I had no idea they were making an americanized (ugh) version of Top Gear.
I saw the 1st 3 episodes of it on the history channel last night.
Seems like they went to great lengths to keep the show exactly like the eruo version. They have the Stig , celebs driving a crappy car around a track, and most of the other silly nonsense that goes on.
My only complaint so far is the hosts. The 3 guys dont seem to have any real chemistry together. All their banter and barbs at eachother seem scripted. Maybe theyll get better as it goes along.
Also, in the 3 episodes I saw, they LOVED every car they tried.
I hope theyre not too chicken-shit to just totally trash a car if it deserves it. Brutal honesty is one of the key elements to the original show and leaving that out will ruin the show.
Anyone else seen it? Thoughts?
