I completely agree with this. Also, TG became more about the silly adventure challenges which were fun when sprinkled in, but when they’re every episode it gets old really fast. Plus, the three guys became cartoon caricatures of the personas they developed over their time in the show, to a point where I found it too…

I KNEW I was going to have to explain this to at least one person:

That Audi vs Lancia and the Ford vs Ferrari in the first season were by far the best parts of the show. I will happily trade the rest of TGT in exchange of similar “documentaries” by Clarkson and May

So um, am I alone in thinking once you cook the brakes it’s probably a good idea to exit to pit rather than do another few laps and risk sending it into the gravel traps...?

Matt’s talent on two wheels shined during the electric bike segment.

New Top Gear is brilliant. There’s been clear growth between season 24 and season 25 and it shows. The humor’s a lot sharper and the three have settled into their characters. Chain car racing was honestly the funniest the show’s been since the Reliant Robin road test. This is the best Top Gear’s been in over a decade,…

It’s highly unlikely it was a test drive if it was a Model 3, given that they’re not currently available for test drives, at least via Tesla stores.

One of the things I think people just don’t realize is just how bad some of the later seasons of the Clarkson, Hammond, and May run was. At some point it shifted from a car show with antics sprinkled in to an antics show with cars. I stopped watching as it became clear to me they seemed to care less and less about the…

Yea no matter if you like Chrysler or not, you gotta give it to em for giving us proper rwd V8 powered big ass sedans, especially with how GM and Ford abandoned that segment. I’ve said it before, you have to spend way more to get what a Chrysler 300C offers in size and V8 power.

First gen LH cars were class leading though and put the industry on notice, especially when you look at models offered by GM at the time. The “cloud” cars, Breeze,Cirrus and Stratus were pretty good too. But yea the late 90's is when things started to go downhill. The LX platform saved them I think honestly.

I agree. The Grand Tour isn’t living up to the hype for me. I also completely skip the celebrity segment. Looking forward to this season’s Top Gear.

This is a real shame, because the old Top Gear USA with Foust, Rutledge and Adam was a lot of fun once they switched the format up in the last year.

During the 90's though they were on it. Damn near bringing concept cars to production, Cab Forward design, the Neon etc. They have just had bad luck since the late 80's and being bought by Diamler seems to have made things worse.

The second season of TGT is awful compared to TG.

Because they are perpetually behind Ford and GM by about 10 years in powertrain research and their product line is mostly stagnant. Their interiors lately have been impressive, though.

The real story: Sergio Marchionne was desperately rushing to the meeting to sign the deal papers when his third backup Alfa Romeo Giulia burst into flames and a chauffeur became locked inside a fourth backup with no way to start the vehicle.

FAKE NEWS. Mergio would have accepted a half-eaten burrito.

Think it’s time to stop comparing these lads to the previous lads...and judge the show on its own merits

I’m actually enjoying this more than the last series of the grand tour. I sort of feel the grand tour became a lot more Americanised in its filming and content and strangely forced. I feel the magic is lost.
