If you have amazon prime you get the new show included and it's supposed to all be shot in 4k. I can't wait.

I'm slightly more optimistic, cautiously so, about the BBC's new cast, simply because of Sabine and Chris Harris. We'll see.

Want to see Sabine track a Ford transit van and make Evans puke lol.

Should be interesting , time will tell.

FenwickHockey65 · 05-30-2016, 11:37 PM

Well that was...pretty bad.

I thought it was ok compared to general car shows. Nothing will be the old top gear but I will enjoy watching this new version.

FenwickHockey65 · 05-31-2016, 09:05 AM

I think Matt LeBlanc did a good job. Chris Evans just comes across as needlessly obnoxious.

Plus the format of the new show is weird.

Airway Monkey · 05-31-2016, 09:06 AM

The only decent thing IMHO was the cars. The chemistry was not there and the reviews were pretty crappy. Doubtful that I'd watch it again.

FenwickHockey65 · 05-31-2016, 03:38 PM

Obviously they need time to grow into their roles and get to know each other, but a lot of the on screen chemistry seemed forced.

Plus I don't get the point of having a laundry list of hosts when some of them barely get any screen time.

trashmanssd · 05-31-2016, 07:37 PM

Work in progress but it was first try and it was watchable. Looks like the new "top gear" The Grand Tour will be available this fall. Over a year to get even one episode done seems a bit crazy, I hope its worth it.

ClawSS · 06-16-2016, 10:21 AM

The less Evans and more Sabine...and things will come together nicely.

FenwickHockey65 · 06-16-2016, 11:35 AM

BBC said they're toning down how much screen time Chris Evans gets.

I haven't watched any episodes past the first one.

Agreed. Chris Evans is obnoxious as sh*t. Then again, so was that arrogant ass Clarkson. Smack talked every American car ever made, meanwhile stoking every German car on the road. Good riddance....
