My $0.02.....
If this TG were to be a replacement for the Clarkson/May/Hammond TG, then I would be ready to throw fists. However, because I can still get the original online, and on BBCAmerica, I'm really not that upset about it like so many TG fans are. And I've been a HUGE fan of the original for many, many years.
I think they could correct this version with a few small tweaks:
- Keep Tanner Faust and get rid of the other two fools. They have less than zero automotive credibility. And I don't care about any resume that includes failed NASCAR shows (bearded guy)
- fix the music. British TG has great music. Why must US TG induce so much pain to the ears?
- Give the Stig back his proper introductions. Some say...
The Tanner Foust segment where he drove the Ford Raptor was actually quite TG-worthy. A blatant copy of stunts from UK, but still not bad. Make more like that with hosts that know how to drive, and I'm sold. Almost.
