I'm surprised they made a 3rd season. The other two seasons were so bad.

I enjoyed the episode. So much car stuff in it. I dislike some of their episodes where there's barely any car content.

But they are starting to run out of ideas... not much originality in their program these days.

NFI how they settled on the stupid tent format with guests etc, was just insanely bad. They should have made it a travel series from day one, like Burma, Argentina... long trips across multiple episodes.

I liked it a lot.
The whining of that supercharged Demon.

And that stopping power of the Senna, in-cre-di-ble for a streetcar.

Lots of typical jokes too as usual.

Cheers

It's been confirmed they got renewed for a season 4.

First episode was great. Back to basics for them.

The wife and I thought the exact same thing. Either the camera angles or the 4k made it appear worse.

Really glad they are back. Clarkson's beer gut seems to have doubled.

Agreed! My son and I watched it together and we
thought it was a pretty good opening for Season 3. And yes, that
Senna was amazing! However, Detroit not so amazing....at least the
outskirts of the city. Sad.
