Clarkson, Hammond & Cap'n Slow are kind of the stereotypical Brit's to me, so I guess it would make sense to have stereotypical American's for the US version.

I don't like that trio of slackarses. They just don't put off an air of knowledge or sophistication like the Brits do. And I think it's entirely possible for an American to come off sophisticated and intelligent. I just don't think they're trying.

If they were supposed to be stereotypical there would be a dirty redneck, a HUEG blob and a gunnut lunatic

In another video, the one guy dresses in sweatpants and a tee, so that shouts "dirty redneck".

The dude with glasses is pretty blobular.

And the jury's still out on the skinny guy as to whether he's card-carrying NRA. But you never know.

the funny thing is we know the boss of a big TV broadcasting group here in belgium and I made them think of making a belgian version of topgear.

They genuinely are interested in making a carshow based on topgear probably not going to be called top gear.

The guy told me that if they ever do it I will be the first to be offered a job as a presentator.

lets see I am tall and pretty fat

I can be a jeremy clone

Their presentation bores me.

They should have had at least one British guy/girl as a host. It needs that British "accent" tone when they do the car test cut scenes.

We shouldn't pass judgement on a show thats not even out yet, but so far, it needs work. We shall see.

I posted my feelings about the show here: Top Gear USA: Why I have no hope.

I think it sums everything up pretty well.

seemed like a decent segment but i still don't feel that magic that clarkson/hammond/may have on screen together. maybe it's just not really shown there, hopefully it will be a good series but i'm not holding my breath

I'm so easy I will watch anything automotive related so I'm looking forward to this.

It's definitely not the UK version, but it's at least something to watch.

This show has no chance of matching the original.

Think of this way. Top Gear UK runs WITHOUT commercials on BBC. They can give honest opinions on the cars without having to worry about some advertiser freaking out and pulling their ad money.

Top Gear USA is going to run on the History Channel win TONS of commercials. Do you think Ford will be happy if the US presenters rip the Mustang a new ***? How about Hyundai, Honda, Nissan, etc. Car manufacturers are going to want to run their ads on a show like this so don't expect accurate or even truthful reviews of the vehicles.

Its going to be like watching an hour long infomercial.

Top Gear in the UK may run without commercials but BBC America that runs the show on US airwaves has a ton of commercials.

Good luck finding a US show that will run nowadays without commercials or editorial input.
