Bad show, bad hosts, poor track, wrong channel, and enough of the sloppy car control already. Drifting is a total waste unless one enjoys ultra slow lap times and buying lots of tires.

Very funny and interesting feedback. I think we have plenty posted here for History chanel to improve the show.
LOL
These three character can run ANY show ... heck, it could run the country and bring complete bipartisanship to good old America

Oh god ... someone shoot me! Just forced myself to watch the second episode and it was just as bad as the first. It is becoming more and more like two high school bullies picking on the shorter Tanner. The statement " The blind can drift" just makes me want to punch the host! It was painful watching them sand blast the Aston V12 Vantage. Attention car companies ... keep your keys and don't waste your rubber and paint on this show.
The only entertaining part was the 3 minutes interview with Dominic Monaghan. I got an idea. Keep Tanner, get rid of the other two and start Dominic Monaghan. These Brits are much more entertaining!
I had more fun watching this old Top Gear show

honestly I could not believe that they picked 3 of the least charismatic people to host the show, then completely plagurised the format of the UK show ... dont know why they bother, dont know why I did, but I wont waste my time on the show again...
its a bit like buying a fake Rolex, its not the real thing, and you have paid good money for a worthless bling copy of the real thing!

Yieks! I just watched Top Gear probably for the last time. That poor Aston Martin, looks like those clowns took a page out of Fred’s book! That’s one pathetic program!!

I havent watched it yet..... dont know if I really want to now after all the comments I have read here and elsewhere.
But it sounds like they have to break from the British format a little. Maybe have regular guests like Leno/Sienfield/Tim Allen. Maybe even bring on the characters from Orange Co Choppers. If they can bring on someone like Tom Cruise (hes a real car/motorcycle nut) it could bring some interest to the show.
Maybe they should lay of the bullying (Faust/Tanner) it gets old after a while and they just look bad/fake depending on the particular interaction. They have to let the dynamics progress normally rather than scripting it in.

Beyond that I think that they staff behind the cameras that come up with the various segements etc, the specials, the races, the idea of "The Stig" etc is also a major contribution to the uniqueness of the show.
Simply copying the format, and hiring (at least two) of the US'es least charismatic human beings (who really should move out of their mother's basement...) is frankly doomed to the depths of mediocrity from the outset.
Hell I think I could even do a better job than those jokers...
