I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
not sure about the new track, i look forward to the ever changing locales and i hope the driver was called "The American" because this episode was filmed in America and they will source a local driver for each episode

really enjoyed the show though, the chemistry is still there

Oh, it looks like new episodes will be coming out weekly for 12 weeks.

The production values are way better than Top Gear. They must have hell of a budget.

Amazon have given them infinite money to do whatever.

I want them to do lots of budget car challenges. I want every episode to be filled with $5000 Porsches breaking down and $500 trucks (lorries) crashing through stacked furniture. Every week.

Budget car stuff was always the best. The super car noise I can take or leave.

the whole supercar "trinity" thing was a giant gently caress you to the BBC and a fart huffing parade for amazon, for the BBC not having the balls or money to make it work and for amazon to showcase how they could. the companies that made those cars did not want them onscreen together let alone on the same track near a stopwatch

Very uninterested in super/hypercar comparisons. Do cars that people who purchase the internet might be able to afford. Nothing is less interesting than watching 3 hybrids (porsche, ferrai, mclaren) compete on their gay rear end track when they are all near a million dollars a piece.

Watched it earlier, wasn't quite as sharp with the humor, etc. as before (maybe just too self-referential? And dumbed down for Americans?) going to give it a few more episodes, like I have anything better to do.

It looks like they're saying goodbye to the horrible 'star in a reasonably priced car' segment which was unalloyed trash 99.9% of the time.

Good:
There's a lot a money behind this which means potential
It's on Amazon so it's more accessible

Neutral:
New track seems interesting

Bad:
Humor attempts were too forced.
Too many bad American jokes.
Too many scenes of exhaust pipes shooting water and smoke (wtf).

Counterpoint-- before the very end of the BBC run it was almost all British celebs I had never heard of and I enjoyed that somehow. RIP Wogan.

I just watched the first ep and it's really a step up from TopGear. Bigger budget, but the gang still feels the same. I don't think carporn gets any better.

Only downside is stupid Amazon doesn't release entire seasons at once.

I"m curious to see if they still do military stuff. I imagine so.

I missed a few minutes of the first episode so they might already have done it.

That was fuel. That's how cars spit flames on overrun.

And tbf, few celebs would last on their new ebola test track. I dunno, I thought the old segment was decent variety, and a good counterpoint for all the hypercar porn for those who don't care for it as much.

No car is spitting out that much fuel from the exhaust without a carburetor and straight pipes. It was practically gushing.

They'll do the other poo poo later same as every season. Its just a cool ep to show off the pinnacle of engineering. If you want to know what car to buy check out road test reviews on youtube theres thousands of them out there.

Yea it is. They use fuel to cool cylinders on overrun and that fuel then exits the exhaust. It's clever as hell.
