Top Gear America

I can pretty much watch any show about cars, watched the old one, kinda liked Tanner, Rut and Adam, was mildly entertaining, even the Australia version I could watch.

This brings me to the unwatchable **** currently call Top Gear America, WTF - 2 episodes and I had to mostly fast forward the first one, watched about half the second one and then deleted from my DVR the season pass. Tom Ford is the only one of the new hosts that is even remotely watchable.

It has potential but I don't think it will make it.

The current TG gets better and better. That and TGT (that's also still developing) is all we really need lol.

Top Gear America and Top Gear UK are boring now.

America, Adam and Rutt have to much personality, and when they do car reviews, its like they're trying to mimic the classic trio on the UK show.
UK, The whole team has no personality, the red headed guy was just annoying, glad he's gone.

You're dead inside if you think Matt and Harris have no personality...

Matt is boring, he isn't funny unless its scripted, even then its pretty dry...Harris is good to watch, but not funny.

maybe i am dead inside.

I don't think you have seen the new TG America - Adam and Rutt are gone, 3 new guys that are even worse!

The worst part is how horrible scripted it is. Like "WOAH, HOW DID WE END UP HERE? IN THESE CARS? WHAT A CRAZY COINCIDENCE GUYS???!!!" It's beyond bad.

It always takes a bit for a show to gain traction and its own personality, if it gets enough time I can see them doing well.

Personnally I like Matt and Chris. I find Chris Harris to be a great personality too watch when it comes to cars.

I like Chris Harris a lot but not talking about top gear, talking about the new top gear America http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/top-...rica/cast-crew

Like another has mentioned the show needs some time to gain traction. first season of Top Gear US was pretty garbage until the hosts became more comfortable with each other and it felt less scripted and more 3 guys having fun. I actually started to enjoy Top Gear US. The first episode of Top gear america was ok not terrible. Will be giving it a couple of chances and see if it gets better.
