    I agree. Today's episode was pretty good. The only thong I didn't like is the awkwardness of the bigger guy. My memory fails me for the sake of addressing his name.

    Rutledge? I think they're getting better about being on camera and developing chemistry but they've still got a ways to go. Overall I liked the episode though, they're definitely improving.

    It's getting better. But still unoriginal.

    Ford Raptor around the test track was awesome. I'd love one of those, but, being 40k, I'd probably be tentative about thrashing it. I think the US Stig is Tanner Foust's cohort on Supercar challenge or whatever his other show is called.

    I liked the Rapor as well. To be honest, it's a LOT of bang for the buck.

    I liked the third episode the best, and the latest (fourth) as a solid second. The Evo race was sweet in the second, but the rest of the episode was meh, the first episode was pretty lame as well. They're getting much better at narrating the on track stuff, which was my biggest complaint. The Raptor segment was sweet, and on track was some serious lulz.

    I agree, the third was definitely best so far. They've still got to get their act together so it doesnt seem so scripted.

    Good news though, new British Top Gear on the 21st and 26th!

    I actually didn't enjoy this episode. Sorry, but the raptor was ok, but it sucked around the test track lol, the low price car was almost as fast and has 1/4 the HP.

    Episode 3 was the best for me, I'd rank this one last.

    Taking it around the test track was a gag. If you're judging the Raptor based on the tarmac track performance, you missed the whole point of the episode. They took it on a Baja course which it excelled in, which coincidentally is what it was designed for.

    no it wasn't just the raptor on the test track, but also the paintball skit, the commentary, and host interaction. I really didn't find myself laughing at all like I usually do with most TG episodes.
