Matt LeBlanc announced as Top Gear co-presenter
Discussion
I really don't understand why people even care about "The Top Gear" anymore.
As a car show it has being going down hill. It had a large, highly diverse and wide reaching audience but was at the point where a large part of each show was nothing more than footage of arguing/acting out highly scripted sketches. Great if you like that thing and it now will have a home on Amazon Prime.
If you gave a fraction of the BBC Top Gear budget to Chris Harris and Neil Carey to film some cars the results would be incredible, you only have to look at his latest video to see what they're capable of.
Then you throw in Sabine, (Eddie Jordan), Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc along with the remaining Film Crew. They can all handle a car and are knowledgeable about cars/driving in different ways. Racing drivers would make up the majority of the hosts.
I hope the show doesn't try to be Jeremy, James and Hammond MKII and instead concentrates on the strengths of the new hosts. Their driving.
They could finally kill off the stig too.

Ditch the Stig - it's been done; ditch the star in the reasonably priced car - it's been done.
OK, now you have CE and MLB so you've got your stars. Now get someone with substance - Harris, etc.
Of course, it won't be aimed at the people on here, it'll be aimed at ratings - and that means GP. And what do they want to see - Chris and Matt doing wacky things.

Can never quite make my mind up about Chris Evans - he can be cringeworthy one moment but brilliant the next - we'll have to wait and see.
Great news about Chris Harris!
Matt Le Blanc could be interesting - at least he can drive a bit.
But PLEASE no EJ - guy talks sh*t most of the time and won't shut up!
Or maybe someone in a silly shirt is compulsory to keep minority groups adequately represented?!

Looks like Piers Morgan to take the final top gear presenting slot according to his twitter feed and BBC America.
He's good mates with Chris Evans and can drive a bit too apparently.
I think it's a good choice imho.
That would really be the nail in the coffin! fHe's good mates with Chris Evans and can drive a bit too apparently.
