There is no show like Top Gear and nothing will ever replace it unless the trio make another show.

WolfsFang hit the nail on the head. This is exactly why I watch Top Gear. It is very rare I watch a "real" car show without skipping huge parts of it. I've never hit fast forward on an episode of Top Gear, but I also don't go to them for a car review if I was making a purchase decision either.
Watch some of the first few seasons episodes where they tried to do real car reviews and you'll see why they got away from that. For example, Cpt. Slow used to do a "best deals" section for used cars. Interesting, but obviously very dated quickly. The bottom line is a "real" car show episode has no long term viability. By the end of that season, all the information is outdated and not worthy of syndication.
