I like top gear USA just because they smash cars, make fun of minivans, and they really only do challenges.

Ya did you know he is officially banned from reviewing Ferraris? He called them out on their bull**** and they dont let him review them anymore. Apparently Jeremy Clarkson let him barrow that 458

Topgear usa is utter ****, too bad nobody keeps their mouth closed.

CHRIS HARRIS is a beast

- Delta wing Nissan driven flat out at road atlanta

- Lemans winning 962 porsche from 80's driven flat out at weissach.

As for other automotive shows and such, I watch them too and also enjoy them.

If it's a show about cars might as well watch it. Hardly see anything on TV about cars anyways so I'm glad we gearheads have such a variety of shows to watch online.

Agreed. Most people's complaint about it is it's not as good as the UK. In the first season, they tried to copy it and failed, miserably. They learned their lesson and have started to create their own. It has it's horrible staged things, but what do you expect of a show in America that can't do the things other countries get to. Just look at when UK comes here and they have to abide by the rules.

I enjoy the USA one for what it is, a car show where they crash into each other, crack jokes and do stupid ****.

I saw stand up from Adam some 10 years ago and it was hilarious. He's not as funny on here. But at least you know he represents the typical New Yorker. If you have ever spent time around that area, his role is funny.
