Topgear Philippines, the decline

**wavecxs** · July 8th, 2017 01:37 PM

I used to like this magazine, but lately almost all articles are less focused on cars but on politics and other distractions.

Car reviews are like promotional piece from car manufacturers, hardly any sensible insights/opinions. The youtube videos are all trash, pathetic efforts to be funny, no substance.

It used to be good, what happened?

I think that was due to change of EIC due to the road rage incident where they wrongly accused the driver of similar colored car, make and model albeit different plate digit to be the gun man. Von Tanto was the suspext if im not mistaken.

Catastrophic consequences happened to tgp after that.

I love niky's expertise. but the rest are just subpar.

Just look at tgp's fb. puro repost ng old articles without saying na #tbt.

jamesD is the captain now. excellent shows and his fb has good content.

And bro Niky is a Tsikoteer!

Tumamlay na nga FB page ni TGP, naging safe na ba?

Si James Deakin na nga ang pumalit FB wise.

To add he interacts with people online, you can send a PM and he replies too.

Even sa CNN i like Drive and Service Road.

I agree with wavecxs. Lumalabas mga topgear phil sa youtube. Puro mga walang kwentang videos. Parang nagpapapansin lang. Puro kuha sa topgear uk ang mga article sa site. Nakakatamad na

Isa lang binabasa ko sa Topgear magazine, yung blog ni Paulo Subido.

Pero ang tagal niya mag update!

actually kahit wala pa yung Tanto incident. Parang naging palengke ang TGP FB nila dahil sa mga dashcam vids ng mga violators. Well doon sila sumikat, and ironically yun din nagpabagsak sa kanila (shooting incident, tanto)
