Top Gear US version premiere last night: opinions?

The only thing close to a critisizm in the whole show was that the lambo seat was made for someone 5'5". They need to offer some real opinions/critics of the cars they're reviewing. It seems they don't want to piss off potential sponsors.

only thing i can say i am happy about is that the Z episode is next week and not at the end of the season. In my opinion the original Top Gear the guys seem more like friends which make the conversation smoother and more comedic the way they joke around but for Top Gear America the conversation just seemed to forced and their personalities didnt click like the other guys. Not to mention i think the whole getting chased by the military through a city has already been done. I will still watch the rest of the season but itwill never top the original Top Gear in my opinion unfortunately.

lambo's head room is minimal .... I'm 6 3 in the proper driving position my head would hit the roof .
