I think it's much better than I expected.......but I had really low expectations. My thoughts are if the show was allowed to be an Hour and half they actually get the content in there between commercials instead of every segment feeling so rushed. I can deal with Tanner's personality (or lack there of) because of his skills and knowledge. Rutlage Wood (two last names?) no idea who this guy is but I can tolerate him. The Adam guy (can't even remember his last name) bugs Me. I don't know who he is, he has zero personality, he seems to have zero car knowledge or experience and seems to be trying to play the Clarkson jerk role but without the humor.
Now that being said I think if they are allowed to continue long enough it will come together. Watch the first season of the current UK Top Gear and you'll see it's almost as clunky. I would say keep Mr. Wood as the outside guy and replace Adam with a respected Moto-journalist like Ezra Dyer or the guy with the glasses the used to work for Hot Rod and does the Barret Jackson commentary.
Also, I think Tanner is the U.S. Stig. If You'll notice the U.S. Stig looks pretty short and having him do it makes sure they wont have the British problems of the Stig wanting a bigger chunk and getting reveled.
Just My $.02
