Awesome news courtesy of the folks at Finalgear.com, but Top Gear America has been officially picked up for a second season, the filming of which will begin in the spring. The hosts will remain unchanged, a decision both Finalgear and I agree with - though initially there was questionable chemistry between the hosts of the show, by the end of the first season I felt they worked very well together and would have been disappointed to see any of them go.

Jeremy Clarkson of the original Top Gear UK was pleased with the decision as well:

"Top Gear is our baby so you can understand why Hammond, May and I were anxious about passing it on to the presenters of the US show. We needn’t have worried because Top Gear is clearly in safe hands, even if they do insist on speaking in those stupid accents. Watching an episode from series 1 with Richard and James, we found ourselves in a genuinely heated debate about which of the presenters’ cars was best. We were just three ordinary chaps watching a car show and loving it, which is exactly what Top Gear should be. Bring on series 2."

I very much agree, Mr. Clarkson. Bring it on!
