Well it looks like @timebug was correct. According to an article I just read, the shows producer Andy Wilman said there will only be two episodes per year. That is hard to believe. Those guys aren't worth that much money for two lousy episodes per year. They will each be making other specials and shows on their own too though, so I look forward to seeing what May has in the works, and to a lesser degree, what Hammond has in the works.
According to Andy Wilman his first cut of TGT S4 E1 was nearly three hours long, but Amazon whittled it down to less than two hours. Probably smart on Amazon's side since it clearly wasn't TGT's best effort. To be fair it was their worst effort to date. Even the terrible American versions of Top Gear were better than TGT S4 E1. Both of the American versions of TG were pretty bad, especially the first cast they had. British TG with Matt LeBlanc post season 1 was pretty good though. Too bad he left the show.
For those who like the older Top Gear seasons, MotorTrend has a bunch of those seasons now.
