Top Gear US

Just a quick poll/thoughts on it.

What do you think about the new Top Gear here in the US? Personally, I kind of had to force myself to sit through the first couple, but since the GM challenge I've started to really like them. I just think there is a lot of things that they could do here that the boys over in GB just can't do here. I have a ton of ideas of things they could do, but it would take a while to list them (I'd also have to think of them :D ) I have some pretty high hopes for it.

Also about the presenters. I for some reason or other love Rutledge even with that stupid name. He just comes across as the most interested person in the whole show on what he's doing. Not a big fan of Adam, but he's pretty good during the challenges and I'm starting to like him more. Tanner is kind of boring and just needs work on his presentation for everything. The biggest thing they need to do is loosen up and start ribbing on each other and interact with the audience a little more.

The show could also use a little bit of a different format. It should be
odd week 1, 3, 5 etc. Challenge, review/test, (news? but they seem to have cut that out) BSSC, challenge pt 2. and even week 2, 4, 6 power test, car review, BSSC, used car/slight cocking about. And maybe every 2 seasons do an epic adventure. What I really miss is the news. There are a lot of interesting things that are going on with the car industry over here that I think could be covered and this would give the presenters a chance to interact with the audience a little more. It shows promise, but it mostly needs more work and time to get it right.

Any thoughts?
