Part of the other problem with it now is that it is shown in so many different countries and is popular around the world and now they have to make it appeal for lots of different countries to watch. I also liked when the star in a reasonably priced car had people like comedians on instead of major A-List celebs who are promoting the latest film their in.That race was great - although some of it would have been scripted, the boats getting punctures and Hammond getting sea sick made that episode.
There were other challenges which were just as good too.

One of the main reasons I still watch it, is because Jeremy Clarkson always manages to say something that makes me choke to death on my own oxygen!
I loved that episode where they raced Tornado to the north. That was brilliant, and also that one where they were in India(?) and James missed the train lol and they wouldn't pay a £13 fine for pulling the emergency break.
I agree with all comments made above, that the fact more countries are watching it and it must be more suitable for everyone's tastes.
But, despite all its flaws now, I still enjoy watching Top Gear.
If you look back to the episodes when you first started watching (was the Hilux episode before or after?), how do they compare?
