Default import auto tour; a joke?

What do you think about speedvision's import auto tour?

It seems as if they are showing the most stupid riced out peices of s***!

What is up with the anouncers, they are about the biggest idiots who don't have a clue.

If you like the rice that they show that is you choice, but why not show some that are more "JDM" like or more clean looking.

Um speedvision isnt a car show its a straight up racing. Those cars are the way they are (stickers for example) because theyre sponsored by the people listed in their cars. Thats not rice. And people please dont start another "What is rice debate" because its getting really old.

no, he means the Mother's import auto tour which is on speedvision and yes, it is very gay. Altezza and bling bling chome apc garbage is all that's on there. And the hosts should be shot. It's unfortunate that it's the only part of the import scene that a lot of people see.

Brian Fox wont be back next year. Someone on the Hybrid board emailed the company that does the show and they replied "...and Mr. Fox will not be returning next season."

Brian
-not Fox

He's not talking about the Touring, GT, Rally, or anything RACE related, he was only referring to the import auto tour.

I have yet to see one car on that show who's owner put more into the performance of the car than the dress-ups. Brian Fox is the biggest jackass stunna of them all. The guy plugs F&F into almost every other sentence.

Hey, I was on that show! LOL! In 2000, they interviewed me at the Nopi Nats. It was not my car that was featured, but a friends car. They were not around, so I got the interview.

And their was 1 car that was more performance than looks. It was built by another person that I know, and also filmed in 2000. It was a 1989 Civic HB. It had a LS block that was punched out, a CRV head, JE high compression pistons, nitrous oxide, and ran on nitro methane.

However, you guys are right, most of the **** on their is just that. ****.

I actually like show cars. I do not watch the show often, but from what I have seen, I do not care for the style.

I appreciate the show cars, but the way they cover them on speedvision just seems stupid. Wish it was more technically oriented with focus on body work paint and chasis work as some of the show cars put a huge amount of resources into them, not just the parts that bolt on, like the new civic they featured with all the apc stuff.
Alkso wish they had better drag race coverage, that would be great and give some crediabliity to the tour. What wouls be better is if the show was more like a best motoring or options video....

Sorry to break the news to some of you but SpeedVision as we currently know it will end in a few short weeks for the new rebirth of Speed Channel on Feb 4th. As part of the Fox NASCAR network I would assume many shows will be dropped for increased coverage of NASCAR events. They still will cover other races, Le Mans, ALMS, CART, WRX and Grand AM to name a few but NASCAR will be the main deal. Hopefully they will still have F1 races but for those fans of the Rolex 24 I don't think they will be covering it wire to wire as they have in the past.

If motorsports mundial and DTM coverage gets lost in the transition I'm gonna be mad!!!!

Yeah that dude has no idea what he is talking about at all. He goes to name a car and walks up to it an calls a prelude an accord all kinds of stupid ****. That guy needs to quit for his own sake. Everyone who doesn't know about the import scene would see that and think god imports are retarted. I really hate to see speedvision go down. There is nothing i hate more then nascar, that **** gets on my nerves. Road racing it where it's at for me. Oval track it just dorky, why would anyone want to ride around in a circle for 500 laps mean wtf. Sorry, i really hate nascar it takes over the air time of everything i want to see. Every freaking sports channel covers nascar while hardly any cover touring car ect.... like speedvision does on occation. Oh well nothing much we can do about it. LATer..
