And is this a repost of an already answered question? If so, sorry.

If not...

The Top Gear guys are back!

When news comes out that something is exclusive to a particular online streaming service, all I hear is "Same-day top-quality rips!"

Sickbeard FTW

Although, I do have Prime anyways for the shipping, the other stuff is just a bonus.

Prime video streaming doesn't even exist in Canada

It does on the internet.... can you not stream it from your browser?

Also, having watched a few clips from YouTube I can certainly verify this show has potential. These guys already know what to say and how to speak to people like us. It was the old Top Gear unchained. You felt like clarkson might punch someone.

Apparently the budget is about $5.5MM per episode. Filmed in 4K. This is going to be good.

One thing that Clarkson's firing did was drown out the hate the show was starting to get in the later seasons. A lot of people forgot all about that after the ham sandwich bandit got fired for punching his boss over coldcuts.

The people who disliked how the show became would complain it has devolved into memetalk, is tired, and hasn't done anything new in years.

I am looking forward to this but I can understand peoples disinterest.

Idk. With the death of tg usa, roadkill being monthly, and mcm being spotty quality wise, im starved for content. I could easily use Hammond Clarkson and may back.

Signed up for Prime just so I could watch this. (Oh and get free shipping.) can't wait for it. TG is too late to the game. They should've reorganized before GT did. Ooohhhh.... did anyone notice.... "TG" is "GT" backwards!

I thought Top Gear was the automotive equivalent of the Kardashians. Overly scripted and contrived. Arrogant hosts that have no reason to be arrogant. I just never much liked the show and now a portion of my Amazon Prime membership is paying for it.

I did. And with "the Ben collins" I suspect they're doing this stuff on purpose.

Fair enough. Personal preferences, and all that.

However, a portion of your Amazon Prime membership is probably paying for all kinds of stuff you don't like.

Ben Collins was the Stig for about 14 seasons.
