Much as I was a fan of 'old' Top Gear, plus presenters Clarkson, May and (not so much) Hammond, I do think it was starting to get a bit stale and in need of a re-fresh. As a car based entertainment programme I thought the content in last nights show was actually quite good (even my anti TG wife quite enjoyed it). Time will tell over the choice of presenters - personally I think they should have gone for less well known or perhaps established motoring journalists and given the whole thing a bit of a shake up. Chris Evans (who I don't usually mind) was IMO trying too hard to be JC and Matt le Blanc I'm not sure about yet. I do think Sabine Schmitz is very funny and a good inclusion though - hope she is involved in the series a bit more.
I'll stick with it - last nights show grew on me and maybe the series will yet do so as a whole.
