No, they are not the same.. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear and Tiff Needell from Fifth Gear used to work together hosting Top Gear then i don't know what happen then Tiff separated and created Fifth Gear. Fifth Gear is already airing their 13th season this year which they are going to feature the IS-F.

Many never thought we'd see the day of a Lexus rounding the track with tires squealing and the gears ticking up and down with lots of smoke and a snarly exhaust.

Seems like another very positive review, if a bit short!

was that youtube the only parts of the IS-F or was there more? i thought the beep beep was funny haha. Also the spinning out, it looked like the driver was having a great time tearing up all that rubber!

ive been watching top gear for 3 years online, and i have to say its my fave just because of the crazy antics and races they do. oh and the challenges, those are the best

however, i like 5th gear because they do lexus!
