Hmmm... Matt LeBlanc (who did, in fact post a respectably quick time in the Reasonbly Priced Car a while back) and Sabine? Regulars or guests, I wonder...?

Well, the "respectable" time was the fastest in the Cee'd for all of the stars. .1 faster than Rowan Atkinson, and they were over .5 second clear of everyone else.

Pretty respectable, indeed.

It's not much secret that both are regulars. Hosts, you might say.

Love the fact they made fun of Evans losing his lunch. "Why is red?"

(insert obligatory grumbling about how it's not as good as it was in previous seasons)

Well, they know how to put a trailer together, so that's something.

Can I be a cool kid and say I hate it before I even watch it? #tiredhashtagbringbackclarkson

I'm willing to give both shows a shot.

Obviously they have never been to a delli on NY City. Clarkson would fit rite in there.

Revamped Top Gear + new Clarkson/May/Hammond Show = Double the fun!

I'll watch both.

What a time to be alive!

They have been full of controversy and cluck ups, the donuts at the war museum in london, the recent failed half million pound trip to kazacstan(cant spell). Along with reds 4 hr work days... as much as I want it to tank, id probably feel a little bad for bbc for screwing up that badly and loosing their cash cow.

I hope the new Top Gear lineup fairs well. Hopefully someone will post here how the show is.

What new show features Clarkson/May/Hammond?

IIRC it's called "Clarkson, Hammond and May" and will be showing on one of those Netflix-like services (Amazon's? I don't remember, I view them all the same way )

LeBlanc is going to own that show. Mark my words.

It doesn't have an official name yet, and it will be on Amazon's streaming service in the fall.

I don't think we've heard the whole story why Clarkson was let go. If he did punch a guy because he didn't get steak, I would find it highly unlikely that the other presenters plus a few if the staff would leave too

IIRC, the other presenters contracts were up for renewal, and they said if Clarkson was gone, they weren't coming back.

I am really pulling for the new hosts to do well. While I enjoyed the Clarkson/Hammond/May lineup, the schtick was getting old and started to wear on me in the last couple of seasons.

Maybe having an American on the show, or just not Clarkson, will reduce the America bashing. We deserve most of it, but it gets old.
