Default The Car Show

Anybody else watching this? I've watched a couple episodes and WANT to like it, but I'm just not there yet. At least it's not a carbon copy of a successful British show so you don't feel like you're watching a rip-off with a lesser cast.

I'll give it a few more episodes to see if it grows on me, just wondered if anyone else here was watching and what you think of it.

Watched part of an episode and while it was kind of interesting, I never went back to it after the commercial..

I've only seen one episode so far, but I goota give it at least one more before I bail.
I still can't get into the American version of Top Gear. I gave it another shot the other day, and it still sucks.

It made my DVR list for my 4:30 am coffee and crawl to being awake. The 2 episodes I have seen seemed very much like the Brit show but the personalities are more distinct than the other copy

I've watched every episode. I like everybody on the cast..... BUT Carolla. His voice is just sligtly annoying. I liked the bit about chicks driving sticks on last weeks episode. Two of them were fucking gorgeous.

I still like Fifth Gear and Top Gear better...

The show tries to attract the Nascar crowd who knows little about cars.

Didn't Carolla host the Top Gear that was supposed to be on NBC? I guess Speed thought this one would do better than the History Channel show.
