The "American" Top Gear

So I have caught a couple of episodes of the "American" Top Gear that is on the History Channel Sundays.

It is worth watching, however I enjoy the UK version better. Maybe it is because they have done some of the same stunts and such as the UK version, so the excitement is less.

I guess we have to let England have one thing on us.

Yes, the UK version of Top Gear is better, way better actually. I personally think it is the hosts that makes the difference. The BBC2 has Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond for their Top Gear; they are some of the funniest people I know of.
The BBC2 has made some huge fortune through their Top Gear show. Most of the automotive companies in the world have been throwing millions and millions of dollars to this show in order to advertise their automobiles. Even though sometimes the hosts make so much fun out of their cars, but still, people just love watching show.
As long as there are more and more people watching the show, then it is always a brilliant way to market the products.
