I'm a Prime member and I'm looking forward to this.

I'm excited.

Yeah, no pressure on those guys....

I'm also excited. It better be all the things I loved about top gear, and none of the things that i thought were boring. I'm sure everyone else feels the same way, so theyll have no problems figuring it out..

There was an interview on Richard Hammond's YouTube channel about that. Basically no track, no stig, no star in a reasonably priced car. Probably no theme at all that was used on Top Gear. So this will probably mostly be just the films they made. Maybe.

I am surprised about the no track/stig thing. That was kind of a small scale lightning lap. I liked seeing the cars lap times compared to other cars raced on the same track by the same driver. I will not miss the star in a reasonably priced car, that was usually boring.

So are they even going to review cars? The end of the car review was the lap time.
What about "The News"?

Obviously they will still do challenges.

So many questions...

[kevm14]

I don't think they'll do the news.

This came out on Amazon yesterday. I only watched about half of the first episode, but there seem to be many similarities to Top Gear. It is filmed in front of a live audience, there is a section resembling the news and there's a track.

[Adam]

We're going to watch it tonight. The reviews on Amazon are really high (4.9/5.0 w/>4k reviews). Since all the first viewers are Top Gear fans, its good to know that it probably won't disappoint their core audience.

I watched it. The track is kind of dumb. The show was ok. I think it will get better.
