Yeah, I'm with you Vinnie. Top Gear UK has three distinct personalities (and four if you count The Stig). This show has...um...none.

I agree. These guys have no personality,and they seem to be very monotone. The cars alone cannot save this show.They may run a few shows,but I'm willing to bet the viewing audience gets smaller every commercial break. I'm going back to the Walking Dead series next week.

There is only one Top Gear, and that's out of the UK with Jeremy, Richard, and James.  I doubt I'll watch a minute of the US one.

Show made me chuckle a few times, seems long and drawn out at times. Hopefully it gets better.

I wasnt expecting anything near the BBC version, but i dont think it will always suck

I like the UK version better. It seems like they tried to explain the show to people who have not seen the UK version.

I've seen all of the BBC Top Gear, and it took a while for them to get where they're at now. You just gotta give the US one some time. I did notice they didn't do any automotive news, I hope that doesn't last. Overall I thought it was worth watching.
