The 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice "Chris Evans is no longer on Top Gear."

Really appreciating all the Clarkson 'thumbs up' gifs being replied to that tweet. A balm for the soul. You've regained a touch of class Britain after a rough few weeks... just a touch.

You could probably cobble together the remains and build it around Rory, Matt and Harris. It wouldn't be immediately brilliant but I think it could grow into something with some time.

I wasn't thrilled with Chris Evans but didn't think he was terrible. I think the bit in the middle where semi-famous people drive the track is terrible and should be ignored but I don't know if that was his idea but it really is poo poo. I do think Matt LeBlanc has been better than I could have hoped for and I want him to stick around.

The new host needs to be someone who can match Clarkson's disdain for foreigners and is currently available for work...Looks like Nigel Farage is the one!

Keep Matt, Rory and Chris Harris as the three presenters. Drop Eddie (I like him on f1 but he brings nothing to top gear). Keep Sabine, but use her instead of the stig just for power laps and crazy speed/skill challenges. Show saved.

I would be very okay with dropping The Stig shtick altogether and replacing him/her/it with Sabine. The Stig feels very Old New Top Gear and it's kinda weird that they kept it.

The stig will inevitably stay because of marketing. Even though keeping him is a horrible idea there's no way they're going to ditch an icon of that show.

Make her The Stig! She can keep the helmet on sometimes and take it off other times. I mean the idea of having a clone persona for "local driver we grabbed to do a thing on location" is genius. Just pretend it's Sabine when it's not (and the helmet stays on).

Chris Evans kept the blacks in the back like it was Alabama in the 1950s and the UK hated him, so maybe things aren't as bad as the Brexit aftermath makes it seem. A topical Extra Gear joke.

They don't need anyone new. They have Rory, Chris Harris, Matt, and Sabine. I'm hoping they drop Eddie as well since he served no purpose. That's a great line up. Though I'm not super fond of Sabine. Keep her for power laps and stuff like that but she isn't a very good presenter. Rory, Chris, and Matt could end up being a trio nearly as good as the original.

Yeah have Rory, Chris and Matt atleast appearing to get their hands dirty on occasion and you'd have a half decent show that I'd probably watch. On a side note it's quite funny how the BBC went into a frenzy trying to beat the Amazon show to release for whatever reason and it has blown up in the most spectacular and worst way possible.

It is not just Evans tho. Eddie Jordon is painful to watch as well and Sabine is just not a good presenter either.

Sabine is clearly a gifted driver but she's as mad as a box of frogs and poo poo at being a 'presenter' to think that she passed an audition is lol. And Jordan just needs to gently caress off, he's terrible.

She is a tame racing driver, not a trained media personality who can nail cleverly written lines to camera convincingly.
