Default Fiesta on Top Gear

Anyone else see the Fiesta take the top spot on Top Gear? It was $500,000 rally car, but it was really cool. I believed they said 0-60 in 2.2 seconds, insane! Check it out if you haven't seen it.

TG USA is a disgrace to the original British TG. I have been watch British TG since series 6 so I am a little biased but I just dont think TG USA is nearly as good. Tanner Foust is great but he is the only good one. The big guy is terrible imho.

Lol watch season/series 1-3 of TG UK, a lot of the episodes weren't nearly as good as they were in season 6. I think they were on par with where TG US is right now.

I like the US version though the extra 18 minutes of air time per episode that the UK one has sure makes a difference in the amount of stuff they can pack into an episode. The US one is starting to come into its own, it will just take time. Season 2 has been a lot better than season 1.

After TG UK had the episode were they competed with the presenters from TG Australia, I am hoping they do one where the US presenters come over, I think that could be pretty entertaining.

Tanner's Fiesta is pretty sweet though. Talk about fast.

I wouldn't go so far to say that its a disgrace, US top gear is funny at points, but its not nearly as good as the UK original. And in my opinion I'm sick of seeing Fousts face everywhere. Hes been in what 2 or 3 different shows now? Not to mention all the other stuff that he does.
