Default New Top Gear

Starts tomorrow, I didn't realise until I saw it advertised.

We can look fwd too:

Gay jokes.
Middle aged men in jeans.
Men in the audience hanging sycophantically off Clarkson's every word and laughing at all his jokes.
A 'race' across foreign countries.
Derogatory remarks about Vauxhalls.
Slurs against Audi drivers.
Growing guts.
Clarkson using a hammer on something.
Hammond showing off some car he owns.

obviously in a duel between a Toyota Landcruiser and a Landrover

Landrover breaks down and gets hit by a drone strike

game over, case closed - Toyota wins by a small middle eastern revolution

Same here, I hate all soaps with a passion, because I don't like them I tend to not watch them rather than watch them anyway then feel the need to moan about them.

I don't mind the 'races' when there is a car/s that's worth watching (such as the race across Japan in the GT-r) but what was the actual point in this one?

Same here.

Although I laughed at a few bits.

Still find it a bit of light entertainment of a Sunday evening.
