Even American Top Gear can't duplicate the production value of the original, and I bet they spent a lot of money trying. Forget about how annoying the American hosts are... that's another discussion.
All of this is on point. The stylistic production was fantastic. I'm not sure that they can duplicate that.

The American version doesn't have any of the appeal of the original.

That's a crazy amount to pay Clarkson too, I wonder what the other two are getting.
