TOP GEAR Singapore Edition

Kuali Baba SG

It's out at the news stands now for $7.50. It still has many of the articles from the GB edition, including Clarkson's and Captain Slow's columns, but not the classifieds.

Anyway if it goes the way of CAR Singapore we can always put it up on eBay a few years later. Laughing

Lol.. I tot you were thinking about a SG version of the show.. which would actually be a good idea.. Lol...

But no place for a test track, and don't think anyone would be willing to let their precious cars in SG be thrashed on a track... esp since cars are exp in sg.. insurance cover and all that... lol...

Who's the publisher for it anyway? Smile

Kuali Baba SG

MEASAT, the same people who publish the Malaysian edition.

I doubt that we can get TV hosts to match the TG trio. The journalists and writers just don't cut it if you compare their writing styles to Clarkson's, May's and Hammond's.

specialOps SG

Haha…you must find some F1 driver to play Stig first…

n0x SG

is the magazine of the same writing style as torque or other sg car magazines...

cos if tt's the case... then no point buying... all the reviews in singapore magazines ranges from neutral to good comments about the car... i nv seen a review tt calls a spade a spade... somehow.. a bad car is alrights la.... mai hiam buay pai attitude...

which makes for a boring read... *yawn*...

Kuali Baba SG

Actually, they do pan the car - only when its replacement appears. Laughing

Let me read the few articles by a certain Joe Yeo first.

LH83 SG

Hrm.. where'd you see it? I wanna see the articles too...

I also agree some writers just stay neutral about the car.. but I guess in SG society, things run differently... Everyone will want to complain about something, esp when you say bad things about their products...

It's different in the UK, where the BBC actually backs the TG trio... they're just there to provide an honest and usually humourous review of the cars.. and shouldn't be taken too seriously sometimes...

Imagine, if Top Gear aired in SG, and it was the episode where JC made a comment about a muslim... that's it man... Complaints would be coming in the whole week...

Kuali Baba SG

I bought my copy at 7-11 (Citylink), and saw it at MPH and one of the money changers too. IT should be available widely.

n0x SG

tt's one of the major differences btw BBC and mediacock.... Laughing

MARK1992 SG

I CAN BE THE STIG!

LH83 SG

Like I keep saying... Get a license first... Mr. Green

LH83 SG

And that's also why we aren't able to produce quality entertainment... hai~...

KhidMasAE86 SG

hahaha bro...more like THE STICK

LH83 SG

Laughing No lah... SG version... THE SIAO EH... Mr. Green

n0x SG

more appropriate is THE SIAO LIAN EH Laughing

the prob with car reviewers in SG is that they have to be diplomatic as its a kind of a “gesture of good will” for thanking the dealership for loaning them their cars…but in GB…things are different….several car dealers have rejected top gears requests for borrowing their car…take rover for example….but In SG we cant afford to do that…which is sad as we can never really have a “fair” review of cars

Pitot SG

They are going to film the aussie version of it.. its confirmed.

sand king SG
