino's pizza franchise. They had the same logo, the same boxes, the same uniforms, the same decor in the store... but they had a different menu.
Would it still be Dominos?
It looks the same, seems the same, you're still getting a pizza, but its just not quite right... its still tasty, but not quite as tasty as it could be... and definately nothing like the pizza you're used to. Kinda second rate... like they are using bland flavourless ingredients.
You'll keep eating it, because any pizza is good pizza. But you'll still have the taste of the REAL Dominos in mind every time you order.
