I’m sort of torn because, conceptually, I like that we’re getting more cars on TV. But I also don’t really understand why there need to be multiple Top Gears running in parallel.

Well in the past trio you had the washed up presenter from the old version that failed, an auto journalist who got fired for making fun of the job he was asked to do and a local radio presenter turned supermarket opener.

A guy you’ve never heard of? So you’ve never heard of 3-time NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown? Must be pretty comfortable under that rock of yours. Also, William Fichtner isn’t a has-been.
