I'm all caught up with all the UK seasons (14 finished and 15 is coming in the summer right?). I try to watch the episodes the day it comes out in the UK, although that is a bit hard here in the states.
It's not as big as it is in the UK I'm sure, but it has to be a pretty big thing since BBC America shows Top Gear and they were considering having an American version of it (got canceled for some reason).
A lot of that show is scripted for humor and appealing to Europeans (especially the British). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since American shows try to make America look great too, but it's the cause of some of the hatred and punishing reviews that are put out.
Jeremy isn't happy with any Porsche at this point other than the 944. According to him:
The 911 hasn't changed and is ugly
The Boxster looks like it was lazily designed
The Cayman is just a filler for a gap in the market
The Cayenne is the ugliest SUV ever
The Panamera looks like an Austin Maxi
And he prefers Ferrari because they have "soul" (what I consider a word car journalists use when they have to justify their personal liking of one car over the other).
