Totally disagree.

It's about the presentation of the cars.

What makes the studio segments so cringe worthy is that it's just unedited Clarkson/may/hampster. They are terribly unfunny presented raw, but are quite funny with the help if a skilled editor/producer. May is the funniest when presented just by himself while Clarkson and Hammond really shine when you edit their bits together.

The reason I think I like the expedition episodes the best is there is hundreds of hours of footage to pull from to fill 45 minutes of airtime. You can do tremendous things with comedic and dramatic storytelling in the editing room.
