and

Any Opinions?

They are both pretty much the same thing, except The Car Show has bigger names for their cast.

I've got Season Passes set up for both on my Tivo, so we will see. Haven't caught The Car Show yet. Top Gear had a rough start but got better each episode. Season Finale was great.

So far TGUS is much better. Don't like all the studio talk/bad jokes on TCS.

I only like 2 of 4 hosts on TCS (like Salley, but not on this show, don't like Dan).

Like about 2.5 of 3 on TGUS (Don't find Adam that funny, but has gotten better).

I think both suffer from 2 things, being compared to TGUK and being too short, 40-45 mins isn't enough to do challenges/tests properly along with everything else.

I find Top Gear a little hard to watch at times for the reasons mentioned above. The interviews, and all the group chat get very redundant and tend to stray off the subject of the show. As long as the Car Shows keeps pumping fresh out fresh air I'll be watching every episode start to finish. On another note, both Rutledge Tanner Foust have really made names for themselves over the years, it's kind of cool to have watched their rise.

My vote goes to The Car Show.

Havent caught TGUS, but the car show is good. I for one like adam's humor.
