I can say that I enjoy the American Top Gear. I find it entertaining and fun. Do I enjoy it as much as the original? No. But it’s way better than any other American car show. ---

I saw them all. I’m well aware of the episode, their suspension test track had cobble stone instead of grooves. I just don’t get how you are getting mad at the show with the same name and same format and same testing principles for ripping off an idea. Poorer execution? Maybe - questiontable, sure. ---

WTF is wrong with people… Everyone wishes they were more like the UK version, but get pissed when they “take” things from it. Compare season 1 of UK Top Gear to the US version, I’m pretty sure most on here would prefer the US at that point. ---

It’s a worthy substitute so far. At this rate the Uk version will have a 4 episode season this time, and I’ll need something to watch in the mean time that’s not attrocious. ---

Compare season 1 of UK Top Gear to the US version, I’m pretty sure most on here would prefer the US at that point. Being more like the UK top gear would be nice, more of a “casual” personality… Able to get away with a little more raunchy humor and less censorship… and feeling less clammed up and talking to the world like their 2 year olds… MORE POWER I don’t want it to be exactly like the UK top gear, it just wouldent feel right, but i would like them to branch off and become their own personalities, and would it kill for a little originality? It’s the fact that they ripped that whole episode off of the oringal, if i watched them back to back they might have differences, but seriously as soon as I started watching the challenge it felt like they just killed it by copying it. Honestly vlad, i really thought you would have agreed with me, and given your alwayys working i figured you wouldent have seen it yet… IDK, i just think they took a step backward with this episode vs the 4 previous ones ---

They are an entirely different crew, with different personalities, that should be original enough, ironically that’s what they are getting picked on the most, is for not being the same. It seems you can’t please everyone. I just don’t get the mind set. They are not replicating it, and they are not being too far off the original entertaiment. Structure was the same, but you put 3 entirely new people with 3 completely different cars to get a completely uncomparative testing to the original. The only part that’s the same is the format, which has to be the same since it’s the same show. If they didn’t do testing like that they would be flamed for not doing used car testing… ---
