Top Gear USA will fail.
The British version is great because the show is mostly funded by the government i.e. the tax payer. So they don't have to worry about manufactures and advertisers threatening to boycott the show if they're not happy with a review.....or Clarkson's political rants.
Not to mention these host will suck. I like Tanner but when it comes to reviewing cars, like on super cars exposed, he's got no real opinion. Every car I've ever seen him test gets a swimming review. FYI anyone associated with NASCAR should not be let within 200 yards of any Top Gear set.
