I think Buzz Aldrin as the first guest was a mistake.

Yes, he's an American hero. Absolutely. But for the first person in Big Star, Little car it really should've been Jay Leno or Matt Damon or Sarah Palin (lol) or something. I dunno.

But hey, here comes episode #2 Sunday. Lets see how it goes.

Thing is, theres all these things they need to work on, but I'm sure like 4 episodes have already been filmed. So its likey we wont see any improvements until the end of the first season.

I just saw the commercial for the second episode and it looks like a drifting episode; it seems drifting is all that matters for TGUSA so far. But as stated, we'll see how the next episode goes.

Well Tanner Foust does drift. But that isnt all he does. He did the X-games rally car stuff, he is a stunt car driver and i think he ran pikes peak as well.

Yep... and he definitely seems to care more about how well the car drifts than how fast around a track it is. That is part of it, since it adds fun to a car, but I just feel that he will be focusing on that more than anything. And when their big lambo comparison is how fast they can go in a straight mile.... well that is just sad.

The hosts have absolutely no chemistry, the whole show is bland and monotone, i didnt laugh once. The people are what make the show.

That is the final nail in the coffin for me!!!

All in all as much as I do love cars, and love Top Gear, I see no future in this version and at this time have no intention of watching it nor forsee any...sux

Completely disagree!

I am very happy to see marked improvement in this second episode. If they improve this much per show, it won't take long to become great.

For the dumber among us, I'm am saying it ain't great. But I think it will eventually be. I'm beyond sick of the negativity. Give them a freaking chance. You think it's easy to go up against a show like TGUK?

Nope. Not getting a ____ing contest with you. If you don't see it that's your loss.

Edit: LOL "p-i-s-s-i-n-g" is censored? Wow.

The blind guy stole the show, I don't remember what else happened. I think the ending of the show when the dog ____ed on the logo on stage says how he feels of the show lol.

The second episode wasn't too bad. I'll look forward to seeing how well the next episode goes since they'll be doing the cheap car segment.

the second episode was DEFINITELY an improvement... lets just keep our fingers crossed that it keeps improving, because it's got a long way to go..

however, i agree with whoever said it before, but it's got to be SOO tough going up against the original...

they definitely need to get rid of the comedian that can't even drive and prob. killed the clutch in that brand new 370z poor car
