I was just watching the episode the other day where Matt knocks off Mr. Bean for the best guest lap time.

Looks like Matt LeBlanc has been announced as a new BBC host for Top Gear!

His hot lap a few years ago was great!

Hoping the show comes back and actually lives up to its name!

It's a good start. I hope they try for something different and don't just try and plug and play the old format.

I'll watch, but I'm much more interested in the old trio in the new Amazon show. Of course, I also watch plenty of bad shows on Velocity because: cars!

shawshank772 · 02-04-2016, 10:40 AM

But hes not English, or even British! Just weird to me.

Aatish · 02-04-2016, 10:47 AM

I like him better than Chris Evans. I'll leave it at that.

golovko · 02-04-2016, 11:09 AM

Top Gear is dead to me.

Neither is Sabine. They seem to be really trying to change the old formula.

Pinewood · 02-04-2016, 11:22 AM

I can't imagine anyone having the wit and verve of Jeremy presenting it tbh.
Chris Evans used to be good on the original TFI, but even that is a shadow of itself now.

Sabine might not be on it.

ptack · 02-04-2016, 05:06 PM

I'll at least check it out now to see how Matt is. His hot lap was very funny. Of course we're all waiting for the Amazon show.

tke743 · 02-04-2016, 05:23 PM

Isn't it telling that the most important character in that pic is the Stig.

disappointing when compared to Sabina and Chris Harris

quite the opposite. I was worried those rumors were true from a few months back. That would mean neither could ever be a guest on the real Top Gear trio's new show.

And also I enjoy subscribing to Chris Harris' youtube channel which would also probably go away...

His channel hasn't had anything since it was announced pretty sure he'll be on it
