zeitgeist57 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 http://jalopnik.com/chris-harris-and-sabine-schmitz-chosen-as-new-top-gear-1749423599 When you have HUGE shoes to fill for hosts of an automotive program, these two are a good start. I'm still not going to watch. The show's past magic was the interaction of all three hosts (Clarkson, May, Hammond) amongst each other, not a collective of their individual contributions as car reviewers. I hope the new TG hosts have great chemistry together...for the show's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 anything chris harris does, i'll watch. He's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time they've announced the new presenters? I like this lineup...I'll watch. Harris might be my favorite automotive journalist in the field currently. Sabine is a great driver but I'm not a huge fan of her on camera. It's like she tries too hard to be funny and have personality and it comes across as pretty fake to me. When is it supposed to be back is the bigger question.

zeitgeist57 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'll clarify to show my love as well for Chris Harris...his CHonC videos are legendary, from the 3-way hypercar battle to one of my favorites with him in his personal Citroen 2CV. I'll watch, once episodes come out online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Not a great sign that their new executive producer bailed after only a few months. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/dec/22/bbc-top-gear-executive-producer-chris-evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'd expect at least the first pile of episodes will be forced, awkward, and disjointed but if it survives a season or two I may queue it up on the ol' netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wait wait so what's going to happen to all the British jokes when you now have a German presenter? What's next a Frenchman?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I like them both. And I'll watch the show. At least a couple times and probably more because really, how bad can/will it be? Cracks me up to hear people state so utterly that they will not be watching the show. Even more ridiculous are most of the reasons given for not wanting to watch it. Silly.

B3NN3TT Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Aw, man; that's way better than Chris Evans. Pretty pleased with this info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wait wait so what's going to happen to all the British jokes when you now have a German presenter? What's next a Frenchman?! The two other hosts will still make them and the German will just roll her eyes and give a playful smile to indicate "oh you guys". I mean it's British TV so its kind of progressive, just not THAT progressive. Ah the magic of telly. As I no longer have TV service outside of netflix, I will watch once all the Clarson/hammond/may fanboi's have made their nasty comments on the internet and gone away.
