Destroying the continuity by cutting 20 minutes out of the formula and sticking in commercials, is the first problem. The first decision of course, was what to cut out, and they seem to have simply removed the interesting part of everything. Then they chose hosts, seemingly at random, with no on screen draw at all. None of these guys is interesting in the least. I'm not saying they aren't good at what they do; they just don't work well as a team in this together, there's absolutely no chemistry at all. It was a chore to watch each episode all the way through. I could suggest ways to improve this show, but I know managers, and they NEVER take advice. They just want to insist that they made the right choices, and will continue to try to fix it fix it fix it fix it until it eventually is labeled as a failure, then they will blame someone else. End this horrible show now, and start again. Find an anchor person who is fun and has a personality, and then see who they can recommend. Because clearly, top gear u.s.a. sucked, and so does this. Add last years top gear which also sucked, and you've got a trifecta. Maybe it's time to try another formula. Oh, and if you're going to do a show in America with commercials? Make it an hour and a half. Otherwise, you'll always be squeezing the material and you'll never get it right.

Awfully scripted, terrible hosts (William what are you doing there!?) and stupid stories. Not that History Channel Top Gear USA was great, but actually so much better than this. They had at least one great guy (Tanner Foust) and ruined the program anyway. Here they did worst: can't really understand what the target audience was...

I really have a hard time understanding the negativity around this show. Is it Top Gear in its prime good? No it is not. I wouldn't begin to argue otherwise. However, I have completely lost interest in Top Gear with the onslaught of terrible hosts they have had since the trio left. You want to talk about forced? Look at any episode or host arrangement post Clarkson.... In my opinion, this show makes me feel like Season 1 of Top Gear original (the chemistry wasn't there either folks, it takes time!) , but Fichtner does a fantastic job as lead host, much like Clarkson hooked me in Season 1 of Top Gear. Antron and Ford do a great job of bringing some fresh takes on what a host can be of a car show. They are all very different and I think personally that is what makes it work. The show is just enough original to be interesting, without losing that Top Gear format. That to me is what makes the show worth watching. If it had been TOO original it wouldn't be Top Gear, and without a little originality it would just be Top Gear Redeux. This show isn't meant to be that! So far I have enjoyed every episode and looked forward to the next, which for me personally is a big deal and fills a void left that Top Gear post Clarkson just isn't filling.

What's with the pack of seals clapping like morons on camera for half an hour? (oh that's just the hosts) Let's play a drinking game where you do a shot for every time Antron says 'baby' OOPS! I'm already drunk. The only way it could be worse is if they just chanted "USA, USA, USA..." for the entire show. I swear, this is the ONLY motoring show I have EVER fast forwarded through. Absolute garbage.
