What our Italian compatriots may know as . . . quattro formaggio!!

Awesome, thanks! Chris was the only good thing about the new Top Gear, and that segment was awesome.

Because Christ alive, that thing is stunning. Just drop that chassis on an old Chevy Cavalier and I will pay dearly for it anyway.

Nobody makes a prettier car than Aston Martin and it's been that way for as long as they've been around. Beautiful, beautiful cars.

Totally agree.

While it lasts

Sidenote - Hammond drives a BRC special. :-)

Another fun episode. I'm so glad they're back.

Somehow I missed Jeremy's choice of footwear for Conversation Street in the previous episodes.

Haven't watched it yet but hopeful this week was better than last. Thought the Live Die Repeat style segment that made up most of the show last week was awful.

While I understand the criticism from TG fans [as one], I'm somewhat at sea regarding assessing the criticism as a show [re]building its brand.

I watched the 2nd episode at Thanksgiving at much insistence, in the midst of an audience who'd never heard of TG and had no interest whatsoever in cars.

While I found the banter retread and slightly lazy, they found the hijinx boisterous and hilarious. They murmured that they'd have to remember to check it out later.

And I have to admit, their enjoyment made the episode more enjoyable for me as well.

Kind of reminds me of the dynamic when a rabid fan of a band hates it when they 'make the big' time and everyone loves their music. The fan isn't coming from the same perspective. They've versed themselves in established charms and are looking for growth, while new fans are enjoying those initial charms anew.

It was TERRIBLE.

Ep 3 was awesome, though.

Rory Reid was good as well.

LeBlanc, Reid and Harris would be worth watching. They found 3 very personable guys there with enough difference in their personalities but enough common ground that you could get a nice mesh there.

No more Sabine and no more Eddie Jordan. Both of those folks were almost as bad as Evans.

Nice rebound with episode 3. The 4K HDR video was pretty incredible with all of the scenery from Italy.

Agreed. If they use that trio for next season I will defiantly look forward to watching.
