Just watched the first episode of Amazon's The Grand Tour under the new generation of presenters. Considerably younger than their predecessors (they all look about 15 to me, but I do realise I am an old fart well past my own 'best before' date) they seem an engaging trio with an unsurprising level of enthusiasm obviously aimed at a younger demographic than before.
First show had the trio playing about in three petrol powered reactions to the electric invasion - Ford Mustang, C8 Corvette and a 2000+ HP Hennessy Venom. As part of their antics they got Jenson Button to try them all (he liked the Mustang).
Inevitably the format has echoes of the Clarkson, May and Hammond eras of both Top Gear and The Grand Tour, but does at last seem to have the potential to break new ground in the future.
If you've seen it, what were your impressions?
