Top Gear USA

Last night saw the first episode of Top Gear USA. In episode one of season one there’s a battle between two snakes as Top Gear USA hosts Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust give the soon to be replaced Dodge Viper SRT a fitting send off by pitting it against a Cobra attack helicopter through the streets of Griffin, Georgia.

As seen in the trailers last week Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust settle which is the best Lamborghini ever, in a 180 mile an hour desert drag race. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin takes to the Top Gear USA test track.

The next episode airs next Sunday 10pm PST at the History channel.

  1. oh i watched this. and i loved it! it wasnt a failure like top gear australia. and it was actually better than the last 4 seasons of top gear UK. absolutely brilliant! leave it to the americans to do it right

  2. better than the last 4 seasons of top gear UK? HAHAHAHAHA are you kidding me… you can be proud, but lets not make ourselves look ignorant now..

  3. Complete and utter bollocks

    took all the best bit of UK top gear, raped them, added shit american cars and annoying fat americans and made the worst TV ever.

    Well done amerifags

  4. I feel like it was watchable but nothing special. Also the first car being a Viper was nonsense. Hosts aren’t witty like on Top Gear UK either.

  5. I agree with Don watchable but not special. The videography was great but Foust is too geeky(he can drive though) and the other hosts just didn’t have the creative/funny metaphors

  6. it was sooo terrible … the filming was terrible and so was the audio … no one can do as good as jeremy, richard and james …. i love the anti climactic chopper part haha ….. Failure

  7. it is TOP GEAR US, and it feels like US. Exactly the same diference you can feel between european and american cars… Nice but uncool..

  8. hahaha Britain you mad? The first episode was so sick, having a viper and a cobra just running around a closed off town, that’s definitely on UK’s level. I’m laughing at all the little crying UK bitches, you mad kids you mad?

  9. Dillon: they wouldnt do it now in the uk version becuase they have already done :-)D and waaayyy better :-D snipers shooting porsche (its a realy car compared to your crap called viper) :-D those are fact ..your argumets are just stupid bullshit (you are kid right? 15-16yr, probably chasing after boys ? dont be sad because it wont get any better ..you just need to accept it .-D us top gear better then british ?? CRAZY IDEA (im not british btw)

  10. i cant see the vid anymore although from the trailers i can tell that i can completely agree with George,i knew american that american tv really sucks but how did they manage to ruin a tg?actually they never did because this is crap,not tg.and dillon go annoy other people with your bullshit pls,this is supposed to be a good site.

  11. I was actually pleasently surprised with the show. I mean, you can’t expect these guys to have the charisma that the UK team has. Its obviously going to take time for them to get settled and build their characters. Also, stop comparing it to Top Gear UK, there will never be any Top Gear out there better than that. Its the original, YOU CAN NEVER top Jeremy, Richard, and James. So just take it for what it is, and if you dont like it..well then dont watch the show.

  12. First episode was merely ok. Camera work and editing has to drastically improve as does the commentary, especially behind the wheel. Clarkson does that so right where the U.S. hosts don’t quite get it right (just yet). Story line has to be believable too and the “two snakes” story just didn’t cut it, nor did the Lambo story. I’m willing to give them time however, as I know things will improve. Go back and watch the first season of Top Gear UK. Hrm…

    With that said, Tanner could outdrive any of the UK posers. Sure they’re witty and can banter but Tanner can actually drive. He needs to loose the whole midwestern puritan vibe. Sometimes I think he never actually swears or kisses on the first date.
