That new car show with the fat hipster...

udman · 12-13-2010, 12:49 PM

So we are a few episodes in and just wondering what you all think of it so far?

Losing interest quickly. I keep trying to like it, but:
Tanner doesn't have the personality to carry his segments
Ok, none of them do
The guest interviews have been hard to watch
They all seem like they've been given a niche to fit that mimicks the UK version, rather than being themselves, so they come across disingenuous... or as bad actors
I could go on, but there's really no need.

Curious to see what other's opinions are.

First two episodes were crappy copies of what a US marketing team thinks are good Top Gear UK episodes.

Haven't watched the latest one yet.

The cast is terrible. None of them are remotely funny and it's all completely scripted.

This minus Tanner who at least adds driving creditability.

Tanner sucks cock with the rest of them. The show is terrible. None of this cast should of made it on to the show.

Blows the brownstar, like all US auto/bike journalism in general.

He has no creditability. Who give a shit about drifting.
