Destroying the continuity by cutting 20 minutes out of the formula and sticking in commercials, is the first problem. The first decision of course, was what to cut out, and they seem to have simply removed the interesting part of everything. Then they chose hosts, seemingly at random, with no on screen draw at all. None of these guys is interesting in the least. I'm not saying they aren't good at what they do; they just don't work well as a team in this together, there's absolutely no chemistry at all. It was a chore to watch each episode all the way through. I could suggest ways to improve this show, but I know managers, and they NEVER take advice. They just want to insist that they made the right choices, and will continue to try to fix it fix it fix it fix it until it eventually is labeled as a failure, then they will blame someone else. End this horrible show now, and start again. Find an anchor person who is fun and has a personality, and then see who they can recommend. Because clearly, top gear u.s.a. sucked, and so does this. Add last years top gear which also sucked, and you've got a trifecta. Maybe it's time to try another formula. Oh, and if you're going to do a show in America with commercials? Make it an hour and a half. Otherwise, you'll always be squeezing the material and you'll never get it right.

People comparing this to the UK topgear should just give up and let it go already. It's not and never will be so just stop please and rate it on its own merits. I went into this version of topgear not expecting much and yeah it didn't disappoint. The old topgear USA is a 10 compared to this! I have watched every episode and it didn't get any better really which was a disappointment for sure. Only decent one was the old fifth gear host and he wasn't that great. Should of stuck with Tanner Adam and Rutledge, way better show then this. Gave it a 3 because of some good cars

Why does this show even exist? I didn't think it was possible to make a program worse then the original Top Gear America. I have to make double-sure that I renew my Amazon Prime subscription. What is it with BBC America and their endless Star Trek replays? How about some drama or 1/2 hr comedy programs? I'd rather watch Benny Hill and The Ladybirds than this lot.

I never leave 1 star reviews. It has to be unwatchable on every level. This fits that description. BBC what the hell? The back and forth "jokes" are soooo forced. Sooo canned. What sucks even worse is that you seem to have an awesome front man. Why couldn't you stop micro- managing so much and just let that dude be creative/interesting/funny/entertaining on his own? Oh that's right, you're BBC, you can't allow that. William Fichter, you're a smart dude, you had to have known how bad this was going to bomb. They must have offered you a lot of money. Hell I'd take it too. Don't worry, this won't taint your resume, this show has already been forgotten.
