I don’t really care at all as long as they keep it at home. I do like the guys and the crew, they have a long lasting appeal and I watch the re-runs all the time.
Recently there was an American version of First Gear on another channel, well I am a huge fan of the BBC First Gear but these jokers were trying to duplicate everything the BBC show did and did it horribly, I watched three episodes and quit, no more ever.
Its all about the characters and the personality interaction, and MB does have it. I hope they stick around for a lot longer though this little even and the one before it “Knock your socks off: may have gone too far, the socks myth explosion really pissed off a nearby town.

It's Top Gear, and although I've only seen the first two TGUS shows so far, I concur. Second episode: presenter in crossover AWD races two skiers down a mountain (Richard Hammond already did this, without getting stuck behind a alow moving truck on a paved road - excitement!)
Top Gear Australia was a little (lot) rough around the edges, but at least they showed some initative in thinking up local challenges. Their second episode: Most ore moved out of the Kalgoolie Super Pit/time by presenters (driving ute pickups) vs The Stig, driving a regular mining truck.

Those dots are the regular mine trucks, which are a bit larger that the utes used
