I was dissappointed again with the show. Much better than last weeks but still not that exciting and the show doesn't make you laugh like TG UK. The guests are a couple guys from a stupid tv show, I wish they would have actual stars on the show.

They are getting slightly better but still weak. I watched the last 3 episodes of the Car Show and enjoyed that a little better.

Seems to be trying to hard to be an American retread of the British original rather than being it's own thing. As such, it comes off as neither fish nor fowl, as the old saying goes. There's a lot of good in the mix that just needs to cohere better into it's own skin.

Does it bother anyone else that they'll take relatively nice older cars and totally trash them? Specifically I'm speaking of the opening episode of season 2 where they idiotically tried hauling manure. It was a pointless attempt at being funny in my opinion.

I think The Car Show on speed tv is a better show than top gear USA

nah, no chance. The production values on the car show make it look like a public access program. Honestly, it could use some work. I like the concept, and even the hosts mostly, but definitely can use some work.

Am I the only one who was hoping the telephone pole would fall on the truck and they'd have to cut his fat *** out of it?

Never thought of that but that certainly would have been funny

Poor bronco. But I feel the jeep won. Tanner just has no patience so he used all his gas.
