Actor and Rapper Xzibit visits the studio and the track.

It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to figure out that this show is BORING! I mean, seriously, how bad can this show get? The goal of Top Gear is to be entertaining with a comedic twist, which us what the British version does flawlessly. Even with the new cast line-up for the British Top Gear, it hasn't really lost its ability to make the audience laugh and not fall asleep. This American version of Top Gear just makes me sad, because I am an American and I adore Top Gear. Most of my knowledge on cars came from the show. If Top Gear America can't be anything like Top Gear UK, then why is it still airing?

Pretty boring, BBC couldn't find an additional man with a grown ups voice? Antron's voice would have knocked a star off this show even if the show wasn't awful
