Top Gear America

I like Rob as an actor and watch everything he's in but every time he speaks he sounds like he hates cars. The other two hosts seem to have a true love for vehicles but even when Rob praises cars he sounds cynical and not in a funny way. This aspect of the show kinda takes the fun out of it for me. To be clear though there are leaps and bounds above the original cast, although I liked Tanner.

I still like it better than the new s**t show that is Top Gear without the original cast. I honestly can't understand the casting choices in that show period. I'm glad the guys came back on the Grand Tour.

This iteration of TG was made for a streaming service and it shows. Camera work is awkward. Seems like every episode, or at least the 2 I could sit through were filmed in the middle of the desert. Its as if 95 percent of their budget went to buying/renting the supercars. The hosts aren't funny and seem awkward together. History Channel's 2010 version started off iffy but became pretty enjoyable as the series went on. That may happen here but it would take a considerable amount of work to get there.

Cast chemistry is weird. They're also trying to do the classic Top Gear joke and poke routine but it's rarely funny and mostly corny

The top gear UK from the trio never gonna happen again, we get it. But this, is just bad and boring. Bring back tanner, rut and the other one, and give a new twist to the show.

Well made, sure, little rough round the edges compared to the technical standards of the UK edition in it's prime, but at least up to the standard of Motortrends other shows. It's main problem is that the magic between the hosts just isn't there, and it feels waaaaay too scripted - the earlier US team had more of the magic and were more natural hosts. The next is, these guys are acting like they're all stars, when they're unknowns for this audience - Motortrend would have been better off calling up a couple of race drivers or some youtubers. And as for the GeoBlocking, it's time mobs like Motortrend realised that all they get when they limit the audience location, is to get pirated.
