Looks like they have a bigger budget than Top Gear America:

Looks like Top Gear Korea is better than the US version from just watching 2 minutes of a show. I'm glad to see that everyone was alright and the genuine concern of the TG host.

I watched the new UK episode last night and thought it was great, then noticed US had Season 3, so I thought 'what the hell' and watched that too. Honestly, the US version depresses me. It's so obvious how staged it is, the 'acting' is awkward but only outdone by the crowd - seriously, have you ever looked at the people standing behind the presenters? RANDOMS.

I will however be the first to say that their 'videos' are fairly well produced. The Alaska trip was funny, realistic, and really quite impressive. The interviews and 'banter' however is so incredibly awkward.

I love the UK version, I haven't watched but one episode of the us version and it was pretty terrible, that was back in season 1... Maybe it has changed?

Nothing will be better than the UK version. Top Gear America just rips off challenges and ideas from the UK. Still watch it though. Better than shows like Jersey Shore.

I had to stop watching this season's American Top Gear... it's just too predictable. Crazy conquest between the 3 and imagine that... Tanner wins and gets to do the final challenge. The Alaskan trip was the only episode worth watching. Honestly if you want hilarious banter and off the wall challenges watch Motor Trend's Road Kill series.
