Has anyone watched this yet? We saw the first episode last week and it looks pretty good. :)

noooooo.. I have watched the first two episodes and hated both of them :(

the aussie stig is a little bit more chubbier and the presenters just dont have the panache and delivery that the UK team has.. :( I was looking forward to it and was severly dissappointed.

I agree that it struck me as a bit of a copy w/ Australian accents, but compared to the abomination I'm anticipating when the US version comes out, it was enjoyable.

Wow, I'll have to see if I can get ahold of these.

they will always be compared to jeremy... maybe the us version is the wrost.

You watch Top Gear Aussie, expecting Top Gear, but you only get the Fifth one.

I've watched 4 episodes now and it's not nearly as good as the original. The "What were they thinking?" wall got annoying after the first episode and they seem to try and cram too much into each episode.

On the plus side, the UK version's season just started back. :)
