Top Gear USA returns to the UK this Friday

The India Special brings the term suck to new depths.

I’m actually from USA and absolutely hate the USA version of top gear…. a bunch of idiots thinking they’re bad ass… please cancel this show..

@X1-And I thought that season one of TopGear Australia was bad…

Why would anyone be excited about the US version? It’s TERRIBLE!

I have seen a bit of season 2 already and I was really surprised at how much I liked it – I thought the presenters were pretty funny and it was far more like the good old days of UK TG when they did challenges without the need for stupid set up “accidents and stunts”.

Also the trailer was pretty damn sweet too – nice music choice:)

TG usa is the worst. THE worst.

OMG , men behaving badly all over again , can someone not think of something original ?. I’ve jest seen the trailer for the programme , and one definitely to miss , thanks for the warning…………….

I saw season 2 and its a good one, they r revising a 3rd one for us here in USA. Don’t forget people Jeremy, James, and Richard all said they liked the show and actually argued over some of the vehicles used in their cheap car challenges as to whose was better!

I think they completely over did the usa season 2. I like the challenges, but when an episode is nothing but the challenge week after week, it really gets boring. Some car reviews in between, or actually filming them as they go to buy their cars. First season was better than this, I Actually think the the Australian one is better, though they change host every season.

Please try to evolve this program as we have all evolved in the last 10 years. It was all very funny, at first, but it starts to get a little bit childish the longer it goes on. Mind you, the goofing about of Jeremy, James and Richard has the same problem. Try to grow up at some stage. We do like the topic but the presentation becomes so repeditive.

Wait… Why is it returning? It’s soo boring and not funny, the British version is 100 times better.

I’m British and I actually quite like Top Gear USA. Of course they’re going to copy the successful format of the British version, but I think the hosts have a good rapport with each other and they do some interesting challenges and reviews.

I’ve watched top gear USA a few times sometimes it is good to watch but when is the original coming back to bbc2?

There was no reason to make Top Gear USA. All they had to do was show Top Gear (original).

Top Gear usa is brilliant, didnt have high hope but season 1 was great and cant wait to watch season 2

You can promote TGUSA but can’t respond to complaints about the India special, why so?

Americans have never been very witty and when they shoot the show there is a feeling like no one will watch this show

LOVE TG USA and LOVE the hosts! In fact, I often like the USA version BETTER than the UK one!

And to Anonymous who thinks that Americans have never been very witty, give the 2nd season a chance tonight, you might be surprised how witty we Americans can actually be!

I’ve seen all these episodes, and they are two good ones coming up tonight for you Brits, so just give it a chance!

I’m American an I hate TGUSA, it’s lame. Yet again we try reinterpret a show, lose its spirit and create a cheap imitation. The Car Show on ESPN is much better. Its clever and entertaining like TGUK.

I live in Canada and thankfully after that CRAPPY first season, none of our channels seem to be carrying the TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING usa version. It is TERRIBLE!!! Hopefully in the future the other stations will get wise and not carry it. The presenters are TERRIBLE, the shows too scripted.

when is season 18 going to start?

I live in the US and the US version of Top Gear is ridiculous. 2 frat boys and an actual driver is no comparison to the UK version. All it would take to make it a good show is presenters that actually like driving, have some automobile education, and are not idiots. Keep the Hammond lookalike, hire Adam Carolla and that silver haired guy from The Car Show (vastly superior show to the US Top Gear) and can, or freeze in Carbonite, the other two dumba$$es. Then I would watch this horrendous copy of a great show.

Tried to like it but……….. just isn’t funny, in the UK Top Gear vain. Maybe they,(the US version), will find there legs someday, as did the boys from the UK. But until then I’ll stick to the original version. The presenters of the UK version are a unique and eclectic bunch, and I quite enjoy there banter.
The travelogues, cars and camera work are pretty sweet as well.

It’s so nice

I watched it for 20 minutes………….oh dear!! A very poor imitation…………still – thats America for you. Take it off UK TV please.
