Agree with Nige, Another plus for the Alfa here, owned quite a few in the past and love them (not just another German clone), but definitely a car you buy with your heart not your head!

Felt the team dynamic was slightly better this week but still very wooden, I don't think there is, as yet, any chemistry between the presenters D3 LHD - great car !

I agree, they are still a long way off, indeed I don't think the two new presenters will ever develop a personality. Much as I detest Chris Evans, I reluctantly have to admit that his hyper-active over-enthusiasm was a good foil to LeBlanc's laid back style, but there's nothing like that between the new trio.

Clarkson, May and Hammond had a certain chemistry, a little pee taking, just like good mates do. Worked well, sorry, but it cannot be copied. Similar to Porridge and Only Fools and Horses. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Best top gear yet ! Loved that ford and some serious off-roading .......... 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

For me, just not interested. Not going to watch it.
Personal view of course Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4

It's slowly getting better. Good content this week. Dialogue still a bit wooden Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

Is it just me or is the Le Blanc American influence getting more prevalent? Every show so far has had a huge segment devoted to the US... maybe he misses home too much? D3 LHD - great car !

I actually think its a bit more of a car show at the moment. Certainly if you're looking for an exact replacement of the old Top Gear, then this is not it, nor is it likely to be (at least in the short term). But taken on its merits as a TV programme its OK and has some interesting elements. Robin

Last night was quite ok.
Last week was quite bad, except for the Bugatti segment.

The in studio part is bad, very slow, not fun.

The crew interaction is still not there. '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

I think it is pretty good. Le Blanc and Harris getting better and feeling a bit more at ease. I do however find Reid very irritating.

There are fewer pranks and more time showing / discussing cars than the previous 3 who are on Amazon - which incidentally apart from their first episode was a huge disappointment. Current RRS: MY18 SVR

It's a pity the GT didn't do a timed lap and it would have been nice to see some more of the car. No shots of the interior and not enough of the exterior detail shown. Whilst its great to see the car doing some track action, there was little balance between the car going at speed and showing more of the unique body design whilst stationary.
The off-road stuff looked genuinely scary and was a really interesting segment, but the show needs to drop Jordan. It's no surprise neither of the drivers wanted to be teamed up with him.
