Top Gear USA

Wooden? I swear they've grown their presenters from seed.

Driftyboy (aka USA Hammond) is the lest annoying, but as for the other two, there's mister instantly forgettable, who's name I forget, and then Rutledge Wood... gah hes the american version of Mike Brewer.

I thought it might be first episode nerves, but now three episodes in and its just as bad

Guess they bought the rights to the image, but didn't employ any of the script writers.

Shame though as they've had some interesting metal on there, I need a two stage mute, where you can leave the car noises on but mute the commentators.

3/10

Its painful isn't it ???? I have only watched it as they have some different cars on there but its a very poor version of our very own TG.....

I love the cars, and Tanner is quite good, but the other two, geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
The way the new yorker jumped that Cadillac in the moonshine run though, I nearly pissed myself with laughter.
At least its less predictable than our one.
I still prefer 5th Gear myself, and both the US one and the 5th Gear are more concerned with cars than egos

Makes Clarkson and Co look good (well that may be over egging it a bit)

Like the cars BUT............ frankly the presenters are just weak clones compared to our TG - a great pity as they have so much scope to make their own mark in this format of show with the choice of muscle cars etc
