    Head 2 Head

    Does anyone else love this as much as I do? If there was ever a perfect car testing show that is pure American, this is it. I dont want to call it the American Top Gear though, because their show is different with the challenges and everything extra. This is two guys with great chemistry, what seems like minimal "writing" and its wonderful. I really enjoy it.

    Am I alone?

    YUP! It's been getting really good. Lieberman and Cammisa have a hilarious chemistry especially in the Golf vs. Focus RS and BMW M6GC vs. Alpina episodes.

        It's definitely one of my favorite Motor Trend segments for sure. They've amassed a pretty decent number of good reviews, up and down the spectrum of performance cars.

              Yeah I'm a big fan of most of the motor trend guys. I tend to agree with the opinion of Jason Cammisa on most car things. The last episode I watched was the Giulia vs ATS/M3/C63 and it was pretty awesome

                  They have about 12 episodes on Netflix but I've been watching it on YouTube also.

                    Just saw the Bentley vs Tesla episode.

                    Pro:
                    -good info
                    -cool challenges

                    Cons:
                    -Constant annoying babble from both hosts (hard to decipher who's saying what). This is easily enough to make me not want to watch anymore episodes
                    If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                      I think they have a great chemistry and keep it entertaining, IMO.

                        Best American car show in a very long time.

                        It's no Clarkson/Hammond/May chemistry, but then again nothing is.

                            Just realized that Jason is no longer with MT

                            Bummer, Jason and Johnny were a great combo.

                              Yeah, I can’t imagine why he would want to leave. Seems like it would be a great job.
                              They stole Jethro from DriveTribe; the first few episodes with him were slightly awkward, but they’ve been getting their groove. Just watched the M4 cs/911 gts episode tonight.
