why?

I just came across an American version of Top Gear. Why does this exist? Just like everyone else, we have the British version of Top Gear. Isn't that all we need? Why do American television executives seem to believe that Americans won't watch TV where people speak with British accents?

Really? I can't imagine I woukd like or watch an American version - why mess with perfection! I love the British Top Gear. The closest thing to American I want to see on Top Gear is for them to have Click & Clack as guests someday.

Ooh, Click & Clack would be awesome! Or what about a visit from the Mythbusters? Two great things that would go great together!

I love British Top Gear too. I agree that it's perfection as it is, so why try to re-invent it? It's not like we can't fully enjoy it as it is without dubbing or subtitles.
