Pretty bad, yeah... Matt LeBlanc actually isn't that terrible, but it's really Chris Evans who does a bad job (and seems to think he's brilliant while he's doing it). Shouts a lot, tries to achieve Jeremy-Clarkson-level humour but ends up sounding really lame. Thing is he's a radio host and not much of an actor, he can't read the lines of the script that well.

Apart from that, same format, similar script, so it kinda just sounds like LeBlanc's trying to be James May/Richard Hammond (and not doing as well) and Chris Evans is being... well, not so good. The two don't have any real chemistry, either. Can't imagine them going down the pub together unlike the old crew. 

In short - it's decidedly worse, not as funny and a bit cringeworthy.

I thought it was well shot as always, but felt like Chris Evans was trying way too hard, he was awful, and no Jeremy. Matt LeBlanc was great I thought, really nice presenting style, and welcome relief from Chris Evans. The trio made it what it was, but I'm interested to see where it goes and if they can capture some of that old magic. The guy presenting Extra Gear, Rory, was also good, get him on the main show with Matt LeBlanc! The other guy, Chris Harris, was way too serious and boring though, and didn't seem to get jokes... Matt + Rory could have a chance to make a decent show, The Chris's need to go though.

Personally I hated Clarkson, didn't watch TG because of him, I like the new one, I just wish Matt wasn't so brash.

I'm still watching it for the cars and the challenges, but the chemistry of the original trio just isn't there.

 

I'll definitely be subscribing to Amazon Prime when 'The Grand Tour' airs though.

It's absolute rubbish, I prefer the Old Top Gear with Clarkson, Hamster, and Captain Slow than these group of horrible actors. Luckily I have Netflix to watch the good times of the show and I will subscribe to Amazon Prime for the trio in their new show

It kinda hurts me every time I see Matt LeBlanc nowadays. He looks so old compared to when he was in friends (obviously, not his fault). It just feels weird contrasting between what he is now and when he was good Ol' Joey from Friends!

Just a copy of the old top gear - and not a very good one,Evans is off now so maybe it will improve but needs 

some change to its format,out with the oafish buffoonery , the way they would wreck perfectly good cars used to bug me - I still recall the original before Clarkson & co...boring at times but  need to be somewhere in between.We like humour but not idiocy.
