History YMMV / TopGearUS

* {{Hatedom}}: Has quite a large hatedom composed of fans of the British Top Gear, despite the fact that Jeremy Clarkson says that [[http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/02/10/u-s-top-gear-renewed-by-history-for-a-second-season/82306/ they all love the show.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Rutledge Wood

* TransAtlanticEquivalent: Arguably (in some fans minds), one of the big reasons the US version's been as popular as it has is that it really does try to be as generally equivalent as it can. Including the attitude of "We are number one, every other show/car/country out there [[Film/MysteryMen are number two or lower]]" that the original ''Top Gear'' had.
--> "I know, the rest of the world thinks Americans are arrogant. And, to be fair, fuck you."

* HarsherInHindsight: In the Alaska special, Adam's 1977 Ford F250 was described as "...[looking] like the Unabomber's truck". The special aired one week after the Tucson shooting.

** The segment on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI includes a snippet that sounds a lot like the intro to {{Metallica}}'s "One."

* HateDumb: Most of the complaints seem to stem from the advertiser sponsership, shorter run-time and the prevelence of cheap car challenges.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Quite a few fans of the UK version that finally warmed up to the US version during the second season didn't take too kindly that much of the studio features carried over from the original (Stig laps, car reviews, Star in a Reasonably Priced Car) were dropped come season three.

** In the Continental Divide episode, they had to haul livestock in the back of their minivans. The livestock proceeded to stink up the vans and crap everywhere. In one van, they somehow even managed to eat the ash tray.

* HateDumb: Most of the complaints stem from the advertiser sponsership and the prevelence of cheap car challenges.

* {{Adorkable}}: Rutledge.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: There is some debate about how the three hosts match up to their British counterparts, but the most generally-agreed upon is:
** Adam = Jeremy
** Rutledge = James
** Tanner = Hammond
*** That said, some would argue that not only is that list incorrect in every particular, but that one of the things that makes ''TopGearUS'' work is the fact that there's no attempt made to specifically mirror the UK presenting team.

* HateDumb: The American version has gotten hate mainly because "It's not the British version." A lot of this hate tends to come from the US version [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks trying to be just like the British version]]. Yet ironically, they want it to be like the British version.

* {{Squick}}: The hosts' reactions to the forensic tests performed on their [[TheAllegedCar $500 cars]]. Let's just say the results were disgusting and leave it at that.
