Let's start with the bigger bit of news. After many rumors and rumblings, the Beeb has announced that top-notch car guy, Ferrari aficionado, and BBC Radio 2 host Chris Evans will host the next generation of Top Gear. While Evans' co-presenters haven't been announced, the new host is at least somewhat familiar with show he'll be leading. He's featured once as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, turning in the sixth fastest time at the wheel of the Suzuki Liana. He also featured much later in the series, when James May begged, borrowed, and pleaded to take his gorgeous Ferrari California Spyder for a test drive. In short, he's one of the few people you really, really want at TG's helm.

I won't watch it. The original guys were the main reason I would.

Yeah no thanks

That would have been like Seinfeld without Jerry. I won't be a viewer.

If I wanted to watch a terrible car show, I would watch Top Gear USA. HA!

Tough crowd.

Amen!!!

GretchenGotGrowl · 06-17-2015, 06:53 PM

I'm willing to give him a chance.

I never got too attached to the original guys. they were funny, but i'm willing to see how the new one goes. As far as TG USA, I really disliked it for the first handful of shows, but then they grew on me. I like it.
