Former Top Gear hosts to make new auto show for Amazon

[Eraser]

So under the BBC Top Gear made $78 million annually. Amazon spend $250 for a 3 year deal. 3 * 78 million does not make $250.
Will Amazon really make significantly more out of the show than the BBC did with Top Gear?

{LOL RACISM}

[Don Carlos]

It'll be more if the same, which is all I want

[seremtan]

It'll all be fun and games, 'til Clarkson drops some casual racism

except this time Ofcock will not be involved

thank you internet

Yes, because they're allowed to advertise it.

And the revenue will be monstrous from it

[PhoeniX]

I'm guessing the worldwide free advertisement Amazon will be getting for prime on the back of this, and when they launch the show, will be priceless as well bringing in a lot of new customers and probably stealing a fair few of Netflix's.

[seremtan]

it'll get more punters in than 12 Years a Slave, for sure

Even your topic titles are autistic.

[DTS]

WTF Doombrain, I got the topic title from a news headline (which I linked to the article of). If you don't like it don't click on it. Don't come at me with this "everyone must be autistic if I don't like what they post" bullshit all the time, just cause you watch some soap opera like a proper addict.

[Doombrain]

Nailed it.

What did everyone think to the "new" Top Gear? I thought it was watchable despite what everyone else seems to think. The second episode was much better than the first as Joey seems to be far more relaxed in the studio.

It was never going to match old Top Gear, but I guess now there's two similar-ish shows .

[Eraser]

Haven't seen it myself, but I read viewership counts are sinking like the Titanic though.

[PhoeniX]

Will be interesting to see what happens after the iPlayer stats come in - I guess less people watch live TV now.

better than ever

I feel Matt is pretty solid but Evans is trying too hard. Also it feels at times like its purely about imitating what came before. I am positive it will find its feet and be enjoyable enough. But The Grand Tour will smash it hands down.

didn't impress me

[losCHUNK]

I thought it was pants, forgot the 2nd ep was on

[PhoeniX]

It's worth a watch it was far better than the first. Tinie Tempah stole the show though to be fair.

I guess everyone wants it to fail and think Evans stole Clarkson's job so don't give it a chance. I was the same but now they're signed to Amazon it's all good; two shows for the price of one.

[losCHUNK]

Aye I really don't know if its bitterness, could be.

I was never a fan of Evans anyway though, think he's a decent enough bloke but I didn't like TFI Friday which is the last time I considered him relevant. The show seemed flat n all, it felt too weird seeing those presenters shoe horned into the same studio too. Then doing silly gimmics like 'bump' in the 3 wheelers and star in a reasonably priced rally cross car ?

Didn't float for me :/

[Captain]

The new show sucks, just like the old show. It's not even about cars.

[losCHUNK]

When did you come to that revelation ?
