Top Gear - 2016

[Stylo]

Haven't seen the opening episode of the new version yet with Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc . Have recorded it and will watch it tonight.

From what I've read it was a bit of a disaster, anyone seen it yet?

I did see the short clip on U-toob but I'll reserve my judgement, initial impressions are two overpaid tossers with no sense of humour and nothing in common.

Humour was the glue that made the first series go so well

Matt was okay - almost a good replacement for Hammond, but Evans was just a squawky git and hard to listen to.

[Woodman]

Matt LeBlanc was okay. Chris Evans looks to be a bit of a tool. Topgear was losing it before they came along though.

I have nothing against Top Gear TV show tbh.

I just miss the trio.

I would agree. Turned it off after 25 minutes.

I heard Chris Evans was hosting it, so I checked it out, but disappoint it was not the Chris Evans from Captain America.

Watched the first episode last week, watched half the second episode, probably won't watch any more, CE annoys me just too much.

I've watched both eps so far..

Le Blanc cant deliever english jokes, but when ad libbing is ok
Evens delivers his jokes and lines like some one shoved a broom handle up his rectum. Stiff, and shouting in surpise.

In Ep 2 there were a couple of lol moments, but mostly due to seasick steve, le blanc and Tiny Temper. Every time the ginge reared his ugly head it went all to pieces.

There is only 6 eps, so I will watch them all.. but really.. its a train wreck.

Hammonds comment on facebook today:
"idiots. Watch some old top gear"

It had "potential", if that's the right word, but was really trying too hard.

Not a lot of charisma. Chris Evans is an annoying twat. Ginger's have no soul. The test track is laughable.

Stiggy looks like he wants to abandon ship altogether.

Have seen first episode.

Chris Evans looks nervous and tries too hard. Find him annoying in this mode...

Matt LeBlanc looks chilled but at odds with the Pommie humour and lingo.

Feels like watching Two and a half men after Charlie Sheen got canned, as in I don't bother now.

Only really amusing bit was Sabine muttering just loud enough to be heard - while wrestling with the Corvette - "this piece of shit doesn't handle anywhere near my Ferrari".....

Didn't she say "piece of shit has awful suspension like Ferrari"?

Not the same but a lot better than the Top Gear USA or Aus.

I thought the American was going to be the annoying one.

I think it will get better. It's different, but then so were the last three compared to even older versions of top gear. It's not a show that is my cup of tea any longer though. Even if the last incarnation of top gear was just starting I wouldn't watch it much. To scripted. There are more honest, and better, moto offerings to watch on YouTube imo, if you can be bothered with that even.
YouTube was never opposition to top gear until the last five years or so.

[Big Dog]

But yeah, try hard. Habe to wait and see how they settle into the style. To be fair first eps of the original sucked too until the lads got over themselves.
