BBC Teases New Top Gear - Does It Stand A Chance Against "The Grand Tour"?

The BBC released a trailer for the new season of Top Gear to give fans a glimpse of what they will see in the newest revamped version of their longtime motoring program.

For this iteration, Chris Evans will be absent. Chris resigned from the show after the first season with the new hosts failed to sustain high ratings. BBC retooled Top Gear about a year ago, after it fired longtime host

Jeremy Clarkson, and other longtime hosts Richard Hammond and James May didn’t renew their contracts.
Matt LeBlanc it seems will be more front and center in the latest installment that the BBC is hoping will capture a new audience and keep the Top Gear machine moving forward instead of stalling out.

LeBlanc, Harris, and Reid can EASILY make Top Gear viable, but they have to stop relying on the format that Jeremy Clarkson put in place. As long as they keep the same format with new faces, they will always be wannabees. I think the BBC should let Top Gear give The Stig to The Grand Tour and find something new and novel.

I don't think Grand Tour is as great as Top Gear was. A lot of the stunts in Grand Tour are pretty bad, lots of repeats of the same scenes and even the jokes and comments are not as great. I think the New Top Gear has a better chance of success.

I've always felt Harris was a better presenter than Clarkson. Hopefully this will turn Top Gear around. I'm struggling to get into The Grand Tour.
