Of course they're copying the formula, they'd be stupid not to and if they weren't going to why bother calling it Top Gear?

Have you watched the first 2-3 seasons of new TGUK? They're particularly miserable, it takes time to find that on camera chemistry and 2/3 of them aren't actors. UK had the benefit of ~5 years of being a 'pokey little motoring show on BBC2' while TGUS had high expectations going in, especially after seasons 10-15 of TGUK.

Glad to hear it's picked up since I stopped watching.
