Ok, so, to give a quick review I have to say this. The American port of the show is definately not 100% the British version. They took clips and segments from the British show, reshot all the in-studio parts to be americanized, and took 90% of the character out of the show. Top Gear isnt the same without the original in-studio parts of the show, which fluidly connected each segment. This sort of sticks the past seasons in a blender and hit the on button.
Edit: Oh yeah, and the got rid of the widescreen and it also seems like they are speeding through the segments to keep up with american tv.
In conclusion, ill stick to downloading the REAL episodes from FinalGear.com
