I am morally opposed to this third-rate reproduction. Who are these guys?

    Love Gone Wrong? Go Digital to Get Over an Ex

    You thought you found your one true love online, but now you’ve been dumped by text or defriended on Facebook without a peep of explanation. Hours of bad TV in your bathrobe haven’t helped. Your friends are tired of your whining. Forget a pampering makeover to help heal your broken heart this Valentine’s Day. Go for a “digital breakover” instead.

    They are Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer (according to Wikipedia), I’ve never heard of any of them.

    Hope the History Channel doesn’t have to high hopes for this show, Adam Carolla just isn’t Jeremy Clarkson…

    If there were to really be a successful American version of Top Gear they ought to see if Leno would do it, he’d be great in the Clarkson role.

    Actually, Carolla and Stromer have been replaced by Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood, respectively. Carolla was on the Man Show.

    Leno is dead to me after the whole Coco fiasco.

    Foust can be a bit handsome-boy smug, but he definitely has the driving chops to be involved. But the other two? Blah. I like that they seem to have kept the format similar to the UK version (and not some sort of Americanized “pimp my ride” lunacy), and an American car show that actually drives cars aggressively will be novel, but it’s the personalities that make the UK show so great. These guys don’t seem to have much in that area.
