Evans seemed like he was trying too hard. He was running in circles, shouting, and putting weird inflections in his voice that sounded utterly forced. It was like he was trying to make everyone excited by trying to make himself sound excited without backing it up with exciting content.

The Fiat Multipla bit was much better

Quick question: why does the show even need a Brit? Top Gear was a cash cow on its resale value. Would British based fans really be upset if no Brit were the lead? If Leblanc just took over main hosting, and had his all star support like Schmitz and Harris, plus the great Stig wouldn’t that be a fine show?

Sabine, to me, looked shackled; held back to make to make Ginger look good. For shame, because she dished hard shit to that Z06 and had all the power to lock in and finish him off once and for all.

Chris Evans. Get the fuck off Top Gear and let Rory, Harris, Leblanc, and schmitz do shit on top gear, not banishing them to Extra Gear.

I wanted to like him, but just about every problem I have with the new show is linked to Chris. Matt was surprisingly good, he’s a keeper, rory on extra gear was pretty decent, Chris Harris was classic and Sabine, meh, not too bad but not much more than a spare stig.

they really should have not aired the reliant robin bit. THE most boring ‘challenge’ in tg history. Basically here are two cars, one broke and was towed to the finish line, back to the studio.

1. Here we are, after so much hoopla, watching the first episode of TopGear, which looks old and also looks new. Everybody’s ready to pile on the hate, and so was I. The opening card, however, actually looked well-made—a testament to just how amazing TopGear’s crew is. Chris Evans, however, is not amazing. In fact, he is…

Seriously, I was hoping at some point LeBlanc would just punch that fucker dead in the mouth and shut him the fuck up.

You're thinking of Chris Evans, not Chris Harris

CHRIS EVANS IS SO EXCITED BUT IS LIKE A SPANIEL THAT DOESN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING.

I hope you mean Chris Evans (one in the middle). Chris Harris (one on the right) is a pretty great car bloke, driver, and writer, and I never heard him shout except from ecstasy when he drives the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

I have no idea how Chris Evans is regarded in the UK, but I find him extremely... well... this is how he makes me feel.

this, though, is on a new level. just watch it and see...

Yeah, but the real question is, is it even worth pirating? Because if the show sucks, then why bother?

I can’t believe Evans has a radio show - you’re telling me people subject themselves to him without even the benefit of lovely cars or scenery to look at? I could listen to any of the three old hosts read the phone book, but I’d be hard-pressed to listen to Evans shouting even if he was telling me I just WON A…

CHRIS EVANS presents CHRIS EVANS in all new CHRIS EVANS ‘Top Gear, starring CHRIS EVANS & some other people who get to talk to CHRIS EVANS.

Oh, and did we mention that Matt Le Blanc is American? Because he’s American. Matt Le Blanc. He’s American. From America.

I want it to suceed - as the more car shows the better, but it felt a bit like Batman V Superman.
