This screams gay
Dukes of Hazzard- starring Tanner Foust as Daisy Duke.

Doing donuts in the gravel with a Chevelle, can't wait...... it's been over 20 years since I thought that was cool.

Top Gear Australia has its moments.

History channel? Does history imply something?

No chemistry in the trailer and that's not good. Usually trailers showcase the best bits to get viewers to watch.
This version seems like it's trying too hard to be cool, the guys seem to strut around like they're the untouchables. What works with the UK original is that the 3 guys aren't afraid of looking stupid and the show pokes fun at itself and never takes itself too seriously.
I give Top Gear USA one season at best.

2 seasons... your generous, maybe two episodes... This is disappointing, they are capitalizing on the Top Gear name, and hoping this show will work. I absolutely love Top Gear and as much as I would like to see a north American version, I just don't think it will work. Might watch an episode or two, but not really impressed with the trailer. Oh well.

I'll give it a shot anyway. It's not like there are many other good car shows to watch....

I think this is just the diffeence between British humour that works and US humour which ah...doesn't. If you know what I mean.
