It's a good one. I like the US version too.
US version not nearly as good IMO...but I haven't really watched much of them. I usually try to catch the BBC shows. The US guys seem to try too hard to be like the BBC version (funny). For Jeremy and the gang, goofyness seems to come naturally.

agreed, the US version is awful. just because you put some guy with a british accent and plaid on the show doesnt mean it will be as successful.
When Adam took the Caddie off roading and jumped it, bending the frame, I laughed HARD for a couple of minutes.
That being said, I'm a huge fan of the original one, and I'm watching the latest one, with a combine converted into a snowplow, right now. DVR's rule...
Bar none, the funniest thing I've ever seen on Top Gear was on the American version.

If I'd have know that would make for good tv, me and my friends would have videotaped more of our antics. I had a friend that had a hand-me-down caddy from his parents (~78/79 sedan d'ville), affectionately named the "baja caddy." It saw more offroading than all 4 of the Jeeps I've owned, combined. And it has been known to catch some air on a couple ocassions...one time while taking a "shortcut" through someone's front yard. :-"
