    Hmmmm, I dunno. I guess I was expecting more irritating hosts who'd say "Dog" and "Bro" or, at the very least, cheesy and fake but these guys don't seem to be the worst. If anything I don't see the differences between them like there is with Clarkson, Hammond, and May. Still, not a patch on the original.

    I'll give the 1st show a chance before I make up my mind. In fairness, if the yanks pull it off in an entertaining way then you know their challenges and stunts would be huge..............if a bit redneck :pac:

    They're better than the Aussie version. I just hope they don't try and match the chemistry of May/Jeremy/Hammond.

    Doesn't look that bad tbh. I wonder will they have an audience like the UK version. If they do I reckon they could get heaps of celebrities.

    Ah you again...its pretty impressive. And clarkson has often said with astonishment that such and such car will do over 190mph which isn't that impressive in comparison to some other cars. Things have to be taken in context.

    I dont think its too bad. Its not going to be the same as the english one and at the end of the day its another car program to watch. how exactly is that a bad thing. If your expecting it to be as good in the same ways as the UK one then you're being unfair and expecting too much.

    Top Gear is nothing without Clarkson, that's why I never enjoy these foreign spin-offs.

    This looks ok, hosts dont look like tools anyway. More Top Gear can only be a good thing.
