    I love Adam Corrolla... but he needs to take it down a notch. The first episode was pretty decent.

    That was my take, it's better than the total shit of Top Gear US, no where near as good as TG UK.

    I found Corolla annoying as hell, and trying way too hard to be funny or witty and failing utterly at both.

    I'd watch the next session if it's on, but not going out of my way to find it. I'd be surprised if it lasts two seasons.

    TG is the only GREAT car show (350 Million viewers), and nothing can match it.

    First episode failed to impress me, but we'll give it another shot...

    '05 Pitster Pro 125 - Pitbike madness

    Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

    I think thats kinda the point...

    I think its ok, I guess Im in the minority but the latter episodes of TGUS are much better. IMO they are better than this show. I like whats his name, the vlogger guy but Corrola just seems to be trying to hard to be Clarkson.

    I think Carolla is just being the same guy he was on The Man Show. He seems to be the same guy I've seen him on any program he's been on.

    that's certainly possible. He has his own style and I'm sure it's not for everyone.

    Like Conan O'Brian, I just don't see how people find him funny.
