I think with time the US one will get better, the UK one was on for 22 seasons before they killed it, that's a long time to get the chemistry of the hosts right. I think Adam could be replaced with someone better, Chris Harris for example since he's the only good one from the new group of hosts.

this episode was awful, and is prime example of them failing.
The disconnect between them and a "pickup truck" was fantastically proving the point trying to be made that they cant compare.
Every farmer/redneck jeep/truck enthusiast i know abuses their tucks more than that its boring to watch. The foreigners just dont get it.

Driving cars or trucks I grew up with on their show is great, dreaming and armchair comparing cars that ill never own or care to own by someone who doesn't understand me or my culture then criticizes us for it does nothing for me.
Dont get me wrong its cool seeing new super cars, new luxury cars ect and reviews can be interesting.

Adam imo is the best host as well, just your average guy who loves cars. Funny genuine and doesn't have to act.

They were on 22 seasons and there was outrage when they were canned until they got picked back up, I think it's safe to say they got it pretty well lol. Different strokes, Different folks. To me reviews of cars we all have is pretty boring, because we already have them. Some people can take more poking fun at things than others, I can see how some people now a days couldn't handle that.

Yeah it's just like fast n loud fake soaps for guys. Lol. It seems the less knowledgeable "car" people really eat it up. They see it as real.

There were alot of long time shows with "outrage" the golden girls mash Johnny Carson ect.
Fast and furious has a larger following its a load of crap that idiots eat up and gets integrated into our culture.

Assuming you meant "don't" and not "do t", since when has Lansing had any culture to understand? An abundance of corrupt politicians, shit heads, and a high crime rate, sure. It's almost like someone took a scoop of some shithole like NY and dropped it in podunk MI and decided to make it the capitol. You might be the first person in history to use "Lansing" and "Culture" together.
