I wrote them off initially as well but they did improve....

I'm glad they're having another go at it.

While it doesn't come close to Top Gear UK, it wasn't THAT bad. It's not like there are any worthwhile car related shows on Sunday nights (or any other night, really) anyway. I watched the whole season and I'll be watching season 2 as well.

Sure fire way to improve the show significantly, replace Rutledge Wood with me

Tanner Foust is OK, and being a huge Rescue Me fan, I'm able to tolerate Adam Ferrara (Chief Needles).

Wasn't Mike Rowe supposed to be one of the trio. I think he would have made the show a lot funnier.

Adam Carolla's name was also attached to the show at one point. TG USA with Mike Rowe, Adam Carolla & Tommy Kendall (instead of Tanner Foust) would have been a great combo.

They need to get rid of the Stig on the US show. They just don't do it right. It was TGUK's original idea and they can't seem to pull it off (at least without making me cringe). And still no Matt Farah. Meh

Rutledge Wood was horrible. The presenters had no chemistry what so ever. Hopefully they watch the entire UK Top Gear series and get cues on how to be a "team".

Adam Corolla is a real car guy.

He has a nice stable and knows racing.

He would have been pretty good.

I have no clue how Rutledge Wood ever got a job on TV. The Stig's commentary would be better.

Rutledge Wood is fvcking horrible. Since when is NASCAR considering "racing"?

NASCAR has done nothing except ruin the Speed channel's coverage of more worthy events.

The entire problem with this show is they try to be funny - the UK guys are funny.
