To be fair Chris Evans has been going downhill since Zig and Zag kicked him in to touch.

That ginger is trying so hard... it doesn't work.
Joey (he will always be Joey) could actually do a good job of it if he had 2 hosts who were better. Actually he needs 2 cohosts to be actual idiots. Hammond and Clarkson were just idiotic enough.
I reckon Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsey and Donald Trump would make a good top gear team.
Unfortunately they have pushed Sabine into a "sideshow".
Talented presenter and bloody good behind the wheel as well. I bet she is looking for an opportunity to join The Grand Tour...

To my shame, I'd never heard of Chris Harris until I saw his YouTube piece on the Bloodhound supersonic jet/rocket car which I thought was outstanding, especially when the Bloodhound driver, Andy Green took him up in an aerobatic plane to simulate the forces which he'll be exposed to in the car. Bloody funny and actually informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4AyytkpiB0
The guys got integrity too. He was once banned (maybe still?) from driving Ferrari cars by Ferrari for telling a truth online about how Ferrari rigs PR "tests" by providing suped up versions of their "stock" cars with stickier rubbers so that journalists have no choice but to be very wow-ed. Further stating car tests like this makes car journalist reviews pointless.

Watched the first episode - will be the last. The lead presenter is a loud try hard.
Will wait for the new Clarkson one me thinks
Episode #2.
Just as crap. I'm left to wonder when the CEO of the Beeb will pull the plug.

The ginger has a 3 year contract. He won't let go of that without a substantial payout.
He may have to die in a 'stunt gone wrong'
And there was much rejoicing

Watched episode 2 last night, actually enjoyed it.
Agree that Evans is not particularly likeable, but he wasn't enough to put me off last night - think I could get used to it. He's annoying, but no less annoying than Clarkson was, just a bit more energetic about it – Clarkson without May or Hammond would be excruciating. Can't speak to the 'expertise' of either, Clarkson was so opinionated it was hard to tell how much he actually knew about cars.
I'd had enough of old top gear anyway, was well overdue for its swan song and the stunts/slapstick were getting pretty tired. It's a shame they've tried to keep so much of the old format, but I guess it's part of the brand. I hope it gets the chance to grow into its own skin, but probably won't given all the hate out there.
