You put Clarkson with anyone and it'll be entertaining to watch.

But put yourself in his shoes for a second. Would you turn down a gig from one of the biggest shows on earth? I can't say I blame him to be honest

I never said I blame him for making the decision .. Everyone would make that move.

I said it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. I would rather he kept doing his own thing and kept building up his own brand and who knows.. possibly starting his own show and doing things exactly how he wants, instead of what the BBC wants.

i must be the only person who never gave a crap about top gear. maybe humorous, sure, but why would i care to watch someone ooh and ahh over beating the snot out of quarter or half million dollar cars ill never be able to afford or relate to?

I don't think this will ever happen. You can't replace the old crew with a new one and expect the same product. Ever IMO. That doesn't mean the show can't be great, but it needs to play to each persons existing personality / strengths. This seems like a lot more diverse group of hosts than the latter...

BBC may have just saved TG. This is awesome news! I hope every car gets tested by Sabine on the ring. Way to benchmark!

[ghost34]

The Rogan interview with Harris touched on the success of Top gear and what the show did for the trio, it's an interested watch with todays news.

Nope me neither and I never liked Clarkson ... I love Sabine and I think Chris would be a great fit for more a retrospective show like TG. That said, I really hope Chris and Sabine do their own thing ... Something maybe like this with Chris would be awesome, Sabine is a total badass here, and chugging beers at the end is the best part:

[Pentium]

in order this show to survive, they need to run away from the previous format and by choosing these 3 presenters they did, it's a totally new different show but with the same name... TopGear.

[Boss330]

Will be interesting to watch. Great news!!

The OP isn't quite accurate though with regards to Sabine. She is still a race driver and competes for Frikadelli (also the name of a German meat dish served at her parents restaurant I believe) racing in the VLN long distance series at the Nurburgring. She has raced in a 911 GT3 for many years now. So I dont know about the M affiliation being so strong...

Her doing Nurburgring laps with different cars for each episode would be awesome though!!!!!

Of course we'll be watching this new "TOP GEAR". But can't wait to see the old "TOP GEAR" on AMAZON! :-)

[shawshank772]

I am sure the show will have a different tone. Itll be fun none the less.

[MParallel]

Interesting news.

Will see how it will turn out.

Me too...

Big fan of Harris!! He would be the sole reason that I would continue to watch the show

The show will be better.

Including Sabine and Harris will make the show more acceptable to a broad audience.

Frankly, the Clarkson era had become uncomfortable to watch. The humor never matured. Wit is by far a greater virtue than sarcastic humor. And sarcasm is like all humor that belittles human character, which with time wears an audience's patience. The old show was sarcastic and seemed an eternal repetition of the same old joke - exaggeration.

Sabine is simply attractive and talented as a super successful racer and very fast at the wheel. She is inspiring to watch. And Harris contributes lots of good information in a short period of time. The show will finally have some real substance.

Top Gear will finally have a bit of journalism. Good bye rancid humor and welcome witty auto journalism.

[Alfisti]

Can Sabine really drive? i saw her on 5th gear and Tiff ran rings around her.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

But that first Sabinie video was fantastic, and I can't wait to see the new trio together.

All Nick Murray videos should be front page !

[aloksatoor]

They should have gotten Tiff back at least. Sabine and Harris might be too similar, both analytical not very funny.

i think this will be better than original top gear.

A bald shortie and a German who make us all look bad? Great.
