I thought it was ok. No better that their avg show. I was expecting one of their epic shows. I'm hoping future episodes feature some of their epic adventure types.

Did not disappoint, they kept their wit, the cinematography was top notch. Pretty much what "top gear" was, before the BBC got its head up its ***.

Finally watched it last night.

It was like watching the Beatles perform where they could not put their name on the concert poster or play couple songs.

It was comfortable and familiar hitting all of the expected key notes and jokes. It was evolutionary versus revolutionary. Latter is what the "New" Top Gear needs in order to re-establish its brand.

Since watching, now I'm curious if Mike Skinner was "Big Stig" the american cousin to Stig.

Kinda wish they'd gotten Randy Pobst as their driver.
He's long been proven to be able to drive anything and is super articulate about how cars behave
