Yahoo News Why is Top Gear's Matt LeBlanc always in the US?
The last episode of Top Gear was a bit of a mixed bag, as it felt like there was something missing.
Tonight's episode (March 18) saw Matt Le Blanc heading to America again to test the world's fastest-accelerating car.
He also dropped into NASA and used the car to help a spacecraft land.
However, some viewers couldn't help but notice just how many recent episodes have featured a trip to the States – and not everyone was very pleased about it, considering the show's very British roots:
Are we just making #topgear for the yanks?

Why is all the episodes in the states or is it for Matt's benefit #TopGear

Why they telling us the price in dollars it’s a British programme top gear is losing its identity fast. Need to have an ex British racing driver to host the show #topgear

Top gear is great but would be nice if they done an episode on UK soil #TopGear

Digital Spy has reached out to the BBC for comment.
Still, the chemistry between Matt and fellow host Chris Harris was appreciated, as the pair took a road trip to France together:
This is so much better than the last few series. Matt and Chris are great together. #TopGear
