I enjoyed the lastest episode - the enthusiasm the trio have for cars is what brings me in. Harris in particular - the guy has mad skills behind the wheel and can translate that into words. Rory is enthusiastic too. LeBlanc....is wooden by nature so we're seeing the most you'll get from him. He's the weakest link IMHO.
The biggest thing is that they're still using the classic TG premises as schtick. Trips in vehicles. Loving vehicles at the end of the journey. Rory doing a May-esque loser dance. They're all following classic TG routines.
How about coming up with some new content and segments? An awesome new original show segment will leave Grand Tour in the dust.
I did like the new reasonably fast car. The "chat" with James MacAvoy was a bit too long and awkward with the three of them. Could tell it was all scripted and the dialong was disjointed enough you could feel the editing....
On the positive side - the FXXK segment was amazing. Harris beats Clarkson again in terms of gaining access to one of the most desirable cars in the world.
