With the old trio, it's like people watched Top Gear to check their adventures, not to catch up on new cars coming out. If I wanted to watch three people fanny about, I'd put the Stooges on. I loved Fifth Gear when it was on as it was purely about cars, they did do some things similar to TG (how far can a supercar go on a gallon of fuel and the like), but I loved it. Also, I think Jon Bentley is a great guy, so that may help me be biased...
