I am with y'all on that.
They absolutely carbon copied the BBC show but forgot that:
a) we all had seen the exact same stunts in BBC's TopGear already, so why do exactly the same?
b) The BBC TopGear lives 50% on the absolute dead-pan delivery of British dry humor
c) The US show does not have Jeremy Clarkson, who is a total a**hole but mysteriously still likeable
d) Overall the chemistry between the 3 US guys doesn't work at all, and the BBC show is all based on this chemistry

So I am looking forward to Season 16 of the real TopGear
