Matt Farrah was actually in the audience. He was touching, or leaning, on the Dodge Viper ACR.

Quoted for truth. Top Gear isn't factual, it's car entertainment, something that is extremely hard to find here in America (excluding racing).

Yes. Even the UK version sucked.

So we just gotta give it time, a few seasons to warm up.

Yup, and I felt like the US show had a feel that it was one of those cheezy shows that reviews the cars and says how nice and fun they are to drive. Had a factual feel. Not even remotely as entertaining as top gear uk. These guys aren't even funny.

Well... that was kinda disappointing really. But lets remember that the first season or so of the original UK series was not that great either.

Stig needs to be listening to music. The stig looked kinda short.. Sheehan maybe?
