I've signed up for a one month free trial of Prime. I might watch a few of the TV series and films that aren't on Netflix yet, but the main reason was for the new music streaming service.

I won't be. Prime is pish for tv. Great if you buy a lot of stuff on amazon though. Top Gear will be on torrents/streaming sites as soon as it is aired anyway

Presenter line up has been announced. Chris Harris, Sabine & Coulthard With Evans.


More interested in seeing how this works out & the sort out dynamic that happens.

Not sure how I feel about Chris Harris joining. On one hand he is probably the best motoring journalist in the world but now he won't be able to do his brilliant youtube videos which are much better than top gear will ever be.
The hybrid hypercar video he did is amazing.

Love the way the press is describing Chris Harris and Sabine Schmidt as "virtually unknown"...!

One of my favourite videos for many reasons.
Hopefully he can bring some of that magic to TV & bring a Car show back to being about cars! Also hoping he carries on with his Youtube channel too.

I found that part funny. Essentially if you aren't really a 'petrol head' you probably haven't heard of them. Otherwise they are known figures!

Hopefully Couthard will replace The Stig and not say much

All we need to do now is replace Evans with this fella it'll be the ideal lineup!

Coulthard has rejected the role in favour of F1 on C4.


On the other hand Evans can't talk to the camera whilst driving & appears to get motion sickness too . . . . . . . Guessing they didn't get many people in for the interview

Clearly not as easy as it seems.. i reckon they'll cheat and stick the car on a low loader and pretend he is driving it

Matt LeBlanc will be joining Chris Evans hosting top gear! From what I remember of him from interviews he's not the most exciting guy to listen to...
