Leno should quit and do Top Gear America but that show will never get off the ground and even Jay doesn't believe in it with the way that American advertising works (BBC is publically funded). Jay's passion is cars anyway and he's appeared on Top Gear and his Electric Car race segment is based on Top Gear's celebrity around the track in a reasonably priced car segment.

Jay said he doesn't want to to a Top Gear America at all. Like you mentioned, in the States all the commercials are paid for etc. so they wouldn't be able to talk about the car in the way they felt, or they would have to talk about the advertised car, etc.
The first time I saw his lap thing was with the guy from Avatar, and the first thing to come to mind was "he got this from Top Gear, there is no doubt".
He really should do a car show, even if it is just him reviewing cars or talking about them, forget the challenges like Top Gear, because I'd still watch it.
