Hah great name! I can't wait to see what they do now that they don't have the BBC nannystate watching them, and have a gigantic purse of money. Here's hoping we get even wilder and crazier builds like the Reliant Robin space shuttle.

Tonight on Gear Knobs, we build a functioning tank and try and sell it to donald trump. Plot twist, he buys it and uses it to patrol the mexican border.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this won't turn into another Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon, which let everyone know John K is kinda weird without censors telling him not to be.

Likely just that it's so hard to get all three cars together with the right conditions/permissions that they're both sharing. I sure do hope they cameo on each other's shows though, would be a mindfuck.

I'd gotten the impression that Top Gear was able to get away with a lot of things (being loaned supercars to do stupid things with on a very regular basis) because carmakers knew the show had a massive audience, and it had probably been airing long enough that some of the PR people at various manufacturers likely saw Top Gear as a kind of "known quantity" for advertising. With basically the entire Top Gear creative team jumping ship to Amazon, the fact that Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche all felt comfortable enough to allow their cars to appear on a brand new show (although there's a chance they were borrowed from private owners who didn't care what the carmakers said) might be a bad sign for the BBC, since it could signal that carmakers feel more comfortable (and think there's going to be a bigger audience) with the Amazon show than a rebooted Top Gear.

Could also be some very boring reason, like the BBC would only work under a certain set of legal / insurance terms which the car manufacturer had to defer to (with Top Gear being on the car maker's side and fighting the bureaucracy). But since Amazon has no bindings they would gladly pay for or sign whatever terms the car maker wanted.

You should probably let the BBC Top Gear show their hand before making sweeping generalizations like this.

Yeah the BBC is ruined because they lost the hosts to a television programme and no carmaker will ever want to work with them again, because they're all going to take their business to service that doesn't announce it's audience figures.

However, he's well-respected and may have been able to bum some time in the cars on Amazon's dime. Maybe it's the trio trying to capitalize on Harris's big online following?

On one hand Evans hasn't pissed any car manufacturers off, but could be boring. OTOH Jezza and the crew may feel the freedom to piss more people off and be worse off with regards to people that lend them cars and also audiences. Either show could fail catastrophically. For content: Has it been announced which country clarkson, may and hammond are filming their show in?

One massive plus: They no longer have to have celebrities on plugging films in order to class the show as "light entertainment".
