Top Gear USA- cancelled

I'm sure a few of you have gotten the memo, the Top Gear USA TV program has been cancelled. Tonight will be the last episode and it should be a fun one. They will be driving the old cars in Cuba. This is one of the shows I really liked. Not too heavy and not much intelligence required to follow it. They didn't try to razzle dazzle you with technology that generally is wrong on most of the auto shows (like Motorweek). It was just fun. Maybe somebody will pick it up and the three guys, Rutledge, Tanner, and Adam, will be back on the tube.

I knew tonight's episode was the season finale but I did not know it was cancelled. Where did you hear that from? I guess I should have saw it coming, last year there was no season at all, the last new episodes before this year was back in 14.

Rutledge and Adam put it on their FB. They are hoping another network will pick the show up. Some seem to think velocity channel will bring it back.

I love this show but this season hasn't been that great, the first episode was pretty good then went down hill, I had a feeling they were about to drop it by Rutledge FB last season

Good show, kinda sad to see it dropped. I am sure it doesn't have a crazy budget compared to the UK version, someone should be picking it up. I hope.

I didn't care for the show. Used to watch Motorweek when it was on Iowa Public TV but that was because it was the only car show I got. I do like wheeler dealers one reason is the work on some European vehicles that I have not seen before.

This does suck some. I enjoyed it on Hulu. Especially Tanner's driving ability. I was very glad to see he had the ecoboost ford in the truck challenge episode.
