    Trying to be too much like the uk top gear with crap banter. The test track surface looked crap and the camera work was all over the place, especialy when they are filming from inside the cars! poor show haha

    If that exact show was done by the UK TG it would have been good. Otherwise it was poor! I quite like the track (bar the poor surface) Its a good handling track...so god knows why the Americans have it lol.

    i was bored the other night and found out about American Top Gear so i watched the first episode online... the amount of ad breaks and the poor humour from the guys made me not want to watch another episode! i would rather watch a chick flick

    Same lol.

    It's mostly crap but some entertaining bits. It's ment for Americans, they have a very different humour to us in general I think, as well as a completely different view as to what is a good car.
