It's on the History channel. Seems ok so far, but I much rather prefer the brits.

Ya it sucked.
Sorry I mean it currently sucks.
wait... there's an american version of top gear?
Premiered tonight and is running 10 episodes.Originally Posted by phillysrt4
I'm watching it now. I like the original better but this isn't terrible.

They sent my Census form back! AGAIN!!! In response to the question: "Do you have any dependents?" I replied - "12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads; 42 million unemployable people, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; Half of Mexico; and 535 more in the U.S. House and Senate. Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.
i do like it with Jeremy in it better but i thought it was pretty good. They had cool cars for the first episode and I thought it was pretty funny what they did with the viper and the cobra helicopter. Also Tanner Foust (one of the hosts and a professional driver) is an awesome driver im sure he'll be doing some crazy stuff throughout the season
It was Ok..but their attempts at being funny was a FAIL. The fat guy with a Beard is just annoying to watch and listen to. He seems better suited to review Need For Speed then cars. I bet the real topgear guys are over there laughing at this show

I agree that most of the wit and subtle humor that the show has come to be known for is lost in the American version. There is a reason why the show has come to America twice now and failed both times. This would be attempt number three.
But, Tanner Foust is one hell of a driver and they did some cool things with some cool cars so I can't completely discredit it.
It aired one episode people and wasn't really bad. Yes, it's not going to be exactly like the original. Christ, the original has been airing for forever now. Look past that the show has different hosts and humor, you start to see that it's actually not all bad.
If anything, we just have two versions to watch now.

Big Fail. Hosts who know nothing about the cars they are driving and aren't the least bit funny.

Hmm, I didn't realize this was on, I'll have to check it out next week. I'm sure it won't be as good as the original, but hey, it's a prime time car show, how you gonna complain about that? I'm sure it's better than most of the other garbage that's on tv.

If we had never seen the original version we might have a different opinion.
If the US version was given time and allowed to develop it's own personality it might turn into something. They are simply trying to be a copy of the original then force in scripted humor, and that will never work with these clowns. They do not have a Clarkson type personality to hold it together. Watching the BBC version you never think that it's scripted, they just have such good chemistry together.
yes i agree , but i am glad they are at least trying ,i watched it and will continue to do so

"$650 for a cupholder. I don't know what the Italian translation is for 'bullshit,' but I imagine it fits that pretty well."
I'm just glad its not 3 guys that go "WOW ITS AN AMAZING CAR" just cause its a lambo. I love that they dis it, for good reason. Its not completely 3 guys that are mesmerized by vertical doors and shiny and weavy things. But yeah, epic beard man should go.

The hosts suck at teh funnay. Tanner Foust is alright because he is a good driver and knows what hes talking about but the other two suck.
