Honestly...Top Gear is done...I see no way that they can compete with this.

The Gran Tour looks like a movie at some points haha! Insane and looks like it will be amazing!!

So awesome, can't wait!

great trailer. Of course top gear is done. It was done the second that fuckwit fired Clarkson. They were just too stupid to know it yet.

Fanbois...

Summerwolf · 10-07-2016, 10:45 AM

While it looks good. I highly doubt Top Gear is "done." Many people (including myself) will not get Amazon Prime just for this, and will wait for the DVDs to come out. Top Gear will still be what I watch, especially now that Chris Evans is out.

i wish they brought back top gear USA so i can see tanner foust be a hoonigan and drift everything

Watched it via file sharing late yesterday.

Highly recommend it.

It's as good as ever.

Well, I mean the three originals, performing in a new venue, are just as fun as in the past.

So what did you think ?

They picked up right where they left off. It's just as good, if not better than the old top gear

Kiske · 11-19-2016, 11:41 AM

The only part I didn't like was Mike Skinner. I just didn't find him entertaining. I'd have prefered to hear just Clarkson narrating the lap.

BigFatFlip · 11-19-2016, 11:50 AM

Just watched the first episode of "The Gran Tour"... kinda meh. It just picks up where the last top gear left off, which both good and bad.

The car/driving segments are as good as ever, but a couple of "joke" segments were really painful to watch. The "guest star" segment sticks out specifically. I get it, it's a joke, they aren't top gear anymore and they aren't doing those types of segments. Same way with the British airforce "fight" with the audience. Just felt like they were trying too hard with the scripted jokes instead of using the chemistry they already have. Hopefully they do a road trip episode soon.

Overall, just felt like a whole lot of the same when they could have tried a whole different show format or things the BBC would not have ever allowed.
