Love the fact that the Evo got top love on Top Gear being feature in the 2nd episode! Glad the US version finally got off the ground...remember that even the holy grail UK version sucked its first few seasons

I actually watched the first episode just the other day to refresh my recollection. The US show isn't even in the same universe.

You know you don't have to watch the US version if you don't like it

Is that like, "America - love it or leave it?"

Is this true?

If so, fail.

The hosts pretended to drink a water-like substance out of mason jars calling it moonshine. Knowing the legalities and the nature of American television, it was just a prop. They did run a bunch of beaters over an off-road course, amounting to the only genuine LOL moment, as a Caddy landed after being airborne. Generally, it was the best show yet. I'm only saying that, because it didn't take me +3 tries to finish watching the entire program.

I thought the 3rd episode was just awful. All the cool stuff they did in the 2nd episode was undone with the pure suck fest that summed up #3. The bootleg theme was cool but maybe as a short skit or at most for half the episode. Driving around three beaters for an hour is not what I have in mind when I think of Top Gear. It was nice to see the camaraderie between the hosts develop further but other than that the episode was a total loss for me.

driving around 3 beaters for the entire episode is probably THE most common thing done on the UK Top Gear lol I don't like American Top Gear much at all, but I'm not going to make **** up just to hate.

Anyway, this was definitely the best show so far. Still got a ways to go, but it's getting better...still hate mole man though.

haha i dont think its bad casting they just have no chemistry, its like forced..
it will get better as they do more episodes.

The producing is right on point with BBC top gear ..like the skits and stuff.

BBC top gear has been on for many seasons so thats why its great they have such good chemistry with each other .
