While I agree, I also think Top Gear, like any TV show has a finite lifespan.
Think back to your favourite tv shows, after seven years or so, they all start to suck. Top Gear does alright because car companies keep making new and exciting cars, but sooner or later people will get bored so they're doing all they can to milk the cash cow right now. So that means we've got merchandise, and stage shows, and franchise magazines and tv shows in other countries. Unfortunately that is the way of it.
If Clarkson and Hammond ever leave Top Gear it'll have trouble surviving. Of course the script writers will remain the same but Clarkson and Hammond do ad lib very well when they have to, and that's the secret of the shows success in my opinion.
