I watched in on the 18th when it premiered. Pretty much like the old Top Gear under that trio, but with a few changes due to separation requirements, I'm guessing. For example, no Stig as BBC owns the rights to him. I really like it, though it is a love hate situation with Clarkson. He is usually okay and very funny, but his prejudices come out on occasion. I often quickly tire of his anti-American rhetoric, but that was tame in the premier episode of GT.
The only complaint I have is they are stuck on thinking the only cars worthy of their show are super cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They need to get over that BS and move on to checking out a greater variety of cars that some of us can actually afford. Plus the best part of their old TG show was when they wrecked things and what not. I hope they have more of that and less of my super car is better than your super car.
The BBC sacked Evans from TG, and supposedly Matt will be back. So it might improve drastically without Evans there to ruin it.
