But then I wasn't a massive fan of the old programme and I doubt they've changed the format THAT much.

I used to avoid whatever Radio or TV show that Chris Evans was on but have been listening to Radio 2 recently and he has grown up!
Quite like him these days.
I will give him a chance.

I'm more looking forward to the Amazon version of TG, it GT as they've been calling it on Twatter. Wonder if it's included with Prime?

I'm guessing large swathes will already have made up their minds to despise this. I'll give it a go though. It won't really be Top Gear any more, its just a new motoring show under the same name, much the same as the complete overhaul/revamp they did with it from the Tiff Needel days.
Should be ok if it doesn't take itself too seriously.

I'll give it a go.
What i'm not looking forward to are the swathes of social media posts about how 'IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME'
Of course it won't be the same, if you want the same - go and watch JC etc on Amazon, it's not like they've gone away for good is it.

A different kind of pasty
Quite looking forward to it. I stopped watching the old Clarkson/Hammond/May version as it started getting just a bit stupid, tired and samey.
This. Which is why I won't be watching.

Based on the snippit in the OP – and other things I've heard from people who were involved – it sounds like it's going to carry on where it left off, only with more presenters...

As long as they use plenty of Sabine it should be decent

Agreed. The last series or so was just tedious scripted mugging for the camera.
It can't be any worse.
Or can it.............?

Same as every other series with the gruesome threesome then.

Almost but not quite. The earlier series were comprised of tedious scripted mugging for the camera interspersed with an occasional amusing moment (in my opinion). The latter days were tedious scripted mugging for the camera bereft of any interesting ideas whatsoever.

I'll give it a whirl, hopefully the funny moments will be more natural than they used to be;
'Oh no, we've accidentally set fire to another caravan, caused an international incident and said something outrageous about the French, what crazy chaps we are!'
