Uk version. If your an avid watcher of the original then you'll notice how much they blatantly copied it in the us version.

And how much they make fun of the US version.

UK top gear all the way. and the US top gear is made to copy the UK because its supposed to be the same top gear "format" as UK. Just like the Australian top gear is exactly the same as the UK version they just test a lot of Australian cars and have funnier ascents. For me the US version doesn't work because there is no feeling that the guys all know one another. The UK version, its obvious they are friends. They are always cracking jokes and having fun.

UK Top Gear - I could watch it almost endlessly (and at times, have).
US Top Gear - I stopped watching after the third episode, and I don't miss it at all. Tanner's a douche, the fat guy knows nothing about cars and isn't funny, and Adam Ferrara just doesn't belong on a car show.

You can tell that Clarkson, Hammond, and May are legitimate car guys, and just love cars whether the cameras are there or not. The US guys are just making a TV show.

Most of todays shows are stolen from the uk, top gear, the office, stories of the ER, etc. Anyway i like both versions and have laughed my *** off at both, but i enjoy just about every car show besides NASCAR and its getting harder to watch pinks cus rich is an idiot.

The Car Show is to some degree copying the UK Topgear.

I will watch them, because there is little else I am interested in that comes on TV, but I had rather watch the UK version. Clarkson is an absolute jerk, and he gets treated like one. I love that.



At the same time, he doesn't put up with all the "green" people and their crap. He calls them out.
