Loved the comment on you tube "This s**t should be called reverse gear".

Whenever American shows are copied in Europe they do it to the T and they always are successful. It is not obvious what they are doing on this show, but this trailer looks like bad news. Here is what I'd do on the American Top Gear:

- Run all the top cars on a test track
- Have a studio audience - same as the UK version
- Have the American Stig - call him (or her!) something else
- As mentioned above, have more professional hosts
- Have professional filming (this is what make TopGear a HUGE pleasure to watch).

If beating a Cadillac to pulp in a field is the trailer for the US version, I am suspicious this is a low budget Jackass type show with a little MythBusters mixed in. NO thanks.

Anyway, since I don't have a TV, I will only have to watch what's linked to on the forums - I'll appreciate the digest.
