I completely disagree with the author’s conclusion. There is not enough good about the show to overcome the glaring issues:

The hosts have no chemistry, which is one problem; they have no stage presence, which is an even bigger problem; it’s a carbon copy of UK Top Gear (in a bad way), another problem. And finally, the biggest problem of all: on the Lamborghini Adam Ferrara drove, he remarks

“That’s a polycarbonate window so you can see the engine!”

Crash. And. Burn.

I totally agree: Ferrara isn’t that funny for someone who is supposed to be a comedian. Rutledge has a car background and his personality shines on the show even though he does some pretty dumb moves on camera. Flannel shirts aside, Rutledge is entertaining to watch on the show.

Meh…I like Rutledge, I almost like Tanner (still cant get over how bad he is in the Battle of the Supercars), Adam Ferrara…not so funny to be a professional comedian. The show STILL seems forced, the UK guys have a chemistry that seems utterly effortless.
That being said, when the guys crash & do incredibly dumb things to cars…its very entertaining.
