Top Gear America

I like it too. I think the more they do it, the more comfortable the hosts will get and it will eventually get better. It might never be as good as the UK version, but it's still a good show on its own.

I tried watching this once and it was pretty painful.

As bad as some people think this is, think about the other car shows on TV. This is one of the better car shows in the US if you think about it. I'm guessing the Top Gear US budget is nowhere near the UK's version also. This isn't nearly as cheesy as "The PowerBlock" or "Supercars Exposed", but it could be better.

I like the show battle of the supercars. I've only seen like 2 episodes, but it's good from what I saw. Tanner was one of the drivers on there. I don't care how much people say the show sucks, watching a blind guy drift a 370Z was pretty awesome.

I never understood why pretty much every car show sucks. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a decent show...

Car shows can get boring quick if they're just about numbers and specs. That's what makes Top Gear so good. They have those, but they have other things to make the show more entertaining as well.

I always thought that cutting to shots of tire smoke and mostly naked women would fill in the rest of the show.

You need to send this idea to the people that make boring car shows. They haven't understood that yet.

I'm pretty sure that was staged, almost the entire show is after all

Because the sponsors dictate the show in most cases

It's scripted, but why would they fake a blind guy. It Would be just as entertaining if he ran over the other two host.

they just had the blind guy on to again copy the UK boys when they had a Blind Man beat Terry Wogan around the top gear test track....

but it was pretty cool that they featured the Z.

They definitely copy the UK show's features (not as well) too much, they need to be more original.

And they should have picked some hosts with more car experience (Tanner is fine) and TV experience - sometimes they are painful to watch talk.
