In my opinion the show is dead, Top Gear = Clarkson, Hammond & May. Whatever they do, it is bound to fail without them.

I'm going to watch it.  I watch the US version and actually quite like it.  The fact that they have someone who can really drive helps.  Sure, it's cringe-worthy/rigged/cheesy/over the top but so was the UK one, for say the last 5 seasons or more....

It will be different.  It's going to be a tough sell keeping the same name but changing everything.

I'm not sure. I didn't enjoy the last 3 seasons (other than their off/end of season big adventures, those were good fun). Very little real car content - I think about 20% of the shows only. And then what 6 shows a season!
