It's back, and guess what? It's good again!

It's got an all new look both in the studio and the opening credits and it's went back to the classic three presenter format. Matt, Rory and Chris have got great chemistry and the new segments work really well. I loved the reliability challenge and it had me laughing hard at times.

Now we've got two great car shows to enjoy!

I'd hesitate to use good, I'd probably stick with "promising" at this point. Some of the scripted banter was just plain awkward (mostly with McAvoy) and it still feels a bit like a tribute act, but there's definitely seeds of something there which hopefully allow it to become its own thing and be entertaining in the coming weeks.

Quite enjoyed it - seemed to be fun.

I thought it was almost as bad as the Chris Evans season, I'll probably watch another episode just to be sure then give up on it again (the cars are fun enough but the presenters just aren't cutting it)

It still feels forced, doesn't it? I thought it felt forced at times too. But chemistry takes time to develop. Early episodes of the C.M.H era were like that too. It takes time to develop chemistry. I'm going to give them a chance.
