Lol, the second episode this season was fantastic! The off road stuff was hugely entertaining and there were some genuinely funny parts as well. This show has finally become proper Top Gear. Certainly not up to the standard of the original, but by far the most entertaining American car show ever made IMO....

If you like good old restomod American muscle, you'll like this week's episode of TGUSA. I finally caught it on History's web site last night. The Mustang Tanner drove just had a perfect, PERFECT sound. I don't know how Ford consistently gets that V8/exhaust sound right, but they do.
The drag race at the end of the episode is worth waiting for. Without giving details....I'm sure Rut had to change his underpants after his run.

The 4wd episode wasn't bad, seemed like a bit of a re-hash of the previous one in the K5/Bronco/RamCharger episode though.
Still entertaining.

That odyssey is pretty damn awesome.
Reminds me of the orange drift element.

Is it just me, or has Top Gear USA gotten MUCH better?! I've watched the first three episodes of the latest season and they've been pretty good.

Agreed, it is better. Haven't seen the $500 race car episode yet.
The Rubicon was entertaining & looked like fun. Though I probably would've found a Cherokee over the 4Runner.
The beginning of the Euro v US episode was a bit slow, but those new cars
The opera singer was funny too.

The show got much better when they stopped copying Top Gear UK format with news and SIARPC segments, and just did challenges.

Nope, it's been on. Just buried on the History Channel at a weird time and day (9:00PM on Tuesdays).

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...S.%29_episodes , last episode (of season 5) was Oct 21, 2014 and season 6 just started on April 26, 2016.
Anyways, glad it's back.

I binge-watched all four new episodes this week. They've definitely gotten better and the chemistry is also much better than before. The long-format adventures of each episode really brings them together. I loved this weeks episode because the 3G CTS-V was the fastest around the test track, better than the Hellcat and the Tesla. The truth is, though, I'd be happy to drive/own any of those three. We'll see what my next DD will be in 18 months.

Top Gear USA has been cancelled. The last episode is tomorrow night. So says Rut on his Facebook feed.
