I've been thinking about asking Patrick, The ADMIN here, if he would include a subsection under Off-Topic for News and Media information.
I recently started a discussion/memory thread about the British show Top Gear which seems to be doing very well.
I was also thinking that Mazda/Automotive updates might be posted by thread in that section as well as other automotive related television shows and general automotive news.

I have set up the poll to accept multiple answers but also feel free to discuss your own ideas and offer suggestions.

you pretty much nailed about all the shows i watch all day....why must you make me choose anyway i can see that multiple sections might have to be setup for this, like for shows such as pinks, truck U, Top Gear etc, then a section on car mags, and a third section on automotive news like what companies are doing, there status and whatnot

Even though I worked for a Jeep dealer I never really got into the 4X4 thing, but I think Ian is great and he makes what they are doing interesting. Even if I never plan to do these things myself I love watching how it's done, and what the process and thinking behind it all is.
He also seems more real than many of the other host of these shows. I enjoy Gears too, but Stacy's nervous little laugh gets annoying to me. Ian is a natural and obviously enjoys what he's doing. That comes across, imo.
My only question is, what happened to cute little Jesse??

Not sure where Jesse went.

I prefer the off-road scene. Anyone can go fast on a smooth road, put some 2 ft whoops in there and see what 80-100 mph feels like. And you can do this legally.
