Personally I see it as a bad facsimile of Top Gear UK. If I had never even heard of the original I might find it somewhat amusing, though the lack of chemistry and likability of the hosts is hard to overcome. Who in the hell chose those guys? They aren't funny, they lack personality, and two of three don't really even seem to know cars. Nobody on a car show should ever utter the phrase "corners like it's on rails" except as a punch line.

However, as a huge fan of TG UK it just feels like a total rip-off. They do the exact same challenges from the UK version, they do the same jokes as the UK version, it's the same show just poorly duplicated. If they were able to infuse some originality, both in plot and in the hosts, I would probably watch it.
