Is/Do you think, Top Gear US will feature the Twin?
 

I see that a new season of TopGear US will start soon.

We all already know the original(and better) TopGear EU already featured the Twin a bit ago..but, will TopGear US have a go at it too?


:burnrubber:

Who gives a flying fuck, it's TGUS.

I tried SO HARD to watch TopGearUSA.

Once.

For about fifteen minutes.

It was like listening to a country and western song on repeat.

Now every time I see a TopGearUSA commercial I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

The thing about topgear US is....

The hosts have no personality! And they try to mimic the dynamics of Top Gear.

Only Jeremy Clarkson can be Jeremy Clarkson. UK Top Gear is much better.

I don't care. TGUS is just a way for the history channel to exploit the top gear brand. Mediocre commercial-like presenters, predictable and sometimes downright stupid challenges, a lack of adventure, and little creativity. And it's annoying. /endrant

Well..this thread didn't go too well haha.

It's obvious that TGUS blows. Tell us something we all don't already know, lol. But, I am sure everyone is still curious (some secretly, for the TGUS basher bandwagon) if they'll show a twin; and if they do, I am sure everyone will want to watch it still ;)

Well I like TGUS, except for Adam Ferrara, so FUCK ALL OF YOU.


Also, the episode tonight is from Gainesville. I know some guys from our Gainesville 86 page got to see them, so maybe you'll see an 86 in one of the shots. I tried very hard to find Tanner and get him to drive my car so I could cream myself, but I was too late and they had already left town.

Who gives a flying fuck, it's a 200hp econobox with a lawnmower engine.

Huh, I like Adam and Rutledge, very similar to Hammond and May in my mind. They get excited about the things that they like and have fun as much as possible and give each other a reasonably hard time.

I think they went wrong with Foust. I agree with Clarkson:

People who drive fast are rarely entertaining (the only exception I have off the top of my head is James Hunt), there's only so many things a person can be good at. The first couple of episodes were painful but they started to pull it together when I was watching (the moonshine challenge and used car salesman were as good as most TGUK budget challenges), I didn't finish season 1 however, things could have gone either way since then. I don't keep up with TGUK either, all I know from 18 on is the Toyobaru review.

The thing that gets most people is that it's more obvious that the gags are staged rather than natural in the US version. They are just as staged in TGUK, but the Britishness and subtlety of their nature obscures the setup for us Yanks.

Do you really think they set up ALL the cameras, microphones, and locations when starting a challenge and just let the presenters roll up as they feel like it? Oh and they already have microphones on them ready for recording when they hop out of their car/tow truck?

That's exactly it. They are trying to be tguk. Copying success is not the way to develop a successful fan base.

I'd attempt to watch it if they do. In all honesty it seems they copy the UK version too much. Like the making a car into a boat. It was so similar to the UK version. Just I don't know, it seems if the US version got people that got along together a lot better and had fun it would be better. They just don't look like they're enjoying themselves half the time.

TGUS has gotten a lot better. It's just mindless entertainment like TGUk. Neither are valid car review shows.
