I didn't mind the fact that the BL tribute film was essentially re-purposed here, as for the most part, the film worked. I would have liked to see the hosts make pitstops at some of the disused GM plants around the Detroit metro, much as the TGUK boys did in their BL film. But otherwise, there wasn't much to complain about - it's feeling more and more like Top Gear every week.
I agree about the interviews, but that may just be something they have to work out over time. I personally thing Rutledge does better with the guests than Adam does (Tanner hasn't done an interview so far - are they saving him for F1/NASCAR drivers?), but they're still really rough, and far too quick to mean anything before the lap starts. That said, the editing on the star laps has improved greatly - I like hearing more in-car audio. Absolutely no Stig this week, which is criminal. While I appreciate that they're trying to swap in The News wherever they can, the segment only works if the show is timely - TGUK films Wednesday to air the following Sunday, so a news segment works; TGUS was obviously taped months ago. I'd have rather they swapped out the news for a supercar review/lap. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
