All I see this season is Tanner praising every car he drives with boyish affection. The beauty of Clarkson is that he nit picks $hit and will come out of left field with wild opinions. He'll hate a Ferrari 599 despite all of its perfection or love a TVR Sagaris despite the hood being about to blow away. Tanner is just going to think every car is 'neato'.

:iagree:

Oh well, I suspect most of us have BBC America, access to the interweb, and a Netflix subscription so we can watch all the right Top Gear episodes. :tup:

I haven't watched it yet, will prob do so later tonight. But give it 3 episodes, if you still don't like it then it is fair. But it takes a bit of time to get used to a copy show when you are already used to the original hosts

Fixed!! I am sure any man .. of any age .. would find the hot female host more intriguing! LOL

Finally watched it and the first thing I noticed is the lack of production skill in comparison to the UK original. The next thing is the lack of charisma from each host we are used to seeing.

Love Tanner's driving skill though! I also like their track layout better. Since I'm in it for the cars, I'll be DVRing this along with the UK version for sure! Next episode should be good for us!! :tup:

Everything seemed forced. They need to trash the scripts and just talk about these cars.

Unnatural.... I'm not impressed. We'll see what it's like halfway through the season. I don't like the total lack of creativity though. They're going to rehash a lot of the great moments of Top Gear which seems cheapish, to me at least.

Still, commercials will ruin this show more than the wooden hosts.

I agree about the lines seeming a bit forced. I was watching hoping things would smooth out but no..too copied.

On the other hand I hope the show keeps going because I like hearing and watching high end cars going fast.

What would totally destroy the show is if budget starts to slim down and the show turns into a "Road and Track" review.

I watched it today and I enjoyed it.

next weeks sounds be interesting

Saw it tonight...it was ok. I'll wait and see how it progresses. I do agree though, I enjoy the driving skills of Tanner and the new track

Did anyone else notice how small the Stig is? I'm starting to wonder if the Stig is just a certain host with driving skills.... :)

^ Good point. The new track is pretty cool.

Just dropped in to let you all know that the first episode is free to download in HD on the PlayStation Store for PS3 if you haven't seen it. It's only free for two weeks though, after which it'll be $2.99 or thereabouts.

Got Sony's newsletter earlier which says they'll be putting the series up as episodes air on TV.

I know a lot of people didn't like it but I thought it was pretty good.
Looking forward to the next Z episode
