    One word, SHIT. It's a direct rip off of the UK one, which is awesome. Why don't they try and come up with a new idea instead of trying to copy (badly) Clarkson & the gang. Or better still, take the US Top Gear off and show more UK Top Gear.

    Happy & Safe Holidays everyone

    Lame take-offs of the UK version don't cut it and the personality and age mix of the hosts is terrible. What's next will they try and destroy an old ford ranger, wouldn't take much. As to bringing an old GM back into the limelight I would vote for pretty much anything built in the 60's or 70's, the new cars and trucks are pretty lame by comparison.
