it will be nothing like its counterpart. the chemistry the other 3 have and the personalities are what made it work so well on bbc.

Yeah but they weren't always like that. I'll give it a chance, I don't think Foust was the right guy for the part. Yes he can probably outdrive every person on this forum in damn near any car. And he knows more about exotics then most of us as well. However, from all the shows I've seen him on, he has NO personality and is just really dull to watch.

Clarkson on the other hand, isn't a particularly great driver, he knows oodles about cars, but he is entertaining as hell. Even his segments on slow cars are fun to watch because he does retarded things like driving inside a mall, or launching it off a dock.

But I'll watch a few, hopefully it will be good.

I LIKE Foust! I think he's the only one they got right.

The only show I don't like Foust on is the new Foust vs. Doodoo head hosted by the poster child against steroid abuse.

And just as a reminder it's 9:00 Central time!

Meh, I made it to the 10 min mark and frankly didn't care if the Cobra or the Viper won. There was a serious personality vacuum impairing my enjoyment of the car. Sorry, but never try to copy the original. It's a setup for failure.
