Matt le blanc came out with a few funny off the cuff one liners in episode 2 I genuinely laughed at!

Think it's got better and better since the first rubbish show. Wish people would move on from them 3 muppets they had there time but in the end it was just utter boring predictable crap.

I thought the first 2 episodes were awful, but episode 3 was very good!

There was less Chris Evans, more Sabine and Harris, good guests, great cars, and Ken Block + LeBlanc was the icing on the cake!

This might work.

Basically, the less screen time Chris Evans gets, the better it gets!

I hadn't noticed the shouting until social media pointed it out. It doesn't bother me.

I like the new show, im sure ill like Jeremy clarksons show as well.

At the end of the day - its a car show. Same reason I like wheeler dealers  :laugh:

I find it strange when it was announced TFI Friday was coming back for a few more shows everyone was happy about it but now he's got the Top Gear gig no one likes him.

He's always been a bit shouty but if you're a car fan you should be able to get over it easily enough.

I have watched all 4 episodes so far. The first 2 were OK but the 3rd and 4th have been very good  :congrats:

Chris Harris has been the star of the series in my opinion.

My friends brother works at Audi and was lucky enough to get to bring home an RS3 on Sun night so we took it for a spin, lovely sounds and good power but didn't seem to feel all that quick. I only watched the Top Gear yesterday but wasn't too surprised by the fun o meter results he had.

Matt Le Blanc just seems bored, Chris Evans seems uncomfortable, Rory at least really wants to be doing the job but just doesn't deliver for me (Though this is probably an unfair comparison to the previous presenters) the Jag to the Motorshow was a good piece with interesting history I thought. Sabine has been missing in the most part but I find her quite charismatic, she should be kept on the track though

I agree Chris Harris works really well on TG.  The others are OK, but Chris Evans seems out of place and his reviews kind of forced. 
It can't be easy though, and I'm sure the show will develop over time.

They needed a "Face" to front the programme, imho Evans was the wrong one. The others on the show are ok , how to get rid of him though ? Give it to Chris Harris as he develops ? That would be my choice. That said the new show has improved since the first one.

I agree with most that have said that the show has been improving with time. Chris Evans was so shouty in the 1st episode! Damn! How can a man be that shouty!!?? Well, I think he's been trying to lower a bit his tone of voice... :laugh:

Matt Le Blanc has been a good surprise. I wasn't expecting much from him but he's doing the job better than most of the others. I also like most of what Rory Reid has done so far. Sabine should be kept on the track, not presenter material... Eddie Jordan I suppose has been doing what he was paid to do. Be that weird character. :laugh:

Just love every review done by Chris Harris! He's the real star of the show. :grin:
