Top Gear USA Trailer


Looks like it might actually be somewhat decent, though of course it will never beat the original.

EDIT: The Youtube video's audio is out of sync, so click on the following Jalopnik link to watch a better version

Does this mean someone got paid? I think it was posted here that someone was willing to spend $10,000 for this footage. The clip is horrible, no wonder it never went into production. Ive seen privateers on youtube make better car clips than this.

It's the new version of TGUS. I don't believe this is an official trailer; it looks more like a insider's mock up.

this is even worse than fifth gear...

@ fifth gear at least Tiff is pretty good this is just an awkward iteration of the original show

but I'll still watch it since car shows are a rare commodity these days...

I'm actually surprised you can even last a minute of Tiff talking on Fifth Gear.

You guys have to realize that Fifth Gear is an actual automotive review show, whereas Top Gear 2.0 is an entertainment show. They fall into the same category in the TV listings, yet they're going to cater to different demographics/viewers.
