  • I've watched it once. Five minutes of it. And I would rather cut off both my legs with a rusty old Stanley Knife than watching 10 seconds of it again. The worst part isn't that the Americans as always have ruined something great and beloved. No, it's the fact that people actually watch this. They think they are watching Top Gear. They think ''The Stig'' is The Stig. They think the Americans came up with this show, and they think it's great. Why do people like Americans? Fucking shit.

  • Thumbs up if you think the UK Top Gear is way way better..

  • I'm American and I hate top gear us they arnt funny like Jeremy Richard and James top gear uk is way more better.

  • A lot of the bbc fans sound like a bunch of pansies. I personally love ustg. Why? Because it is the first top gear I saw. I've seen the bbc version and it's okay too. But I'm more used to the u.s. version. And before you hate on ustg at least get your facts straight and remember the u.s. didn't "copy" the uk, the uk owns the show. And also the uk original show didn't start off fantastic either.

  • @gymnasticzlife nicely put

  • Unfortunately

  • @EzioAltair76 im american and i agree with almost every word you just said

  • @HersheyBearsAHL same here I can't agree with you more

  • I'm American, and I think Top Gear USA sucks! Which is why I watch the REAL Top Gear on BBC America.

  • Not to brag, but honestly, I could've did a better job as a presenter.

  • Correction, my mistake. Adam Ferrara is the "comedian" who isn't funny and can't drive worth a crap. Tanner would've been better off as The Stig. Tanner isn't very good at presenting cars. At least there'd be less verbal diarrahea on the show.

  • Adam, Tanner, and Rutledge are 3 neutered, middle-aged men who never had a yoyo, a dog, firecrackers, or a fun childhood when they were small boys. They pretend to laugh at each other and themselves, when it was really scripted for them to do it. They lack genuine charm, humor, personality, character, wisdom, and anybody can see right through their "on-screen persona."

  • 5. Entertainment/ Humor. Top Gear UK, even if it offends some, tries to slide some humor or genuine fun entertainment in their challenges, reviews, races, or epic trips. Which made it enjoyable to watch, moments memorable, added personalty to their character, and fans of the show can identify with the presenters because they too have had motoring mishaps similar to the ones on the show. The entertainment/ humor is what adds charm to the show.

  • 4. Freedom to openly criticize car makers and cars. Top Gear UK got popularity through the free and open criticism of car makers and their products; newer cars improved as a result. Kia improved the Rio after Jeremy said it was "sleep inducingly awful" when him and James were looking for a decent Pacific Rim car. Top Gear USA dialogue is too bland and politically correct.  Verbal mush because The History Channel doesn't want to pay for slander/ defamation of character lawsuits to car makers.

  • 3. Show Format. Top Gear UK works because they thoroughly test a wide range of vehicles, shows the highlights and faults, add humor/ be entertaining, blend with good soundtrack, and emphasize the purpose best suited for a particular vehicle. Top Gear USA just shows off supercars and expensive muscle cars-- cars many will never see or drive in their lifetimes. Top Gear UK, at many times, involved the public in reviewing cars. Top Gear US doesn't and their reviews are "my way or the highway."

  • 2. Vehicles presented/ show content. All they're doing is peeling donuts in muscle cars, banging on about POWER. And re-iterating that stupid nonsense about bashing imports, "Buy American" crap. People are sick and tired of being imposed to buy USA cars because its unpatriotic if you don't. The answer is simple: If it's good for many driver's needs and wants, reliable, good price, cheap to fix, we'll buy it. If not, we won't.

  • Reasons why Top Gear U.S. sucks:

    1. Presenters. They lack in chemistry, personality, humor. They're zombies. Adam's New York accent is annoying and NY drivers have high insurance rates for the amount of crashes they have. They crash more than they drive, so take his advice on cars with a grain of salt. Rutledge's knowledge is in NASCAR, a stupid motorsport where all they do is drive in a circle. Wow, real skill. And Tanner, the "comedian". When is he going to say something funny?

  • This shit sucks and yes I'm an American

  • I'm American and I think Top Gear U.S. is TERRIBLE. The television producers behind this have to understand that, what makes Original Top Gear so amazing is Jeremy Richard and James. Without them, you just have a bunch of copied stunts.

  • maybe the one reason top gear us sucks is because of their accent? haha its so bland and plain. lol

  • the only person i like in this top gear is tanner foust

  • get this shit off this fucking channel

  • I just can't wait for Top Gear Canada. With the best of the best snow mobiles.

  • P.s no hate intended :)

  • @SCRIV3N No hate taken :) I love British humor!! Some how when ever we Americans try to make our version of a British show it gets lost in translation so to speak. I love top gear UK, I don't like the Top Gear US version at all!!! Over on thisside of the pond we need to do what we do and let you guys do what you do and love em both!!! :) You guys are our cousins!! Like one big family.

  • P.S. actually I can't stand any version of Top Gear other than the original. Those guys make the show. Kinda like a movie where they make a sequal or third one and change the actors and try to pass it off. Always sucks!!

  • I prefer the original. Meh, you had a go...and failed like all the other American takes on British telly shows.

  • how dare they have copied real one and now.. they are going to be emited in BBC 3.. Top Gear USA, gtfo!

  • This US show is shit

  • Comment removed

  • I think the cast is good....they got the video production right...but copying the same stuff from TG UK is lame... try to be your own...I hope the opinions are their own as well..didn't see a complete show yet...so can't be judging...but the dislike bar seems to be a good democratic indicator...

  • My dick is the size of the dislike bar.

  • Comment removed

  • We Americans just buy the cars. I love TopGear UK, but I am not going to argue that this show sucks. British people have a totaly different culture than us, but we Americans aren't going to be ignorant and talk badly about them. I've served in the USAF and been to the UK, in the end we're all brothers.

  • I only like the uk version

  • Im sure they lack the humor....but mor car shows wont be bad...americans u make the best movies and the best music...but when it comes to top gear....man u have no chance at all

  • I liked this video because i feel sorry for them,I mean 1,390 likes, 5,708 dislikes,that's hard core.I bet that they are crying in the office...:)

  • why do we need this program in the u.k, most blokes in the uk hate american humour, it will not be watched by the masses at all.

  • @Skiddz08

    Im american, and I enjoy the humor that clarkson, hammond, and may have way more than these stupid morons who think they are car connoisseurs.

    If a person has watched the original top gear than they will have nothing to like better in this horrible re-creation.

  • Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa top gear usa is coming... Waaaaaaaaaa

  • topgear uk rocks but topgear USA sucks

  • I have seen 5 or 6 of the top gear USA episodes and all of them were .... GHASTLY. I mean . . . freaking SHITE, man .. at first I thought it was just a joke, but then i realised, wait ... these people are americans! Now it all makes sense....

  • @EzioAltair76 best comment ever

  • Awfulawfulawfulawfulawful none of the episodes are funny, they copy everything from the UK version the list is endless of how DIABOLICAL the US show really is. Get the US top gear off BBC Three ASAP before they embarrass them selves any harder... And the cast are just so cheesy and cringe worthy and AWFUL

  • Enough with the whining and bitching already.

  • theres no car they dont like they obviously are very inexperienced

  • I tried watch top gear america, don't like it!! They are not funny in my opinon. I am top gear uk all the way. Although there is one thing about the original that anoys me a little. How come they always rip on american cars?!?!? American cars are designed for our open roads over here and europeon cars are designed for there roads. I happen to love both. other than that uk version rules!!

  • im american and this sucks balls

  • Im American and this is embracing 

  • read spicecheck.blogspot.com

  • I am an American, and I feel that Top Gear USA sucks ASS!

  • uk version all da way y do we need a yank version dat no 1 cares about

  • UK one is the best

  • RUBBISH. it just is

  • Why? It's rubbish.

  • look at the dislikes lol

  • Why is there a fat guy...with a beard?!?!

  • @xgonzalez90 top gear USA

  • @kaddidlehoppers i love how you only have one thiing that we've copied of you is one of the shittest shows of all times + the yanks have copied more from us than we have of you

  • Who the fuck would watch Top Gear USA? Top Gear UK FTW

  • UK version 100% better!!

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • i think all the other versions of top gear are superfluous. u.k. top gear is all one really needs.

  • no this isnt right, i hope the BBC are getting money for this.

  • Why must almost every show from other Countries gotta be turned into American shows? This just seems dreadful to watch. The UK version is 100% much more better!

  • @SportBikeDudeRocks . I agree, but a lot of other countries got there version before the US got its version of top gear. Don't matter. Top Gear America sucks. The original is the only good one!!! I wish I had BBC so I could watch top gear UK

  • I love this way more then the UK version

  • You know I don't really mind American Top Gear. They may not have the chemistry or character of Hammond, May, and Clarkson, but they still have fun. I know we're all so comfortable and familiar with the British team, but I have a feeling that these guys will come into their own soon enough.

  • @KBear43rd I am 100% sure that you are American, cause I see that stupid exuse all the time. Please, fot God's Sake, BAN TOP GEAR UK IN THE US!

  • They just took all of the UK challenges and filmed them again in a more action-american-shitty way!

  • I think the car that repents America perfectly is the F-150 Raptor.

  • notice they didnt feature the 2012 Gtr which is faster then most of the cars they review. why?

  • yeh i dont see brits being happy with this comin on their television mainly cuz they already have a better a version of this show

  • top gear usa is complete trash, my puppy knows more about cars than these fools, there is only 1 Top Gear.

  • They made it crap on purpose, it's obvious.

  • Yes, yes, every time I watch it does kinda make me feel as if they're copying the originals version (well they are tbh) but it is actually really good.., and that's coming from an English person! There's so something exciting and addictive about it which makes me want more and I hope they keep releasing more. But it's missing something the English version has but, on the other hand, the British version is missing something which this has. It's really good and worth a try.

  • Not worth it I watched 2 min of the USA version, stopped completely. It's missing some of the things that made top gear what it is today.

  • Sucks....No stig and the presenters are dickheads

  • im born and raised in america and and us top gear is for wankas and tossers lol, uk top gear ftw

  • top gear uk is the best!! top gear USA sucks!

  • Top gear USA, is good, god no!

  • us top gear sucks

  • I am an American, I love Top Gear UK, and I hate Top Gear USA.

  • theres no clarkson no hamster and no captain slow...ps... the monty python humour...says it all really and im not a usa hater just the show sucks compared to the uk original..peace^^

  • @deubie0211

    +10000000000000000000000. I agree!! I am not a usa hater either ( i am a citizen of the us)

  • Let's race a car against a helicopter.

    Let's race a car when its filled up with water.

    Let's race a car against a skydiver.

    Let's race a car against a motor boat.

    Let's race a car down a ski slope.

    Its good to know that they made this show origional and didn't in any way copy the content of UK top gear.

    My computer is lagging on this vid. Even It realises how **** this is.

  • @at mcgyver920 thats not actually true and its very stereotypical -_-

  • I don't see why you guys hate so much, shit its TOP GEAR! They're both awesome!

  • @MegaHolymoly There's 99% chanse that you're American.

  • @MacGyver920 Yes, so what?

  • @MegaHolymoly That's why you like both versions. You Americans are all the same.

  • @MacGyver920 What does American have to do with the versions I like? Lol

  • @MegaHolymoly You are all the same. Normally you hate all things that are European, and love everything else. You Americans say the same thing: ''Both verisons are best'', ''Top Gear UK is best, but Top Gear USA isn't bad at all'', and stuff like that.

  • @MacGyver920 Oh you European's, get off your high horse, you're no better than anybody else. I was just saying, they're both great nothing wrong with either of them. I enjoy them both. Like I said, that has nothing to do with where I'm from.

  • @MegaHolymoly Yes, it has. Cause I've seen the exact same comments billions of times, and everybody who post it is American.

  • @MacGyver920 You seem like you dislike Americans? If you want to play that game then we can (;

  • @MegaHolymoly Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! You seem like you're proud of your country ruining British TV shows. Anyways, there are only two things I don't like about you American.

    1. Your car culture.

    2. The fact that you all hate Europe, because you think we hate you, even though the reality couldn't be further from the truth.

  • @MacGyver920 If you don't like the show then simply don't watch it..? I'll still watch both of them because I enjoy them both! Also, I don't hate Europe, I hope to come there one day. YOU seem like the one with issues against the US.. And! Our car culture? I don't understand that one. You seem to have a problem with stereotyping!

  • @MegaHolymoly You mainly drive American and Japanese/Asian cars bcause you all hate Europe. Everything that isn't European, you'll agree with. That's why European videos on YouTube, hardly get any views at all, while videos from places outside Europe, gets millions, even thoug it's the same thing!

  • @MacGyver920 You've never been to America have you? We have plenty of Euro cars. I'd driven both an e36 m3, e36 325i, and a sl 500 and they're fine cars. I do love me some jap cars though. Owned a Prelude, G35, 240sx s14, and currently a ap1 s2000. We don't hate you guys. You guys have an awesome show. We loved it so much we made a US version of your own show.

  • @MegaHolymoly I know that you stupid imbecile. And it's complete GARBAGE!

  • @MacGyver920 You're giving Europeans a bad name. Lol Later bro!

  • @MegaHolymoly Sure.

  • @MacGyver920

    The Office is pretty good!! 

  • @asteinman1 Just for saying my opinon on this show and on you Americans, you have been wasting time telling me off, writing 10 comments per minute, which I don't even recieve. Haha.

  • @MacGyver920 Um I was not really telling you off. Just trying to figure out why you have so much hate for me and other people you don't even know. You have not been really reading or understanding anything I wrote. If you had you would see that I love british people, tv and comedy. My women is British!! I said that I don't like the American version of this show. Love the British version!! You have the right to your opinion and I never said you did not.

  • continued from ^^^ However you don't have to be mean and hatefull to other people. Oh yea you say you don't receive my comments. Well you had been replying to alot of them so that is a lie right there. If I am wasting my time then you are two. You replyed to all mine and any other "american" on this video! However you are right it is a waste of time to try and open your eyes. You are so full of hate and will never change. I am going to use the block option on here so I don't have...

  • continued.....to deal with your anger and hate any more. So you can have the last word if you want (you seem to like that anyway). I have no hard feelings against you and don't hate you. In fact I hope you have a great life my friend and only wish the best for you!!!

  • @asteinman1 So why are you writing me STUPID comments?

  • @MacGyver920

    I am from America. I think i made it clear that I don't like the us version. I don't base what I like on where it comes from!!! There are things I like from the UK, Germany, Italy, Japan and the yes the US. On the flipside there are things I don't like from there. Stop with the hate already!!

  • @MacGyver920

    You know as i read further down these comments I am starting to see you are a bigot towards Americans!! I don't like the us version of top gear. I don't think that I have hated or said I hated anything European. mega Holmoly has the right to his opinon on what he likes and does not like about top gear. I love the UK version. The only one I will watch. Why do you got to hate on Americans? I don't hate you.

  • @MacGyver920

    What is that suppose to mean MacGyver920? Us Americans are all the same? I don't like top gear US and he does. Do you not like Americans or something? What did I ever do to you?!?!

  • @asteinman1 No, in some cases, I don't like you Americans, cause you won't let people have other opinions, and trust me, I have experience.

  • @MacGyver920

    Hey i am 100% American. I can't stand the US version, lol. UK version all the way!!

  • top gear usa isnt child friendly unlike top gear uk

  • These presenters are boring. IMO for US fans just watch one of the many Top Gear UK episodes set in the USA rather than this

  • omg i began to earn 600$ p day time merely couple weeks ago

    my entire life is definitely completly changed at this point, I've got every thing

    I always planned, you can aquire too, check -»

  • Comment removed

  • やっぱ本家のほうかいいな

  • I love how some of the Brits are like "Americans copy everything!" Didn't you fucking copy Law and Order from us? And don't we fucking invent pretty much everything on the whole god damn planet?  So fucking shut the hell up and stop bitching. Go buy a caravan assholes.

  • @kaddidlehoppers You're a typical American, and you're the reason why British TV should be banned in the US. We know all of you hate Europe, and everything that is European, so why don't you just fuck off? And btw, you say you invented pretty much everything on the planet, but you don't know who fucking invented you.

  • ^^^^^ Here we go again :(

  • oh yea and where do you get "americans hate everything european"? After reading most of these comments, that most Americans do not like the US version and prefer the UK version. You base your off what a few people on youtube say and genralize as all Americans. Also up to this point here and I'm done reading (going to bed) I have not seen anyone hate on Europe. Seems like you are reading into than what is there.MegaHolyMoly did not say anything bad about Europe and you call him names.

  • WELCOME TO TAAAAAAAP GEAR LMFAO!!!!UK THE ONLY ONE TOP GEAR!!!!!!

  • if you think it is rubbish, you havent seen Top Gear Russia)

  • what is next?

    top gear australia on BBC eleven and top gear Korea on BBC thirty three?

  • Top gear without jezza is like a ham sandwich without the ham, i hate how Americans steal our ideas like total wipeout, americas got ta

  • @celv1 Total Wipeout was in the USA before the UK, under the name "Wipeout".

  • @gamerneek It wasn't, Wipeout was brought out in 2008, but total wipeout was expose to be out in 2008, before wipeout (Same creators) but the UK Version had to be postponed to to some technical difficulties.

    Yes, Wipeout aired first but Total wipeout was put in production first.

  • @celv1 Ninja Warrior came out before any either of them, and is still better.

  • i have seen a few of the first episodes and i have to say the show got a bit better as it progressed but it will never be as good as the uk version

  • whenever top gear usa comes on i just substitute their voices for jeremy clarkson an richard hammond. james may is just an illusion

  • Finally you people get to see why Top Gear usa is just as good as Top Gear uk

    its better in the sence that it dosent lnsult entire groups of people just for cheap laughs it does review cars that poeple like and buy

    they do review supercars but they also test and review every other type of vhiecle not just high price P.O.S. super cars

    the reason i dnt like top gear uk is bc jeremy is an idiot

    for 1 simple reason...

  • Good, not as good as top gear UK though

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GO AWAY!!!

  • Top Gear without Clarkson doesn't work.

  • @NottinghamForest22 Without Clarkson,Hammond and May doesn't work.*

  • Top Gear USA isn't terrible, they followed a similar but not identicle formula. However I found they did far too much trying to do crazy stuff and far too little reviewing super cars and just awesome cars.

  • WTF?!?!? EVERYTHING IS COPIED!

    MAKE SOMETHING NEW AMERICA!

  • @iownall12able the smoking tire on youtube is a very very good alternative to the god awful TG US! best US car show! check it out!

  • Looks ok. But, Top Gear UK is the way to go!

  • They had to make top gear USA.otherwise it's not fair on the people who don't get any of Top gear's humor/references (75% of America).

  • @EugeneCamilleri

    Most of my friends, family and I get the humor and I am American.

  • Um, no. just, no

  • There's only one way to settle this, Top Gear UK needs to make another vs. Double Decker Cars, 3 on 3 drag race, Football(Soccer) challenge, Rally Race having the UK Stig(James) with either Jeremy or Richard vs. American Stig with either one of their presenters, etc.

    GO TOP GEAR UK!

  • Why can't we just export the UK Top Gear to America instead of them having to have their own show with their own presenters? Can someone explain? Do they not get the British humour or something?

  • @AntonioRepiso They do get Top Gear over there from the UK, to be honest I dont know why everything in America that has been imported from the UK ends up having to have an American version.

  • @AntonioRepiso

    I WANT THIS. TOP GEAR USA FUCKING BLOWS AND I LIVE IN CANADA.

  • @AntonioRepiso No, we get the British humor. I personally like the English version of Top Gear better, but at least we are trying. If you give it couple of years, it might get better. Might, that is.........

  • @AntonioRepiso Yeah Top Gear UK could get a bigger budget! Americans seem not to do good in a car show. I'm Dutch and I think British humor is way better than American or Dutch humor.

  • @AntonioRepiso i think regular top gear is hilarious i dont really know why not, the only channel it comes on that i have is bbc america

  • @AntonioRepiso no we don't

  • @lazyG007 hard luck

  • It did grow on me, but I have forgotten about tg-usa by now. They copied too many individual UK episodes. They may be doing original ideas now, but who cares?

  • Replace Rutger with David Hasselhof!

  • We don't want it, you can have it back...Serious. The presenters have no character, its not funny or witty...And above all: you can tell is comes from a country with entirely advert funded programming. UK top gear criticises cars to the limit, whether Asian, European, or American. US top gets a pick up truck and conveniently its 'faultless,' how much was the cheque from Ford guys? Top Gear has always been about freedom of speech, this strangles that. P.S I'm not simply taking a dig at the US.

  • This is great I don't get why everyone is so angry

  • yes i'm here to join in saying the usa top gear is totally pointless and shit, no one can match the hamster, may and clarkson as presenters, you silly americans, the same with balls steel australia are trying to be as funny as us!

  • It just isn't top gear without Jeremy Clarkson. American top gear is just fail.

  • Pretty much the exact same as the UK, exept less comedy and more shouting and swearing. Please BBC, Don't try and replicate classic shows in other countries and then export them back over to Britain.

  • I wanna watch this cos ive heard its shit XD

  • No please

  • Might as well put Top Gear Korea.

  • as an American Top Gear UK fan, I would like to apologize that you will have to put up with this bull@#$% polluting your televisions. Long live Top Gear UK.

  • Top Gear USA is awful, wooden presenters and no humour.
