Rutledge Wood, one of the three co-hosts of the History Channel's Top Gear USA, has announced that the show has been canceled. In a Facebook post, Wood told fans that Tuesday night's episode is "the last we have shot for you." He added: "I'm not saying Top Gear on [the History Channel] is done, but it's done for the immediate future."

Top Gear Usa was never going to be an easy ride

It's not clear exactly why the show was canceled, but Top Gear USA never managed to gather the same momentum as the BBC original. Hosts Wood, Tanner Foust, and Adam Ferrara took a little bit to find their rhythm, and while some viewers criticized the show for cleaving to close to the original, others claimed it strayed too far away. Without the presence of Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, it was always going to be a bumpy ride.

The BBC, of course, has had its own troubles with the original show after Clarkson made an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack" on a member of the production team and was fired. The British trio will be returning in a new series, The Grand Tour, which is set to arrive on Amazon Video around September this year.

Meanwhile, Top Gear USA's wood is leaving with only love for fans of the American show. "So here's a toast to all of you out there," he wrote on Facebook. "I hope you'll watch Tuesday night and enjoy the last show we made for you. We took a trip of a lifetime down to Cuba and drove classic American cars from the 50's down there, and I can tell you it's one of the coolest things we have ever done together. Cheers and lots of love, Rutledge."
