Default Pros and Cons of the "reinvented" Top Gear

As we all know the new series of Top gear has been redesigned from top to bottom. Some say it's good some say it's bad, so voice your opinions in this topic.

From what we know (2 days before it airs) is that there will be a 4th presenter, a redesigned studio, bigger budget for the presenters clothes (obviously ), a new Reasonaly priced car.

IMO, the new series could work even with the 4th presenter as long as it'll still be funny and of corse test the most exotic cars in the world.

I'm all for everything that they've done to the show. However, I am a bit skeptical of the new presenter. I believe the original three were jusr great. Adding someone new could take awayfrom the show in the sense that we may get the feeling that the new guy tries too hard to be like the other three and comes off as being desparate to fit in. Who knows....we'll have to wait and see.

But like I said...The original three amigos will always be the best in my mind.

I hope it never does, but Clarkson is filthy rich already (am I correct?), and he isnt that young anyways. Boy when he leaves, its gonna be a low blow for TGear.

i think the noob is Peter Duncan. i did a Googled "Blue Peter", and he came up a few times. he works for the bbc, and he is an actor. look him up, im willing to bet money that he is the new announcer.

oh, and btw:




that pretty much confirms it. (peter duncan is the one on the left.)

Living in the US, I know nothing about this man. I hope he can drive. Maybe with his help, James and Hamster might finally beat Jeremy on one of the challenges.

I hope to God the 4th presenter isn't Sabine. Two episodes was more than enough.

Tom Ford maybe ?? The've done all the filming for 5th Gear so there is a small chance it could be him, after all he is a reporter for the Top Gear magazine. However it is, I'm not sure he is needed. What I like about the "new-generation" TG is tht each presenter had a specific personality which we all got used to. As for the new studio etc. I'm sceptical...if something is good why bother change it ??


BTW...the all new reasonably priced car is the Chevrolet Lacetti:



here is a 3D view of the beast http://www.chevrolet.pl/models/lacet...60_exter_0.htm

^^^^^^^^^^^^^You're right, If it aint broke don't fix it the saying goes. Well as for me I don't care who this new guy is so long as Top Gear keeps Jeremy and is comical with ofcourse the best cars.
