Top Gear US version premiere last night: opinions?

G Fo12ce

I thought it was entertaining. I'll leave it scheduled on the DVR.

I got to go to the taping of one of the last episodes where they talk about the Panamera they tested. Live the chemistry among the hosts seemed pretty good to me so I'm guessing it gets better.

The lead writer (a Britt) was on set as he is writing the lines and stuff so it should have some of the same flavor. The hosts did say they weren't trying to copy the UK hosts. They have thier own style, I think it's pretty good.

Adam was the funniest and seemed like a total pro. He'd do a lot of stuff in 1 take. But I thinks thats the guy from Rescue Me right? So I guess he has a lot of TV practice.

Rutledge was funny, not as polished as the other 2 but still good. I was surprised for a guy known to be associated with NASCAR he was the biggest import fan. Talked about how his project car was a SOHC Civic and how he liked BISIMOTO stuff...

Tanner is a good guy, decent sence of humor but comes off like the straight man to me. Great driver. I wonder if they saved money and use him as the Stig too lol???

We got to watch some of the Z episode. It's pretty funny, I think you'll find it entertaining. I read in an article Tanner used to be a track day instructor and that plays into that segment.
