don't get the hate. It's improved so much since they got rid of the audience and the Big Star Little Car.

So, two things that makes Top Gear great.

Sorry, but I never thought the American perspective of any show could be more PC and pussified than anything out of Britain, but I've been proven wrong.

It felt forced on the U.S. version. It's way better now.

I know. Jay Leno couldn't make it work either. It's Jeremy, Richard and James. They are the show. All other iterations are just bullshite filler. Success in and of itself cannot be formulated, despite their best efforts. But then, they have no idea what true creativity is, so the quantification is expected.

The personalities are the reason people watch, not the subject matter. If it wasn't, I'd have started watching it long ago.

Top Gear USA is very entertaining and I don't get all the hate the show gets. Tanner is a fantastic driver and Rutledge brings journalistic creditably to the show. Adam could be replaced but he is there to wreck cars and show up in Caddys.

The car manufactures are really warming up to the show because they had a Mclaren on this show a few weeks back and no one would have ever thought that was possible. The manufactures enjoy having Tanner put their cars through their paces and they are paying good money to have it done.

I really enjoyed last night's episode.

The Top Gear USA crew is much better at road trip challenges than the car spotlights/testing at the studio. Watching those old trucks do an arctic expedition was pretty cool.

I do enjoy watching Tanner Foust throw a car around. Dude can drive.
