As far as the cheese factor, the UK version is just as cheesy if not more with their English humor. The UK show just has a bigger budget to add more 'WOW' factor to disguise the cheese.

It's a brand new show on History channel. Not a tried and tested show with ~130 episodes on BBC. The budgets are light years apart right now. Of course it's going to seem a bit half-assed. It's still entertaining to watch them wreck beaters in stupid challenges.

IMO, the more car shows we have the better. People just need to give it a chance and not hold it to the same standard just yet. Is it really that hard to watch TWO shows about cars?

You can ask for more time if you're trying something new. When you'er just doing a copy you don't deserve the time.
