O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #15 – November 22, 2010, 12:50:06 PM I didn't think the new show was that bad. I used to watch the UK version but those guys always ragged on American cars and it got old. I never could figure out why they had such a chip on their shoulders, what cool cars do the British make? Aston Martin is about all I can think of.The guys on the US show do have three distinct personalities: 1.) The guy who was driving the Viper is the super pen 15y frat-boy type 2.) heavy set bearded guy is kinda funny, and then there is 3.) Jersey s style loud-mouth italian guy who can't drive. lol.

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #16 – November 22, 2010, 05:19:27 PM Quote from: 5.0 bird;342693I'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.I'm going to give it a couple of episodes and see how it is. Hopefully it gets better. Quote from: 50tbrd88;342706I didn't think the new show was that bad.

Aston Martin is about all I can think of.They live in Europe so they pander to a European audience that thinks European cars are the best out there just as we in North American think North American cars are the best out there ;) Quote Selected

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #22 – November 22, 2010, 10:08:55 PM I didn't think it was that bad, but I think it will not live up to the hype. The biggest problem I saw, is they were really rushing it. There didn't seem to be much music, and the camera work sucked. The UK one has really good camera work. Almost like they take time to setup shots. Quote Selected

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #24 – November 22, 2010, 10:53:48 PM They haven't shown that episode yet. They supposedly beat the living bejeezus out of it the same way they did the old Cadillac in the commercial. It's supposed to be a "moonshine" run. Quote Selected
O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #25 – November 23, 2010, 07:02:00 AM I never even heard of it. I watch the Stig religiously though. They bash on US cars, and justly so, but have you seen the one where they take the Caddy STS, Vette, and Charger to Bonneville. They fell in love with those 3. Oh, and if you never seen it, check out James May and kenny Block on You Tube. Quote Selected

Kind of figured that seeing in the commercial he gets out of it with a helmet on. Oh well, I guess.. Quote Selected

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #29 – November 29, 2010, 04:36:13 PM I watched it, I didn't think it was terrible, but it does need some work. The viper and helicopter thing was funny, for about 2 minutes. Quote Selected
