Well I was expecting some kind of overdramatic blowup of the Pinto.  Ask anyone about a Pinto and that subject always comes up.  I agree that the Top Gear UK is way better and has a huge filming budget.  They actually have several Top Gears in other countries ie. Germany, Australia, US.  As usual, you can't beat the original.  There were rumors that the first season of Top Gear USA would be the last and I guess that wasn't so.  At least they don't have Adam Corolla from The Car Show.
