Whatever it is "supposed to be", it is not worth my time anymore.

These guys are trying too hard to be funny, and acting out elaborate sketches that at times have NOTHING TO DO with why I watched Top Gear......cool cars being reviewed by witty car guys.

Just my opinion, of course.

I watched episode 1 today and enjoyed it even with the near slapstick humor and the guys trying a little too hard.

Clarkson is a funny guy with quirks. I can live with that.

Yeah... But it kinda goes downhill from there. In the latest episode they don't even test anything!

It's good to see the boys back and I still enjoy watching them. They have a chemistry that is hard to reproduce. However the show has been moving away from cars for some time.

Someone needs to give Chris Harris his own show. Time for the new generation.

I liked Adam Corolla's car show that didn't last long. He really is funny and I hope someday a great show will be built around him.

I've never watched the new Top Gear. I like Matt Leblanc but I heard Chris Harris was a nightmare to watch.

Ya, a nightmare if you dont enjoy spot on reviews by a guy that knows his stuff, and is a highly skilled driver.

Chris Harris is far and away the best car reviewer out there....he has been putting up quality reviews on the net for years.

It was Chris Evans the nightmare not Chris Harris

Rory Reid was good as well

Chris Harris should have been given the keys to the 911R. It was a terrible shame they gave them to Joey. Grrr

They finally rectified in the videos on TG.com but it wasn't quite the same.

I do enjoy the Grand Tour. It's not quite top gear but it is closer than the new format TG
