Top Gear USA interview by Jalopnik.com

The dudes over at Jalopnik.com really outdid them selves in this write-up.
It's a great interview of the upcoming show, focusing on the presenters.
It's a great read, even if you think the American clone is going to be a failure.

Here is an excerpt-

This week I spent some time with Tanner Foust and his Top Gear USA co-hosts Rutledge Wood and Adam Ferrara. For starters, as you can see in the video below, they're huge fans of Jalopnik, but also, all three of them positively bristle at the idea that a 'merican version of Top Gear is destined for failure — and they're all confident we're going to love it.

First episode to air November 21

The first episode of Top Gear America will air November 21 on the History channel.

It is slated to come on in the evening at 10:00 P.M. (9:00 P.M. Central).

According to the official History channel website for the show the episode is called "Cobra Attack" 

In episode one there's a battle between two snakes as Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust give the soon to be replaced Dodge Viper SRT a fitting send off by pitting it against a Cobra attack helicopter through the streets of Griffin, Georgia. Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust settle which is the best Lamborghini ever, in a 180 mile an hour desert drag race. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin takes to the Top Gear test track.

Sounds like a typical Top Gear episode... let's see if the Americans can pull it off as well as the Brits do it.

Sneak Peak

History channel has released a sneak peak for the upcoming episodes.
It looks really good from the preview, but I will hold off judgement till I see a full episode.
