here's the article from TG site:
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/top...ased-tg-series I think the BBC wanted the name back, being honest. As I recall it, History/Discovery purchased the rights to the name, but the BBCs involvement was minimal, hence why we never saw a crossover similar to TG Australia or Germany. It won't be the same as if the Original 3 were involved, but at least there is a possibility of a crossover with the series being on BBC America. |

Well, viewers set your DVR... Top Gear America MK2 starts this Sunday....
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLhZFPYmi7U"]Top Gear America | Meet the Hosts | Series Premiere Sunday July 30 at 8/7c on BBC America - YouTube[/ame] [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeGtbQ2PFG4"]TOP GEAR AMERICA Official Trailer (HD) BBC America Series Premiere - YouTube[/ame] and some others here on BBC America I'll say this much, at least in the trailers Fichtner, Brown and Ford seem to already have more chemistry and ease on camera than either the Top Gear USA and maybe even the newer Top Gear UK crews. Time will tell....

Watched Episode 1 last night. The hosts are a little stiff (sort of a like a decent but not great YouTube channel) but at least they seem to have returned to the proven format of shorter segments.
The best part of the show was being able to see the NSX on the track. What a beautiful car!
