+153 Even though the original Top Gear is a complete success, the American version is just going to be bad. I mean, which three American guys can capture the essence of Clarkson, Hammond and May, amirite?

For once America, learn from your mistakes, ie Kath and Kim, Skins etc. Hammond, Clarkson and May are too awesome.

It's premiering in January on MTV I think. It looks kind of bad, but I'm not going to judge it until I see more than one episode. It's going to have a different plot except for the first and one other episode.

What the fuck does nationality have to do with the ability to act?

Top Gear isn't acting, it's a show about cars where 3 British men run around doing crazy things and generally behaving in a hilarious manner. The US cannot hope to capture that with 3 other random men.

exactly what you said. Top gear is awesome, did anyone see the christmas special last night? It was hilarious!

i seriously doubted the US could pull off top gear. having watched it though, they did a pretty good job. no, they could never replicate the atmosphere from the UK version, but it's still fun and the spirit is still there.
