Default Slightly OT: Best Show on Speedvision

It's called Motorvision. It's a German auto review show, and yes it's dubbed into English. The scenery is great, the cars are more interesting, and they really wring them out. Yesterday they did a Corvette vs. BMW Z8 comparo in the Alps, and in a generous show of non-chauvinism they chose the Vette! They were also surprisingly pleased with the new grosser Lexus. And then they drove a Renault Clio very quickly over the Selvio Pass between Italy and Switzerland.

On the West Coast it airs at 4 PM Sundays. I think in other time zones it may air at 3 PM. Worth looking for.

I agree, along with F1 and the occasional 1/2 hr Audi reviews, Motorvision is at the top.

Default You've been calling and complaining, right?

And having all your friends do the same? To some extent, that really is how they decide what to put on cable. Of course, occasionally there are minor money considerations

Default That's been rumored for a while, I hope they are smarter than that

Even now, they have a hard time filling airtime (all those powerboat shows!)
