Most underrated show ever. This too gear was original, fun and in most of the challlenges, we experienced the same things the lads did and it didn't feel scripted. Please please bring this trio back and give them more seasons. This is way better than what top gear UK has been doing for some years now.
I've realized the problem with Top Gear U.S. is that every presenter is Richard Hammond. There is neither a reserved car nerd like James or a take-charge blowhard like Jeremy.
+Rakenson Rutledge is a car geek he has a big car collection of a bunch of different cars and he flipped cars back in the day so he knows his shit he just doesn't really show it
I think it's more that they don't have the same chemistry as Hammond, Clarkson and May do, the US top gear fells more synthetic, and not as natural as the UK one
People always say stuff like that, but I've never understood why car guys enjoy seeing cars get abused/wrecked? 😅 To me It's like a pianist enjoying watching a piano get mistreated; aren't you supposed to like these things? Why do you like seeing them get trashed?
@@CalviusSignatis It's a case of A) the '76 Coupe de Ville is still plentiful, and 2) if you're gonna go, go out in a blaze of glory. And flying like the General Lee definitely qualifies.
@@rdfox76 I still don't understand why you'd enjoy seeing something smashed up even if there are a lot of them. And I guess you'd need to find mindless destruction glorious for the 'blaze of glory' argument to work.
That car was shit. The air conditioning didnt work, a window wouldn't go down, it had an exhaust leak, it was covered with rust, and the rubber in the back had completely fallen off. You could totally get a way better 1976 coupe deville for less than 20,000.
Anthony Rivera, There is also Top Gear Australia, which is a notch funnier than TG USA & a bit quirkier, too. They all have their merits & are far better viewing, even in reruns, than most TV or Web fare.
I loved this show.. I forgot how many hidden gems there were in this episode.. Rut drinking that shine and commenting how smooth it was.. Best though is Adam taking that Caddie off the jump in full throttle. Honest to god that is some of the best and funniest TV I have ever seen.
lol you are incorrect. this very stunt is a shitty remake (one of them even chose the same car) as proper Top Gear's USA 'buy a car for a grand' challenge. I mean, come on.
+Helgrem not really they are made by the same broadcasting so not rip off. also just because it is American a lot hate it or that it is different but what about the Australian version
+Tyrell Wiggems These are the same morons who watch American Idol and vote and talk about how awesome it is, but their weak little minds can't put together that (A) it's an imported British show, (B) they do _exactly_ the same things on it that they do on the Brit version, so the whole "ripoff" thing is a stupid thing to say, and (C) it doesn't always have to be _one or the other_. It's actually okay to like both. In their little idiotic minds, though, if you like one, liking another somehow makes you less of a fan, or not as "hardcore" or "dedicated". They're just not smart enough to see that.
If you crybabies don't like Top Gear USA don't watch it.. its pretty simple.. You probably hated it before you clicked the video.. You just wanted to make a comment letting the world know how you feel. If you like the UK one better then GO WATCH IT. why are you here watching this one????? Makes no sense.. You're personally making yourself watch something you don't enjoy which is weird. BUT... to what I originally wanted to comment before reading all the comments... I would love to buy some old junk cars that run and beat the shit out of them!! Buy em for what they scrap for! Its a WIN WIN!!!
I'm from the UK. Top Gear USA was great. They got the personalities different enough and the humour for the most part was spot on and didn't seem too forced. The show got much better once they dropped the studio. The best parts were always the challenges. Think it is very underrated.
I remember seeing this when they aired it, and this is the first time I saw it for the first time again tonight. And I completely forgot the Caddy actually made it to the finish line!
+Surya Sekhar Mondal To be fair, the first 10 seasons of UK Top Gear was shit. I have all the seasons. It's not till season 15 when it started to get really funny.
smasila maybe you are right, but you ought to understand that it is not just fun that brought people to Top Gear, it is the chemistry b/w the three which made the show so successful even among people who did not really give much shit about cars
I have never laughed so hard as when that Caddy made it's run. Even though I prefer the original TG, I will start following the American one because of this clip.
At least these guys give us the answers to the questions we never get to answer ourselves on this show. The u.k. version is ok but I like to see all the American episodes bc they do all the things we dream of doing in cars
What is with all the hate? You all look like fan boys with a hard on. This show is not supposed to be "better" than the UK version. Top Gear the production company wanted a tv show to be able to break into an American market so they created this version. Sure it's not the UK version but it is no where near as bad as people say that it is. Once you get over the fact they are not trying to be Top Gear UK Top Gear USA is pretty good and funny.

I've watched Top Gear UK since it first aired and Jeremy Clarksons previous motoring shows, and i love them. The Top Gear they tried here in Australia was very average but this US version is almost as good to watch as the UK one. These 3 guys have charisma and presence (Ferrara tries a bit hard sometimes and is a little over the top and "fake") and put their own spin on the show to make it their own. This version does the Top Gear brand proud. 8/10
let's face it, this isn't a bad show, it's just the original Top Gear that's ridiculously epic

Say what you want about this show, but Top Gear USA is still WAY better than the new Chris Evans Top Gear.
You ain't wrong
Your right. No one will replace Richard Hammond,James May,Jeremy Clarkson
Top Gear UK 2002-2015 > Top Gear USA > Top Gear UK 2016-present
@Sean Gavin ,
.....und der Stig, friend.
@Sean Gavin Top Gear USA wasn't trying to replace or be them, Chris Evans version was.
5:37 listen to Adam saying "WOOHOO"
WOOHOOOOOOO!!
5:40 you mean

The og brits set the bar too high
A collaboration between these three and the OGs now on TGT would be cool.
I've realized the problem with Top Gear U.S. is that every presenter is Richard Hammond. There is neither a reserved car nerd like James or a take-charge blowhard like Jeremy.
Both adam and tanner are richard hammond, but rutlage is not...
Agreed, except rutledge. He just doesn't belong on Topgear at all.
I served with Richard Hammond. I know Richard Hammond. Richard Hammond is a friend of mine. These sirs, are no Richard Hammond.
+Rakenson Rutledge is a car geek he has a big car collection of a bunch of different cars and he flipped cars back in the day so he knows his shit he just doesn't really show it
I think it's more that they don't have the same chemistry as Hammond, Clarkson and May do, the US top gear fells more synthetic, and not as natural as the UK one
This is by far the best moment of Top Gear USA. Ever.
The woo-hoo after sailing the caddy was hilarious
Yea that was pretty funny
The beauty of that old Caddy flying through the air is something only a car guy can understand. Brought a tear to my eye.

He won the off road challenge regardless.
Is just that the Cadillac bit the dust.
Still better than the new UK series

thank you you alsi love top gear usa you are a cool person
TraustiGeir That was impressive but I think 4:47 was way more impressive.
***** I think the whole trial of that Cadillac was impressive.
TraustiGeir Yeah and the most impressive was that the Cadillac was still (kind of) running after Adam took it for a spin on the track.
***** Oh, yeah. It sure wasn't built for this kind of beating, but it took it and *survived!*
I don't really care who's better this or uk....I like both

The moment when you laugh so hard you go silent, because the force of your glee cannot actually get out of your body. That jump!
Good one ;)
CarHub 7 years later and I’m your first like
F
This version of top gear had a lot more humor.
That was painful to watch as an old school classic caddy fan, but at the same time it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen lol
I could watch that caddy jump a hundred times and it would still be funny 😆
i died from laughter after see that cadillac go over that jump
I was pissing myself throughout the whole run that was fuckin brilliant
I remember seeing this when they aired it, and this is the first time I saw it for the first time again tonight. And I completely forgot the Caddy actually made it to the finish line!
top gear us is not the best. but that was hilarious.
It is not american enough
@@dmytro2500 It has "USA" in the name
Why do everyone have to add "its not the best" like, yeah, we know. You dont have to diss one to enjoy both
Also the "da da da da da da" killed me.
4:21 I’m off roading in a battleship with a trunk full of moonshine. 😂
Totally epic launching that cruise liner over that jump
Seeing Adam flying in that cadi was beautiful! lmao
them destroying the Z and the thunderbird made me rage a little.
agreed
Yes
I've never seen a Cadillac fly before
Honestly rutlage is cool but adam knows what the people want ... makes me want to buy a old caddy lol
Gotta give it to Adam. He gives it all in EVERY challenge.
Great Show - I watch both UK is EPIC but these guys are earning my respect - that was highly entertaining and that's the point.
You know, as weird as the US Top Gear series was, this race was one of my highlights.
Ah yes a Z31 :)) I’m happy
Did someone notice after Tanner took off, he was on PAVEMENT for a second???
That Caddy was awesome
Why does so many people hate TG USA? What's the deal with it?
it aint clarkson may and hammond. its these guys... thats the issue apprentally.
+SuperChris153
Watch a season of the British one. Better yet, watch a season of both, alternating episodes. You'll understand.

There you have it. The difference is the presenters, their skill at being entertaining, and their chemistry with each other.
+SuperChris153 They're morons. That pretty much sums it up.
+MrSafetymeeting #racismishilarious
The more and more videos I see, the better their chemistry gets. Give them a few seasons, and they may actually have something.
When Adam went it reminded me of dukes of hazzard when Luke stole boss Hogg’s car and he was running cops off the racetrack 😂🤣
I met a guy once who was part of a boy band named Flying Cadillac. I asked him if that was inspired by this episode, and he said that it was!
Adam was excited that the trunk motor stil worked
"ain't nobody got no time for crushing a cadillac!"
no where near to clarkson, may and hammond
I bet the crew was okay with that, that way no one got assaulted...

That poor caddy 😭
the "WOOHOO" at 5:42 had me dying XD
Adam airing out that Caddie is the best thing that ever happened on Top Gear US
I have never laughed so hard as when that Caddy made it's run. Even though I prefer the original TG, I will start following the American one because of this clip.
That Cadillac jump was the best thing ever...lol It was like out of the Dukes of Hazzard.

That's a Dukes of Hazzard jump right there!
Top Gear UK is the best.
Epic jump @ 5:37 impressive flight for such a big car
At least these guys give us the answers to the questions we never get to answer ourselves on this show. The u.k. version is ok but I like to see all the American episodes bc they do all the things we dream of doing in cars
I absolutely love Tanner's laugh
never knew a caddie could off road
I legit dont mind these people
I don't know what the background is for the other presenters (both US and UK) but the little man (tanner Faust) is an accomplished rally driver
Not top gear US' biggest fan but that shit is funny
