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!
