How you rate new top gear
Just wondered what the overall view was, so starting a poll seem to be the way.
To be honest it was ok, Matt's Americanisms drove me mad, its an English produced series so speak the language. Plus the set now looks like the American Top gear set, prefer the Uk set.

I have just voted for the 'hate it' option, but i think that's a little strong.
I enjoy the programme, but i can't stand the ginger shouty guy.
Matt LeBlanc is a lot better than I thought he might be, and if he had the lead role I think the programme would benefit considerably.

My wife hit the nail on the head "I'm not in to cars but use to watch it for the Banter"
Not going to be the same without the old boys I guess but I will give it a chance

I was never a big fan of the show before, as it was a car show designed to entertain as many people as possible. So it wasn't really a car show.
Now it's fairly similar but with different presenters. Who just don't have the comfortable familiarity the last lot had. It is just desperate, trying a bit too hard. And Chris Evan's dress sense and ginger hair just irritate me a bit too much. He can't help being ginger, but somebody should do something about his wardrobe.

havnt bother / been away to watch the previous 2 ? episodes , after the first intro which I didn't go for . But the different presenters not completely hamming it up, like Clarkson trio ,I found refreshing this week

Chris Harris and the coloured guy were good. Sabine was actually okay too.
Again Chris Evans ruined it though. I actually think without him and a bit more about the cars it wouldn't be half bad.

Meanwhile I'm left googling to find out what the hell is under the bonnet of that mustang....it shifted, but clearly only had ITBs on the intake, so no turbo, no supercharger....
Turns out it's a Roush NASCAR engine, based on a 1970's engine Ford Windor block..16valves and pushrods....yet there it is screaming past 8000 (redline is about 9200rpm depending on if it has solid or roller lifters) and pushing out well over 800bhp which is astonishing compared to a modrn engine which has to have multiple cams, twice as many valves which variable lift/timing and forced induction to get near that power etc. What's more you can buy one ready to run off the shelf...I wish you could do that with a forged Scooby engine (would make make life easier every time they go pop ).
What it needed was the stig to whizz it round the old TG track....just to see. How it compares to a supercar.
And finally why does THE BBC keep promoting that God Awful ear-assaultingly terrible singer Tom Odell?
Its bad enough with him on constant repeat on BBC radio, now they are plugging him on Top Gear? Shameful.

I have no idea who Tom odell is or half the guests they have on.
I think it's pretty good and better than old top gear.
I like matt he's quite funny although I thought I wouldn't.
Chris Harris and the other guy are good too.
It's just Evans who is a bit marmite I don't mind him but his shouting is annoying.
It has some variety with the different presenters.
Old top gear was
Stupid challenge
Same old contrived gags usually about Clarkson being useless at anything mechanical,The other two breaking someone's air con etc.....utter crap.

thought it was better than the 1st episode (couldn't bring myself to watch the 2nd one).
They're starting to get the balance between the presenters right now (imho)

The introduction of Rory Reid and Chris Harris to the main show was a real bonus. The EG episodes have been quite entertaining in a different way to the main TG.
As I have said before the original "Clarkson era" TG never had the M,H,C as presenters with the BBC looking to cancel after series three but it then took off.
