I watched about half last night, Evans's deff ruined it for me. He sounds like a muppet.
Also is it seems like he wasn't driving any of the proper fun high speed stuff ?
Looks like i will be watching youtube car shows now instead, they seem to have much better content.
Offloading 5th Gen bits.

this.

Evans needs to calm the funk down, and they need to create their own format. The only reason i watched it was for matt le blanc, and he made it (only) just watchable. Their never going to be CH&M imo, but at least we have another motoring show to watch as other people say.

watched up to the "Star in a Rally Car"

my honest opinion

Evans - has a weird shaped head with an awful hair cut and a loud mouth - also if he puts his hands all over cars every time he talks about them i will cut them off myself - Also he is not Clarkson so he needs to stop trying to be him
Le Blanc - he was okay bit more Hammond like funny at points did play the im an American card too much
Sabine - yeah as to be expected i suppose
trip to Blackpool - why
Car shoot em' up was good fun

overall not too impressed and will wait for "The Grand Tour" and Amazons unlimited budget

I watched it, I laughed, I'll watch it again.. it's a bit like when other countries copy our shows - almost the same, but not quite as good.

Did anyone catch Extra Gear? It's like when ITV2 does an 'extra' of an ITV show.. Chris Harris and someone I've never heard of present that.. this was like an even more deprived country copied a show copied from us long ago. I'll probably watch that again too though :lol:

Just watched extra gear. That was class. Really decent show and very likable presents. Always like Chris Harris.
They should just extend that show for another 30 mins and leave it at that with Joey from friends in there too.

Tonight's much better.
The mclaren 675 film was great (I always thought JB should be one of the new hosts Tbf) and the South Africa film was good too - the race at the end was great fun. The relationship needs to build up between the guys a bit more, that's why there's less of the banter sessions in the road trip films than there used to be before. If you watch back to some of the first couple of series with the previous 3 though, that's the same Tbf.

Still feeling like a pale imitation.
Better, though audience figures dropped quite dramatically.

And on that bombshell.....
