Such a shame too. Top gear UK really didn't give American cars a fair shake. Sure, they had some episodes dedicated to American makes later on but they never explored wierd american cars like the Pontiac Fiero or the Plymouth Prowler. If Top Gear UK did this skit with the TV/movie cars they would have gotten an actual DeLorean, a correct generation firebird, and charger to do it with. Clarkson would complain the entire time and it would be more entertaining than this.
So we have a Duster pretending to be General Lee, a Celica as a Delorean and a wrong-generation trans-am as KITT. If this is the quality that is Top Gear America, we're not missing anything.
Well, at least KITT was a Trans Am and a much better performing version than the 1982 model used in the show, but it still would have been better with the correct cars.
I liked this version of Top Gear, they were good too - in their own way. Problem is that people keep comparing it to the original, which was sort of a different show really.
I feel like this is the best Top Gear USA scene I've seen so far. I actually wanted to see more than just the one challenge shown in the video. Lately, they seem to be finding a new 'groove' thats working out well.
AE86 as a Delorean DMC-12 , Pontiac Firebird 1995 as a Pontiac Trans Am 1981 , Plymouth duster as a Dodge charger 1969 ..... Anyway that video was very funny 😂 !
"Construct replicas of...." None are even close The duster as the general only passes because decals The other two, out of context, you'd never know what was going on
LeiserGeist shame? UK top gear do it all the time, they pick up some dirt cheap wheels and sort of ironically put go faster stripes or something else that makes no difference to how awful the car is, you're clearly not a proper fan of UK TG as you would know this
Imo, the more you watch it, the more respectable Top Gear USA is. I know Top Gear UK is the best. But, this is quite worth watching compared to the new Top Gear UK and Top Gear America
I love these guys!! History channel was totally stupid to cancel this! This show isn’t one of their best, but I like the way the 3 of them are together. Friends, manly and playful all at the same time. Way to go guys! You need another show!
You guys must not read very well. These are replicas of the T.V. cars. In the whole episode, they were given a budget(believe it was 2,000 dollars) to make their best replica, hence the "delorean" not being an actual Delorean, and the Trans Am not being the right year.
Come on bro the american version not that bad (besides from the accent) it's alright, and yes i do know the British one is a country mile better but i still don't mind the american one.

Also I hate how people criticise this show just cos it’s not Clarkson, Hammond & May but to their credit these three are polar opposites of those guys, a lot of the challenges that they did were completely unique to them (I know they did intentionally copy them sometimes) and when you actually sit back and watch it as it’s own entity it’s actually quite entertaining.
bobthebrush As for any new show with a new cast of hosts, they're all garbage. Chemistry isn't exactly there from the start. If anything, Top Gear Australia is worse than these guys and they've been together for a while now.
Hey everybody I have an idea. Let's go watch videos about something on UA-cam that we don't like and complain about how we don't like them! Then we can belittle the people that do like them and the things that those people like because obviously our opinions are right and theirs are wrong. Plus I'm sure everyone on the internet is dying to see what our opinion is.
Interestingly they have a same type of relation as the Clarkson May Hammond trio, There’s the -Showoff (Indiana Clarkson) -the “logical” one (Capt. Slow) -the dreams (Hamster)
No they don’t. They try to act like them. Too gear America’s relationship is forced and they can’t pull off the “cheap car challenge” Dynamics either because instead of the cars representing what kind of person bought them instead the studio gives them random cars they think will be funny posing as the real ones
I am sorry, but this isn´t Top Gear, because there aren´t Richard, Jerremy and James, The Stig and other who made Top Gear. I don´t say that it isn´t funny...some moments are funny, but it is only show about car. Is isn´t Top Gear. I am sorry, but it is true!!
