With only Six episodes in the last UK Series I say the more the merrier. I'll be watching, even if only for the American Muscle Cars it should be good value.

after seeing what they did with mad max 3 and other shows they`ve tried to rip off i cant see it going well. if they cant get a laugh
out of genuine people from genuine presenters then i can just picture
them blowing ****** up bigger and better than anyone else just to get a giggle.

I can't imaging History Channel having the budget of the BBC. So it's not going to compare, but I will give it a go. Top Gear Season 1 with Jason Dawe was pretty boring.

It was bound to happen eventually. Will give it a look even if only to laugh.

Looks like its gonna be a cross between TGA and "Jackass" where they kept trying to out stupid each other with various stunts.

Edit: Could be fun, might make me feel better about TGA.

I couldn't even make it to the end of the trailer, doesn't bode well on a whole episode..

I am not sure they will be that bad
I managed to watch trailer to the end, think we should give them a bit of time
to get into the role as how many years have the Poms had?
Though I do agree I watch the Pommy top gear for the cars & also the presenters as mostly they are enjoyable while the aussie top gear was just for the cars & this yank one may be the same.
In the end though is the cars I mainly like to see

the dude with the beard is annoying already. But I noticed that the small skinny guy is tanner foust who is a 2 time formula drift champion, so guaranteed bigger and better power slides and drifts better that Jemermy does.

The main problem with TGA and TGUSA is that it doesnt havent Clarkeson and the other 2 sidekicks, which is why TG(original) is so good to watch

It was ok. At least it had some fresh ideas unlike TGA which was a sad copy of TGUK. Still the dude with the beard is annoying.

That's actually a good move. If I want BBC America (and I do), I have to either get something like the Top 200 Channels on Dish! (No thanks!) or switch to DirecTV (which I may end up doing). More people get History.
