TOP GEAR USA season 3 - who knows someting? FAST CARS & FUN

Apparently, Season 2 only just finished at the beginning of April. So a Season 3 isn't guaranteed (As far as I know).
 
I watched a few episodes of season 1, while I thought that it was ok it was a little lacking compared to the UK version. I think that most of the overseas copies of Top Gear try to hard to copy the UK version rather than making the show their own, such as coping the same challenges as the UK version. My other personal gripe with the Top Gear clones is that they all seem to include at least one pro race driver as a presenter which to me seems to miss the point of 3 guys, who are not race drivers by profession, mucking around in cars like the UK version.
 
I thought season 2 was a marked improvement over season 1. The presenters seem to be more naturally annoying eachother and genuinely enjoying the hardships 1 or 2 go through each show.
Ignore that they're just repeating challenges which have been repeated on the uk show a few times in various guises already and season 3, when/if it goes ahead, should be better still. It's a shame they had to rename the siarpc to big star small car but they'd have been sued 7 ways to sunday if they claimed that 1 particular car was reasonably priced without listing every other alternative car in the same price bracket at the end of the segment each week.
We're just so used to the show we have now that we forget it took some time for the "magic" of 3 chaps having a giggle and getting paid for it to emerge.
 
Just seen 2 epsidoes (1,2) from season 3 top gear usa. Pretty good. 1 challange they had 18 whiller loaded with burning barbeque's and about 10 kg of fireworks laying near by. Then drove it through town.

There's no such thing as Top Gear US Season 3.

The "Season 3" you're referring to is an error by 'the scene'.

S03E03 > S02E11 - 28/2/12 - Dangerous Car
S03E04 > S02E12 - 06/3/12 - Continental Divide

that is great asim. thanks
 
I can actually watch the US version unlike the US version of just about everything else. They do a lot more of the 3 old car type challenges which were IMO always the best part of the UK show.

asim do you know when episdoe 9 is aired? ta
 
Tbh that seems to be the way when UK shows are re-done, the first season is always utter rubbish as they are trying too hard to mimic the original, whereas by the second season the cast & crew have fallen into their own rhythm and make a half-decent show - The Office and Top Gear being prime examples.
