Top Gear USA - HOT ROD Interview part 2 - video Dailymotion

RobKinnan from HOT ROD Magazine interviews the cast of the new TOP GEAR USA television show and asks the questions car guys want to know.

Transcript

00:00 To us, the show is really going to make sense because it's American cars and culture that's

00:04 relevant to America and the perfect place for it.

00:07 I didn't get that until we got like three quarters of the way through shooting it.

00:11 How different.

00:12 You know American car culture is different and you can pretty much track the history

00:16 of the country with the automotive history of the country.

00:19 But I didn't realize what a unique thing it was for this format.

00:24 To talk about a pickup truck or to have a super loud car and be like that's awesome

00:30 instead of it's hideous and wrong.

00:33 With the UK show, the rest of the world's car culture is just so dramatically different

00:37 than ours.

00:38 It took me a while to really realize how much this hits right in the heart of the American

00:43 car culture.

00:44 Are you doing any vehicle testing like they do?

00:47 Yeah.

00:48 I got to drive the American car culture.

00:50 I drove the Porsche Panamera Turbo, X6M.

00:55 It's a good mix of old and new.

01:04 This is a Martin V12 Vantage.

01:07 Some fun cars.

01:08 Are you at all shy about bashing a car if you don't like it?

01:12 They're pretty much not shy at all about that.

01:15 I think it's a little more politically correct in the US.

01:18 I think if we're supposed to not say what we feel, they forgot to tell us.

01:22 Oh, okay, good.

01:23 They'll say something sucks.

01:24 What do you think?

01:25 I go, I don't like that.

01:27 How many episodes have you filmed?

01:28 Ten.

01:29 Ten of them?

01:30 Ten, yeah.

01:31 Is that all for the first year?

01:33 So far, yeah.

01:34 But it's been a lot of fun.

01:35 Yeah.

01:36 It's been a lot of fun.

01:36 Yeah.

01:37 I'm excited.
