I was pretty surprised but it wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be :p I kind of like the "american twist" thought it was kind of weird in some way...not sure how though

It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I don't think it'll be one of the shows I will watch religiously. Set it to record on DVR, incase I get bored I can watch it.

Get rid of Foust and Adam, and replace them, the other guy isn't as bad as I thought he would be.

Not really a fan. There is only one Stig, there is only one Clarkson, there is only one REAL Top Gear. The episode was OK, but I'm a little biased because I'm a BIG fan of Murcielago's...

i was a little disappointed in how they tried to make it as if it was a new show...paying homage would have been a nice tip of the hat to the UK crew. i think they could use a touch more humor in there instead of tanner droning.

I've only seen the first season of the original Top Gear.

I feel like I need to catch up before I can start watching the USA version.

So, it hasn't been too bad. I liked the episode 2 weeks ago, where they had to buy moonshine cars. Cracked me up.

I think they are getting the hang of it, but Tanner needs to go, IMO.

I'd keep tanner, for his driving abilities. I hate the dude, but he can drive a car really well. I'd get rid of the other two though. Get Adam Carolla back and someone else to portray Clarkson. Also, the whole "Star in a small car" bit is dumb and awkward. Keep it as Star in a reasonably priced car and shorten the track video.

It won't touch the OG Top Gear, but I have to say, Rutledge is pretty funny, I didn't think he would be.

I think that's what made the original Top Gear such a hit, it wasn't race car drivers driving the cars, it was 3 blokes that didn't race car professionally.

Adam Carolla but keep Rutledge, I think he has the potential to be a good host for Top Gear.

It's not the hosts fault the producers want to do stuff the original Top Gear has done. The hosts aren't that bad, it's just that Tanner Foust is so monotoned, he BARELY displays any type of emotion, which is annoying. It's always he's acting like "I have such a better car at home, this is boring"
