Downloading the first episode now, from quite a few reviews, it's been pretty negative...oh well I'm gonna watch it anyway to see if it's any good...

I've seen it and it's ok. It's a good job considering it's thier first stab at this whereas TGUK has had years to refine their show.
One thing I terribly dislike is the track. It seems too short and basic...The first corner is too slow and automatically makes it dull already with any car they test.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER IF YOU CARE*



He shouldn't have said that's THE Stig rather something like, the cousin of the Stig would be good considering we all know that's not THE Stig.

Wow that made me cringe a bit when he got into the Lambo and immediately bounced off the rev limiter. I hope that car was warmed up before hand. Short test track too, seems a bit too easy.

Filmed just like BBC quality though

Hosts seem a bit way too happy imo

Not too fond of the "What were they thinking?" board....

Porsche review was short, maybach wasn't even necessary.

Not bad for first show, needs polishing

Now Top Gear USA....I hope american advertisers don't ruin this one
