Not doing anything for me. Feels like they're trying too hard to re-create UK exactly. I felt like I was watching TG UK but with bad American voice overs.

^I think the producers figure that most of the audience hasnt seen the UK version? Why else would you make a show about stuff thats already been done....and everything is so rehearsed, they need presenters who can banter back and forth

hahahaha ironic that Tanner says if you wanted to run booze you'd have run a 300ZX, and Nascar will be full of Nissans going round and round.
......and now we have Toyotas running round and round....

Yes, the chemistry isn't there yet but give it some time. TG UK's chemistry wasn't exactly that good during the first season either.

As for the music... well, if you're going to complain about something like that, you clearly have no idea how much it costs in royalty fees to play even a ten second clip of a known song. The History channel can't compete with the BBC in terms of how much money they have to throw around.
That said, apart from the jittery in-car feed, the camera work was on-par with TG UK, and there were definitely hints in this episode about what it's potential can definitely be.
Like all pilot episodes, it's going to be among the worst. I can foresee it getting much better. | i agree and disagree. no top gear uk hosts did not have chemistry on their pilot, but the content and entertainment factor was through the roof with the first episode. and thats without another shows template to copy like top gear usa has. (dont count the original top gear because its completely different)
top gear uk had a friggin zonda and murc on their first ep. and they already knew 'a star in a reasonably priced car' was going to be a hit... and it still is 15 seasons later.
if top gear usa was the original top gear, the show would be decent. but since theres top gear uk to watch instead, why bother watching top gear usa? IMO

It's a road for CARS, however a parking lot will have people crossing all over the place ALL THE TIME | |

I just love the episode for that jump with the cadillac... Sheer awesome. The production values seem to be climbing a little more each time so that's good, but still too much dead air in between what each host says. And the transitions could use some work. Posted via RS Mobile | |

The 2nd episode was pretty good, onto the 3rd one.
However, I really wish Adam Carolla was part of this and not this Adam Ferrara guy, it would've made things infinitely more interesting having more than one actual car guy (I know Wood is a host on speed, but it's for NASCAR. C'mon...)

He hosts NASCAR and among his many car projects has an 83 CVCC hes rebuilding with a B18 swap.
I actually Met him at this last SEMA through a mutal friend, and he can shoot the shit about cars (import or domestic), trucks, whatever. Hes a car guy.
Wood seems way more entertaining on this show than Both the Adam guy or Tanner to me.

Totally missed that.
If they were going to get rid of anyone, i would actually get rid of tanner. I hate to say it becouse hes a great driver, but he boring as hell to listen to.
Keep him to drive the cars, but get someone with a personality to host.

I must say they're getting better. Have you guys watched the 1st season of top gear. They barly talked to each other and the fat guy kept talking about deals.... Sure it didn't work out but look at it now 15 seasons and we love it.
The challenge was great jumping caddy was awesome. Tanner just needs to loosen up a little, woods is hilarious tho some things he says is kinda off "brits are liars cause they put a 200mph speedo on a car that only goes 180~". The other guy, adam. Must say pretty week but I'm sure they'll get better. Once they work with each other for a bit I'm sure they'll be just as good as uk. Posted via RS Mobile | |

but i think top gear USA is getting better. they need to do something about their transition and their jokes and their crowd. it's just... lame.
and big star in small car... lame questions to the guests, awkward transition from the interview to the videos...
i hope it gets better.

They're simply picking a market that they know they can cater to. Remember, they're trying to get new viewers, not convert all of the existing TG:UK ones.

As for TG US, the GM Car challenge in ep 5 was pretty funny.
