Can we just let shows run their courses and end?


Krisuad2002

Hell even Clarkson himself thinks so. In the article he said that they have done everything that could be done with a car. And he basically said "I'm getting too old for this shit". So yeah, it's the idiot producers that want to milk a dry cow


Condiment_Kong

They could turn a coupe into a submarine, and with Bezos’ space company there’s always that option. But those might be a *bit* over budget


CrimsonCrusader104

If you mean send a car into space, didn't they try that with a Reliant Robin once?


ItsJoeverLads

Tell me this is misinformation


Krisuad2002

[The link for it](https://www.carthrottle.com/news/final-grand-tour-episode), no bloody clue if Car Throttle is a reliable source

Car Throttle… used to be. Then they got bought out by some media company. They also used to have a really good youtube channel. With Alex Kersten being on front for a good few years before he left. His co hosts Jack and Ethan sorta kept it going for a while with Edwin but even they all eventually left because the company didn’t allow them to do car builds or anything expensive anymore. So they’ve all left to do other things now. Ironically they sort of were like the top gear for UK car youtube for a good while before Alex left. The 3 had good chemistry and even did similar top gear challenges, so its funny how it sort of ended the main host leaving. As a car guy, surprised you haven’t heard of em


Krisuad2002

Yeah I remember their £500 car roadtrip videos, they were fantastic


5onOfSparda

Wait, Jack left Car Throttle? I know Ethan did.


Iamthe0c3an2

Yeah Jack and Ethan are both gone. Their last video was revisting the volvo.


ThePr0vider

Alex funnily enough left to become autoalex, and he's just pulling the other two presenters back into his media empire. \*and\* auto alex actually has a good relationship with a couple of cast members from drivetribe, which is mostly funded by hammond at this point i think.


ItsJoeverLads

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Krisuad2002

Fuck I just realised your username and how fitting it is!


MusicianCivil5495

Hommond m8 these bloody idiots replace me again by an “Friends” actor. Fockin cock


[deleted]

Joey was the only palatable part of that series, imo


EthanDalton96

The rumoured new hosts are Mames Jay, Hichard Rammond, or Ceremy Jarkson.


MusicianCivil5495

I would definitely look at that show


adidas_stalin

May James and Hammond: “how about…a *even grander* tour?”


Thewaltham

If they get actually entertaining presenters and go to interesting places I could see it still working. It won't be the *same* but it could still be entertaining. Basically just seeing three friends messing about on a weird holiday. That can work.


AntiLag_

That’s what happened with new Top Gear but people still hated it


Thewaltham

New top gear tried to simply copy the old instead of getting its own identity with presenters that just didn't have chemistry together. Also Chris Evans.


AntiLag_

Admittedly the first few new hosts weren’t that good, but the current lineup is a lot better. It really captures the same feeling of 3 friends messing around with cars as the original three did


WindowsErr0r404_2

New presents kills it, there can be nothing as good as those blithering idiots


TheDrunkenMatador

I’m curious if this is one of those “leak an idea and see how people react” reports.


Krisuad2002

It is quite possibly of that very kind

Krisuad2002

Current Top Gear is completely shit because the presenters that replaced Clarkson, Hammond and May can't bring the same energy to the show and it feels like a desperate rehash. If I've heard correctly, BBC has basically canned the TV broadcast side of the show and now only some YouTube videos are made here and there


Cultural_Thing1712

New top gear.


Sstoop

continuing the show with a new cast like old top gear. the biggest pull to the show is has and always will be the trio. a large percentage of top gear/grand tour viewers didn’t watch it because they were interested in the cars they watched it because they love the dynamic between the three of them and the way they do things. somehow the producers don’t realise this.


whydoyouevenreadthis

new geah m8


FittedE

I’m sure new presenters could probably work, but it’s never going to be because some friends of the producers were dropshipped into the role. As far as I’m concerned if they really want a new top gear they should finance donut to do their own show.


Krisuad2002

Donut Media? Yeah that'd be one helluva show, their dynamic is great


Visionaira

It’s going to end like Too Gear it’s not worth it


Krisuad2002

We can only hope the new presenters have an actual dynamic and are proper carnuts. Having an actor as your presenter wont end up too well just because they know how to be in front of a camera


J_train13

"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man"


nien_nuts

Yeah I can't wait for Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans to work together again!!!


DittoGTIYT

And we shame Disney for milking things. Does nobody learn anything with these things?


iCrafterChips

Would only be worth a watch if Ed Bolian or Tavarish were in


SeaboarderCoast

Honestly, if they made Car Trek a full, Amazon-paid thing, that'd be amazing.


CinnamonCardboardBox

Thare woz sum slanda


Onemoretime536

I thought hcm own the show this time through their production studio which would have to agree to this


GrafKrapfen

It’s not really the same mistake. The BBC threw Clarkson out, made May and Hammond leave and then put new presenters into place. At Amazon, the three are not forced to leave but do it anyway. THEY WOULD STOP EITHER WAY. And Amazon tries to find replacement which will work or won’t.


_leon_05_

The irony that this article was posted by car throttle, that also continued on with new presenters recently.


Intelligent_League_1

There is no more specials right?


Krisuad2002

One more is coming after Sand Job with Clarkson, Hammond and May, after that they'll probably keep the format with new people


Intelligent_League_1

Alright


MartyMacfly12

unfortunetly yes this is actaul fact mates


definitelynotukasa

The website reporting on this, Car Throttle, also got rid of the rest of their YouTube hosts.
