Well done! Fichtner, Ford and Brown are wonderful hosts with screen chemistry, lots of funny teasing between each other and The show is the rebel in the "Top Gear" family. Less technical info, more fun - in american style. Great car choise for each task. The fans of the UK version may be a bit disappointed but the show fulfills its task - the viewers have fun. Some of the guests were a bit too serious and focused which made it difficult for the hosts to break the ice.Would be better if the last episode "Time capsule" was actually first so the viewers could understand a bit more about the past and the car experience of the trio.

The original format where the three presenters emulating the three stooges formula seem to have vanished leaving an utterly boring program of cars you have seen on other car shows.
When I say boring I meant it in the superlative way possible. Imagine seeing them talking so monotonous about details (useless unconfirmed figures by the participating car companies), laughing forcefully for utterly no reason and repeating the mindless pathetic dialogue script to the end of the show. Surely the producers could have pick a few experts from the original British show and brought the same magic into it?
Top Gear under Chris Evans was never the same since Jeremy was sacked but at least it was not as bad as Top Gear America now.Ironically is Top Gear under Matt Le Blanc and his sidekicks Chris and Rory have finally brought back the loveable joy to watching the show. There are times when one have admit it is better than The Grand Tour.Comedy timing and delivery style with personality is hard?
Then why not learn from the Matt Le Blanc team?

Yet another version of Top Gear for America misfires on pretty much every level:It's so slick your attention slides off it. Its so fast more times than not I have no idea what I'm watching- who won what competition?And worst of all two of the presenters are dead fish with only William Fichtner coming across as watchable.How did this get on the air? It is absolutely awful most of the time and easily the worst Top Gear I've ever seen

As I sit here, I find myself perplexed. I'm desperately trying to craft clever superlatives to adequately convey to you the seemingly unobtainable level of terribleness this show has managed to achieve, yet anything I can think of falls cavernously short. This show is truly awful. You could scavenge the world to find 3 blind and deaf mutes from different countries and cultures and put them in a room together and within a matter of mere minutes they would have more chemistry than the hosts of this abysmal pile of trash can muster. The segments are drawn out and boring, offer no useful insights nor information on anything remotely related to automobiles, and have yet to arrive at any semblance of a point. The "celebrity" interviews are painful to watch; almost as painful as the mostly silence as the "star" navigates the test track. The only redeeming moment of this monument to crap are the end credits when you realize you've reclaimed your life.
