Jeremy Clarkson (viciously) rates some people's rides. Its in NSFW tags for a reason.

NSFW!

Didn’t you disparage every episode of Season 1 as well? What keeps you coming back?

I disagree. It was very reminiscent of classic Top Gear, which is all I ask for from the boys. The trailer for the next episode makes it look promising as well.

That was how it is supposed to be. The trailer for the upcoming season is exactly what I love about these guys. No more pretence but just honest fun. They seem more relaxed and comfortable again. Can’t wait!

Theres obviously no point asking because he isnt answering, albeit 'Lifetime Ban' seems a tad extreme but what do I know?

If you dont like it, then great. Leave it.

I find it strange that people watch a show that they inherently dislike.

Hey, I watched FTWD for a long time hating it, but it finally paid off when it got good in season 3!

You realize that these guys have been on TV forever? I mean, its not like their brand of humour is a secret and we're just giving them a shot, we know who and what they are, thats why people tune in.

After watching episode 1 all I came away with was feeling that these guys are idiot a-holes. Shocking, in the bad way, him crashing that car and all the ridiculous "real man" act about eating salad. Felt like I was sitting through the ossified remains of a baby boomer's mental storage locker.

If Tinordi hates it, it must be good.

I could’ve done without the juvenile ‘vagina’ caller ID joke in Episode 2. But otherwise it seems they’re all back into the chemistry they had during the Top Gear days.

I’ve always loved the lack of political correctness. The world is so sensitive now. They say everything tongue in cheek. The Bell End and Vagina jokes are how they have always treated each other. I’m encouraged it is looking like an updated version of old Top Gear.

I'm glad that Richard isn't playing the role of the village idiot (well...so far). The banter between him and James during the second episode was great.

Jeremy's belly is getting really big.

That was a fine example of unscripted car show.

It seems more scripted than ever IMO, which takes away from the humor.

I have to say, as much as the celebrity interviews and laps have been my least favourite segment of this show the past few have been really entertaining.

'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' was my least favourite segment, I'd skip them too, but the last 2 episodes of the Grand Tour with their 'Celebrity Face Off' has been funny.

Just good celebrities with a good rapport that are entertaining. Its not my favourite part of the show but I dont skip it anymore.

The Lancia / Audi documentary was freaking awesome... The modern day re-creations using original Lancias was beautiful to watch.

GT motorsports documentary segments are just the best. May's segment on Ford vs Ferrari for example.

God bless the Italians and their craziness in vehicular endeavours.
