Why does Top Gear US

That is not exactly accurate. Not to mention our cars are not all that great when considering what other companies are doing.

this. they are more biased toward italian supercars if anything. how they love them ferraris //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Im a car guy.. and BBCs Top Gear has become my favorite show over the past few months. My DVR records every episode that airs, regardless if its new or not, and I have seen all of them at least once. I love the show.. it is keeping me entertained until my other favorite show comes back on in the summer, "Burn Notice"

I love how they show almost everything that happens to them when they have a race from point A to point B.. all of the mistakes that are made is hysterical. I just recently saw the episode where they used a tiny little car to pull a big trailer (I think they called it a caravan) and tried to go stay somewhere with a bunch of other people doing the same thing. It went terribly wrong for them.. started with a car crash, and ended up with their whole camper burning to the ground. lol

Ive only seen a few minutes of the american version. It is AWFUL. I cant even force myself to watch it.

I havent seen many of the UK episodes, but the main difference I see between the two is at least the UK version gave some facts, history, and real competition numbers. The US show races a car versus a dirk bike across off-road terrain, or a horse versus a ford mustang. Uh, not only boring, but proves absolutely nothing.

BBC does the same thing but in a more entertaining manner.

Im surprised the British TG gets american viewers at all. Most americans don't understand british humor so most if not all goes over their heads. I grew up watching BBC television every day, so i'm like the .00001% of americans...whom mostly are retards. I mean come on, republicans are considering a mormon fanatic as a presidential canidate? Nuff said.

Copy everything from the real top gear but do it much worse? And why do I keep watching this crap

the U.S. top gear isnt as good thats a given. But it is more relatable. For instance. I actually watch some of the celebs they bring on in the U.S. show. But in the U.K. one. I have skipped every single celeb. because I have no clue who they are.

Actually, MTV had one of their True Life shows about a couple of jersey shore girls long before the show that's on now. It was awful too, but it's just another instance of taking something and "amping it up, bro", americans love stupid.
