Yeah the hosting was boring, they were way to stiff. Also seems like they are trying to hard to copy the original. But its the first episode so can't really judge it to hard because it has potential and that viper was sexy.

needs more Clarkson! Yes the real Top Gear is still going....The American TG could have been great with other Hosts, can't stand Tanner Faust, though Adam Ferrara is funny bastard, don't know the fat *** with the beard...its too bad they could not get Steve Allen, Leno.... and I thought Adam Corolla was going to be a host? I will give it a chance though...perhaps it will get better as episodes progress..

I definitely think it will get better, a lot of the humor in the British version is the guys making fun of each other which comes from years of doing the show together. The Viper versus the Cobra seemed a little too rehearsed and choreographed.

Zzzzzzzzz
1.the host are boring
2. thier first guest-buzz aldrin??? They couldnt do any better?
3. The viper segment ? meh
4.The lambos were cool.
5.Reasonably priced car was an import? I see no big three influence

And of course the stig.

Why couldnt they make the show thier own? a cookie cutter of the original wont fly.

Not a fan. It seemed like the only person that was really a car guy was Tanner Foust, but he kept trying to show off that he was a drifter, and I found it really annoying.

I am not a fan.

It was horrible, just as I figured it would be. Its Jeremy Clarkson and the co-hosts that make the British Top Gear so great, not just the cars.
