Not just saying this for the sake of it, but I think by and large it's going to be shit and too try hard. Having a bloody yank doesn't help. Chris Evans seems to be trying to be too Jeremy Clarkson judging by what I've seen so far in the clips, and it's just extremely irritating and rather cringeworthy.
Celeb guests I simply cannot stand so it's a massive shame it wasn't scrapped.

There's meant to be a bit in the first episode where Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc are doing challenges in Reliant Robins and it sounds a bit too much like they are trying to copy the old top gear.
I am looking forward to the proper car stuff with Chris Harris though

Star in a reasonably priced car needs to go, as do the stupid stig remarks. It's boring and linked to the previous version, so not sure why they'd want to keep it.
On the subject of the stig, I've never understood why people literally masturbate over 'it'. It's just a guy in a fucking race suit ffs.

Glad I'm not the only one.
As someone alluded to, if Chris Harris is the normal Chris Harris then that will be superb, but, given he's now working for the BBC... Will he be like that? I hope so. I think I'll do what I normally do. Record. Skip the shite, and watch the rest. I think I'm one of the few who actually like fairly normal reviews of cars

Is Nic Barnes and his golf going to be on it? Like an interview and maybe some footage of him driving it about to show off some induction kit noise

Does he have a golf? Thought they were badged as a vw 7r?
Dont think they will do much on the 7r tbh. Far too common now and didnt score as high in reviews as a Saab 95 Aero.
