Per the info posted on FinalGear.com I knew they were making one but never watched it. So what's the verdict, good or bad?

I don't think anyone will ever match the magic of Clarkson, May and Hammond. But it's actually pretty good- Aussie humor included!
Here's the rest of the show, 997 review in Part 2; Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

It's better than any US car show, but not quite as good as the UK version. But hey, it's only the first episode. Let the guys find their groove. I think it was a mistake to make the set and everything about the show the same.

entertaining the idea

Not bad for the first show. I can only imagine that it will get better over the next few shows.

the first one was ..... ummm.... bad. The others following it are an improvement but still doesnt measure up to the UK version. None the less it still beats the US car shows by a mile.

I think it would be a better show if they had a chicky babe on the team instead of one of the guys. Kinda like Fifth gear does.
