They're all trying to copy the success of the British version of top gear and none of them are even close. Nothing beats the original.

i felt top gear US was better and the next episode looks even better. Matt was the only good guy on "the car show", adam is becoming annoying. Camaro owners need to get over Matt's review of the camaro.

Ain't that the truth. I wonder how someone who's never seen the UK version would feel about these shows? I had high hopes, but both USTG and this show are barely watchable.

The biggest problem with both shows, besides trying too hard to be a copy of the original, are the hosts. There's just no chemistry between them. I don't find myself laughing out loud like I do with the original. Usually, it's a challenge to stay interested enough to even get through an entire episode. The latest horse shit episode was REAL challenge.

i'm not crazy about top gear either. It's one thing to watch Tanner drive a Ferrari California to Vegas, or to watch a helicopter track him in a Viper. But when they drive cross country in 3 old cars i 'm just not interested. I want to see hot cars.

"The Car Show" is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. How much Botox has Carolla had, AND they can all turn in their man-cards for being pussies about how dirty the LeMons cars were.

Most people don't own ferraries or vipers, but many viewers own or remember owning some of the cars they use in their stunts/ challenges. I really enjoyed the Americas Toughest Truck show they did. Reminded me of the old 77 Blazer I had.
