I just thought of something. I’m personally willing to bet, there will come a day when many American viewers who are not car “guys” will become fans of the show and will watch it, along the likes of “Pawn stars” as just another show, but then, one day, they might discover UK TopGear with Clarkson and the crew. They will watch it, and they will find their accents strangely unusual to the show format and without knowing the characters might even comment on their poor interaction with each other /ineedcable /sittingandwaitingforHistorychanneltouploadthenewepisodeonlinesoicanwatchit ---

Found a good quote from Jalopnik went a ride with them for episode 2 and gave some insights to details > The one thing you absolutely must know is they really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, don’t want you to hate them. > **[Riding Shotgun Through A Sandstorm With Top Gear](https://jalopnik.com/riding-shotgun-through-a-sandstorm-with-top-gear-5699368)** > > I’m crouched in the footwell of an Aston Martin V12 Vantage hammering across a dry lakebed at 140 mph, wondering why I’m not a Top Gear presenter, which, I can now confirm, is the greatest job... in the world. > If there’s one overwhelming concept to understand about the U.S. version of _Top Gear_ it’s not that Jeremy Clarkson and wünderproducer Andy Wilman review the footage, or that a Brit with a biting sense of humor helms the production. It has nothing to do with a crew experienced working on episodes of the original _Top Gear_ or, after exhaustive questioning, that it turns out the occasionally pink tuxedoed Rutledge Wood is a car guy of amusingly diverse tastes. > Like the popular high school cheerleader who transfers to a new school senior year, they are almost pathological in their determination to prove they belong at the cool kids table. A curious pursuit when you consider, in this metaphor, the table is filled with lame pretenders (buff book shows) and one polite, but increasingly senile music teacher (_MotorWeek_). > Whether this translates into a good show, worthy of the mantle of _Top Gear_, is for you to judge. I spent one day in the desert with the crew, one of the hosts, and two Aston Martins. It _felt_ like an episode of _Top Gear_, it _looked_ like an episode of _Top Gear_, but was it? It’s the _only_ thing I can’t tell you. Below is an exhaustive list of things I _can_ tell you. ---

Would be interesting to see what they deem cool/uncool. Im not sure if I would like to see an exact replica of top gear, but a split from the challenges or w.e they are doing would be nice. fiero crashing made me :rofl [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-gear-tonight/255678.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-gear-tonight/255678.md?page=6)
