I'll be watching it. Top Gear went a little if track for me. Although I did love the presenters. I have to admit I am a Chris Evans fanboy and have like everything he has done. I personally can not wait. My only concern is there are too many presenters and it may be difficult for chemistry to be built.

Just don't expect this redo to hold up against the original. The presenters are what make this show imho, and like em or not, Clarkson and boys had a chemistry that I doubt anyone will surpass or even come close to matching. The US version was a pitiful example of how bad a good show can be with the wrong cast. Even Sabine, who's awesome, won't be able to save this version. I'll give it a go but I'm not expecting much in return.

If I wanted to watch three middle aged men awkwardly discussing the 'news' and pretending their views are their own, I'll just head down the pub.

Top Gear had gotten very boring for me so interested to see what the new version looks like

I'm quite intrigued to see what they do with it.
In my mind, the old programme had gone very samey & way too scripted. (still didn't stop me watching it every time).
If you go back..5-6+yrs, the challenges seemed less obvious, as did any 'mis-haps' that may occur.

He (Evans) has made no bones about the fact they can't/won't try to copy the old show - although in reality I'm not sure how it can't follow along the same lines. As mentioned earlier, I'm interested to see how they utilise all the presenters and if that will work or not.
As for Clarkson et al - I'll watch it, and will probably still enjoy it. But not as much as perhaps a few yrs ago.
But maybe that's just me getting older :?
