I can't say I hate it. But it has gone down hill a bit, it's not even very funny anymore.
But a mixture of old and new would be good.

Watching them play about with caravans on train tracks = zzzzzzzzz
Watching them test cars on their track = 
It's the shitty Last Of The Summer Wine bullshit that has ruined it.

No I'd rather watch an episode from circa 2005-2006 when they were still making a decent show.
It's not the format I have a problem with, it's the fact that it's shite.

No reason why there couldn't be a mix of interesting stuff and faffing.
I like the journeys where they have good cinematography, watching some of it on a projector is stunning. Not sure it should go completely back to 90s standards, but some of the old stuff is interesting as well.

shouldnt change the cast it would destroy it, fair enough it isnt as funny or good as it used to be , but if u changed the cast it would totally fuck it up.

As much as people say its scripted i think its funny as hell especially the comments jizza and may make.
Hammond isnt funny at all and he acts like he wants jizzys job when he retires.

Cheap car challenges, specials like botswana etc and reviewing cars that people are likely to purchase.
Thats all i like to watch tbh, 'star' in a reasonably priced car is boring.

James May's features are usually good. I like his solo series too.

May & Clarkson are funny, Hammond tries too hard.
Star in a Reasonably Priced car is boring 90% of the time, except when they have somebody who's actually a Star and half interesting, like Rowan Atkinson
Need more stuff with proper cars in, and the odd 'normal' cars like the ones we would all buy, but I enjoy the show anyway

ditch richard hammond, ditch star in a reasonably priced car, do more car reviews and in depth analysis, keep the odd world challenge (especially liked the one with the aston martin, porsche and lambo)

Last top gear I watched was about a Clio a Fiat 500 and a Citroen DS3?! Are they not normal cars?
Would you really want to watch the new Scenic get taken through it's paces?! Thought not

If you wanna watch in depth Shit about the new Focus watch 5th gear.
Top gear is what it is. An entertainment show. It appeals to both petrol heads and normal folk alike.
The BBC ain't gonna change shit cos some people off the internetz whinge about it.

I'd hate it if they started doing geeky, serious reviews about family cars. That would be a proper yawn fest!
