CONTAINS SPOILERS

IMO the american version feels more scripted. I know th eUK version is all scripted as well, but the US one hides it poorly, although they are trying to make the personalities work. The NY tough guy appeals to me most, the nerd comes across more like a Dad, and the young guy just comes across as cocky. Meh.

The show didn't feel like a durability comparison of the three cars though. They should have cut the wires to the Honda's fan if they wanted a fair test. Of course, with a 0 clearance engine, that would have put a quick end to the test.

The final piece was more about what the viscosity of different alternative lubricants is than a test of engine reliability. The end result would have been the same alternative oil winning no matter what car they put it in.

I believe in the UK and in AUS with public subsidized TV they don't have advertisers to offend so they can be more raunchy and politically incorrect . The British sense of humor is far better IMHO . The U.S. is overly sensitized I think . Mr Clarkson would have been asked to quit this year if it was in the US. UK Top Gear is the best period . I've watched most US ones and they try . The chemistry just ain't there . The AUS version isn't as bad .
