Default Top Gear USA

Whatever happened to the US version of Top Gear? I saw some publicity shots on TGUK website and have yet to hear/see anything about it.

It was just a rehash of the previous season - with less anti-US words and a more subdued audience.

I saw one - it was at a stupid time on a non-car channel and the same thing all the TG fans had already seen.

Thats because folks are expecting a repackage of every other 20 second sound byte "fake cool" lifestyle show that is already on TV.

Well, U.S. of American Top Gear sucked. But what sucks more is the fact that we hardly get REAL Top Gear on TV. Hence - fast track membership.
