Top Gear USA -wtf?

[daggett]

Yes you have read correct, they have just aired an EP of TOP GEAR USA. I think that is taking things too far!.

[r1inoz]

they will claim that they invented top gear and the poms stole it lmao!

Top Gear USA is not Top Gear. I searched for the best way to describe the differences between the two – and this is what I came up with.

Top Gear UK is a comedy show that happens to be about cars.

Top Gear USA is a car show with a complete lack of comedy.

There are many ways to compare and contrast the differences between the two. They’ve borrowed the visual style of the show – but being shot in American NTSC in HD gives the show a very unrealistic look and feel.

The hosts are adequate – but I’m not going to bother to learn their names. They did a decent job at it – but they don’t have much personality and very little chemistry, but that doesn’t mean they won’t one day.

I kept trying to figure out who the ‘Clarkson’ was – but but I gave up. What’s the point? This is NOT Top Gear as Anglophiles know it.

How so true, which makes it so sad.! About to watch the EP myself.

OMG, I wish I could send u all this show just because I would show how bad they are about to destroy the top gear name, Its like NCIS v NCIS LA nothing beats the orginial.

Surely it couldn't be any worse than the Australian version.

I dunno, the yanks are awesome at taking a good idea and destroying it!

[wikky]

That's very true.

moonshine running bloody rednecks!~

[daggett]

Unfortunally we might have a contender!

[soop]

Contender for what, shittiest rip off ever?

I saw a clip of the Aussie version, it sucks to say the least.

Showed some yellow VL and the guy didn't stop crapping on about how it was his uncles and he always wanted a VL or something, hardly said a word about the specs of his car. Then he does a few skids to fill in the rest of the 10 mins.

Cant believe how crap it is.

Top gear USA makes TG-AUS look top class.

I'd rather paper cut my testis and dip them in lemon juice than watch TG-AUS, doesn't say much about TG-AUS.

i agree though, that show looks so shit. not the only awesome TV series the US is going to clam as their own.
