Reviews say that as the season goes on it gets better. The Evo X is in episode 2, its a remake of the one where Hammond raced the alpine skiers in the RS6 station wagon.

I thought the show tried to hard to be like the UK version and just failed everywhere. The big thing was the hosts. You can tell they are all reading from a script and have no interaction with each other. The commentary seems forced and their is no longer that good bit of humor that keeps even non car enthusiasts watching. Also don't know what kind of an intro that was for Stig but it was def not proper. hopefully it gets better but I'm gonna stick with the blokes across the pond for now.

The one liners are really, really, bad. I think they could have put more thought into the track layout as well or the camera angles even.

Yep, why did they try to make a direct US copy of the UK show. The guys are dorks. They aren't whitty like the brits. IMHO the show was boring. We already have an awesome UK version why even waste time with this?

i think they should just make it happen that the UK top gear is in our cable channel for a cheaper price.

I think they did ok, its hard to come out with part 2 of any movie, they had big shoes to fill. Maybe they will get it together and get a better chemistry going as the season progresses.

The show feels like it read every damn review on the web and decided to re-do there first episode.

This doesn't feel like anything they showed us last week..camera shaking..fake camera views...and horrible scripting.

This looks really promising....

You guys notice when tanner was at the finish line and he stopped the car it was clean with no snow anywhere..even though he was tearing it up in the snow seconds ago. Wheel spokes were stuffed with snow and all over the front grill but not at the finish line
