Jeremy Clarkson and former Top Gear buddies could name potential Netflix show House of CARS

Jeremy Clarkson and his former Top Gear sidekicks have come up with a “genius” name for their show if they sign to Netflix.
The sacked presenter, James May, Richard Hammond and former executive producer Andy Wilman are negotiating with the online service to create a new version of the motoring series.
And one pal revealed today: “If it goes ahead, they’re planning to call it House of Cars, which is just genius.”
The title is a nod to Netflix’s hugely popular political drama House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey as US congressman Frank Underwood.
And a tug of war for Clarkson, 55, and his team has broken out between the streaming service and ITV, which also held talks with them last week.
But a source said: “The headache with ITV is going to be the potential conflicts of interest with advertisers. What would they do if Jaguar or Volvo had a sponsorship deal but they wanted to berate its latest new car? Jeremy doesn’t like being told what to do. It could cause huge arguments.”
But whoever signs the stars will be hoping they draw huge audiences.

It's not gonna happen, because there's already [url=http://www.discoverymax.marca.com/series/motor/house-of-cars/]a car show[/url] with that name.

How about The Greatest Car Show In The World?
If Clarkson doesn't spike the camera and vent his thoughts every time James May goes off on a tangent then it's not good enough.

Typically Overproduced Presentations, Genuinely Enthusiastic Automobile Reviews.
T.O.P. G.E.A.R., for short. It'd be asking for a lawsuit, but it'd be funny to see them suggest it just to see their former bosses choke.
Provided they can all get together, I'm just hoping the show comes to light at all.
Next Car Show
Netflix needs to sign them on right now.
It will be interesting if this goes ahead to see how similar the format is to Top Gear - surely it can't be exactly the same as the BBC will sue.

BBC Top Gear will be dead though
The BBC are planning on finding new presenters afaik, and even if they did discontinue the show, they would presumably still own the format.
Gop Tear
highest gear
Overdrive
"Not another show about cars"
3 men and some cars
The Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond Automobile Review and Entertainment Show Starring Guest Stars

two-and-a-half would work better but that's kinda taken
The Richard Hammond Show (feat. Jeremy Clarkson and Captain Slow)
[QUOTE=usaokay;47721378]This is going to be a weird fucking spin-off to House of Cards.[/QUOTE]
First star in a reasonably priced car is Kevin spacey in character
The M.P.H(Moronic Petrol Head) Show
3 Men and a Carborator
Another Gear
Sloping Bridges
I also really hope they do more roadtrips with this new series. They were easily the best part of Top Gear.
'2nd Gear'
1 - It's like a sequel
2 - 2nd Gear is underrated as a gear
"Faster Than Cars"
Or "Top Banter" rather than "Top Gear"
Greatest Lever.
That would be rather interesting... I can't help but imagine Kevin Spacy presenting it as well though in his more villainous persona.... That would be so awesome.
