Scottw330 posted:drat, you all are harsh on Evans. I thought the first episode was decent! It would never compare to Clarkson/Hammond/May, but I was definitely entertained and I'll watch again. Are you serious or just trolling? If you're serious then I gotta know what about Evans' presentation you actually enjoyed.

Just got around to watching this week's Top Gear USA episode and I gotta say, it was one of their best episodes yet. Really captured the 'ambitious but rubbish' spirit. Central challenge was finding a replacement vehicle for the US Postal Service with Rut using a Honda Element, Adam using a Lincoln hearse, and Tanner using a Mitsu 3000GT VR4 with a matching trailer. The 'Tanner drives a fast car' segment was him in a new Mustang GT350 racing against a bicycle courier; visually was really good but the sound mixing had Tanner praising the engine noise louder than the engine itself

In other good news, more longer Harris videos http://www.topgear.com/car-news/chris-harris-coming-topgearcom quote:“Obviously I’m thrilled to be making beautiful films like the F12tdf piece for the Top Gear television show,” says Chris, “but the longer-form, more detailed web films I’ve made with Neil Carey over the years remain my natural format, and broadcasting them through TG’s huge online audience is a dream come true.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:This Top Gear US was fantastic. Foust hooning around with that trailer demolishing everything had me laughing so hard. It was a lot like the Ambulance episode that UKTG did but it didnt feel like it was ripping them off. Rut mentioning that he used to own a Honda Element was one of the least surprising things ever too.

If Jordan wants to defend Evans based on the performance he's seen from Evans in upcoming Top Gear footage that hasn't aired yet that's fine. But it seems like the majority of the criticism towards Evans has been that he's a spastic, shouty, panderer, which seems quite fair and justified. Caught the most recent Top Gear US, thought it was a bit of a miss. Concept sounded ok on paper; "500ish HP AWD convertibles in the winter" but the execution of the challenges just fell flat, especially the final rodeo challenge. Episode 10 looks really promising "Tanner, Adam and Rutledge head to Cuba, where they test and modify three classic American cars; the guys attempt to make history by competing in a government-sanctioned drag race." Really hope that one isn't a let-down

Yeah, definite improvement and I hope they stick with the review format of Harris with the supercars and Reid with the more regular vehicle reviews.

Chris Knight posted:Evans was very pleased at how clever his naughty lap time board addition was. And they didn't carry over the previous naughty laps like Schumacher's FXX or the Caparo T1 felt a bit odd

Top Gear US was pretty good this week, but drat, the way that History Channel keeps doing the pre/post commercial clips is terrible; spoiled who won the challenge

gently caress, that really sucks, this season has been really good. Hopefully another network can pick it up

The only problem with Velocity would be the potential for creative control being compromised due to network pressure from sponsors/advertisers being mainly car companies

The cinematography for the Mustang review was spectacularly beautiful. I'd put that on there on par (or even better) than the V12 Vantage review

I get that they wanted the Aston to come off sounding better than the Merc, but felt like cheating to use the S63 instead of the turbo V12 powered S65 AMG coupe

Deteriorata posted:There is no "turbo lag" in it, there's just lack of boost if you let the RPMs drop too low. If you want instant throttle response, stay in a lower gear to keep the revs up. So there's turbo lag then.
