Aston Martin Rapide.
Ew yuk - that grill is hideous - almost as bad as the latest Lexus batch! I never thought I'd say an Aston didn't look great.

It looks like Hammond doing an impression of a Peugeot ...

Here's a nice feature on that car - the first 20 minutes about the car that was taken to Bonneville, and then the rest about another Mini Cooper.

Have you seen any of the YouTube snippets and teasers? There is also a 35 minute interview with Wilman which I haven't finished watching yet.

The biggest difference I have seen in the videos I have seen is that, I guess with Amazon being in it for publicity and money, the closed off streets of Top Gear shoots have been replaced with thronging crowds. It will be interesting to see how the new show pans out.

I saw a 30 second trailer (with the sound down) just before I posted. It looked good from what I saw.

But either way, it's Clarkson, May and Hammond. I'd watch a show about them washing dishes, to be honest.

There is one short YouTube video of them sitting around watching the start of a Top Gear episode.

New Top Gear or Old (but not as old as older) Top Gear?

Fun video, but I'm thinking it's fake, if nothing else, for legal reasons.

Nov 18th can't get here fast enough for my liking!
