I think the people that didn't like the show either compared it to something else or had no sense of humor.This show was one of the better cleaner nicer more fun shows that ever aired on public television. They would do things with cars that would cost a lot of money and super fun to watch the carnage and antics of these guys.If you want to buy or even watch a fun series this is it. Too bad the world is full of hatred because here was a real show.Okay I have to say something else because I don't have enough lines. The actors in the show were not actors they were just real guys being silly having fun. Maybe they weren't cool enough for some of you but these were just regular guys having the time of their life. Watch the show and enjoy it because what's left of public TV is Satanic supernatural bloodshed. If that's what you want no problem there

Honestly this show is an embarrassment. Nothing works well. The "personalities" are beyond watchable, stupidity at its pinnacle. The people on TopGear UK actually know something about cars, have a passion for cars. These twits are typical reality TV know nothings. All of it is quite painful to watch, please end it. it is a national disgrace, an abomination. Yes it is that bad. Nothing unique or original about this show, I wanted so much to like this show when I heard it was in the works, now I wish they had never attempted a US version. You want a good show? Hire people that are credible! This crap sucks. American audiences are not this stupid to accept this swill.

Get rid of car guys and use comedians!!! The only car guy should be the Stig! Mix the show up, not just one suck fest totally transparently engineered challenge. I want car reviews by idiots and comedy and real challenges and cottage engineering competing against real vehicles. Even the Aussie version is better. Come on USA, fire these ass monkeys and get some guys with senses of humor that go off script and have chemistry. This is poorly scripted garbage! I used to respect Tanner Foust as a driver. Now I think of him as a self indulgent spoilt little gob shite. Way to screw his career! Come up with something original! Show us some great American roads! Go to war with the rest of the world. American vehicles vs the best of everyone else! You guys blow goats!!!!

When I first watched the USA version, I was very disappointed. They had copied much of the British version but the show lacked chemistry.I happened to watch one of the latest British episodes and actually found the USA version to be much more fun. IMHO the best British episodes were always those where they did road trips - Vietnam, the southern US, the north pole, etc. Their regular episodes like the one I just watched included their rambling on the latest car news, a couple of car reviews, and the most boring of all, star in a car (that portion might as well be dancing with the stars except it's even worse since they spend a five to ten minutes chatting with their "star" who is often second or third rate at best; isn't this supposed to be a car show?). I should admit I still like the show even with its shortcomings.Now the USA version has transformed itself into the weekly road trip that I love so much on the British version. The three actors now truly have chemistry and it is obvious they enjoy what they are doing. Shame they only select cars from the US market but at least once in awhile at the end of the show they get to drive something that was never sold in the US (the Peel Trident is a good example) Watch this season's aquatic cars and I'm sure you'll agree that it's even better than the British equivalent that they copied. I had almost given up on the show and I ignore the old repeats, especially those that included the star in a car. I had never truly considered Top Gear as a car review show (watch Autoweek if you need that) and the USA version has finally succeeded in becoming pure automotive entertainment and nothing more. Keep up the good work; I still cannot believe I'm finding the USA version better than the British one!
