First of all you guys realize TG America is produced by the TG UK company, they have been trying to get an American version going here for a few years now.
However, I do agree that it felt flat and forced. The chemistry between the hosts isn't there. Maybe the chemistry will develop over time. Originally this version was supposed to have Adam Carrola as 1 of the host, I think he may have helped. I think a big part of it will be their ability to ad lib. Also how much criticism will they be aloud to dish out? They need advertising dollars that, at times, will come from the car companies loaning them cars to test. ( Porsche ) They were in love with all the cars they tested with the exception of the Suzuki. Come on, drive the Lamborghini then get out and tell me why I shouldn't spend part of my millions buying it.( hey, you never know when you might win the lotto. )
You can tell the American hosts are novices to top end cars they drool too much. They need an air of snobbery that says "that's fine but I know there is better so I'll hold onto my money. "
I know it was only one episode but, like cars, you never buy the first model year, you wait for the kinks to get worked out.
I'll probably watch it anyways.
