I thought they needed a presenter not just someone who can drive a car fast.

+1. That's why yer Tiff Needell was so good back in the day. Ex-racing drivers with personality, that's what you need - what's Brundle up to these days?
Mark Evans is annoying, but watchable.
Ed China?
Ross Noble is a great shout.
I reckon it'll be a mixed male/female team.
About time too.
VBH, Suzi P, Jane Omorogbe, Sabine S, etc, all fine by me - good journos/presenters who know their stuff.
Anyone will be an improvement, unless the BBC forgets that it was once very funny and can be again.
I've a horrible feeling it'll end up as caravanning reviews with Kate Silverton, tbh.
Any need for personality of course rules out Nigel Mansell....
Schumacher.

Nowt wrong with Ms Silverton! 8)
Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, they can bake things to eat in cars.

If we can teach him to read an autocue:

It won't be at all funny with Suzi, Sabine or even VBH in though will it?
It'll go "straight" now I reckon. No more buffoonery, more fifth gear (which will see popularity plummet IMHO).
Try and imagine a new format, new style, new content.

Why not?
I've never seen any of them trying to do comedy, maybe they're funny, maybe they aren't?
I'm sure the BBC can find out.
Why not?
Mainly because they're not funny. They are straight presenters.
How about a

I've not [i]seen[/i] them being funny.
But that doesn't mean they can't be.
People can do funny and unfunny, all in one career.
As JC so admirably proved.
🙂
Has anybody mentioned they like Top Gear but its been tired for awhile, yet?
I do wish they would.
That never gets tired, I could listen to it all day.
Jenson Button
It's not even a real hotel.
If we're going with an ex-presenter theme then my money's on Angela Rippon. I think she'd step into JC's shoes perfectly. Or Chris Goffey
ROFL!
VBH for the win though.
I can see her confusing the other two.
In fact, I'm off to the bookies now. They need the business since Cashley effed off to Italy...
Louis Theroux or Sacha Baron Cohen
these 2 are boring enough
Does Rich Hall like cars? I think he does.
I cannot stand VBH even more annoying then Clarkson
George Michael, Andrew Ridgeley and Mark Thatcher?
All well known for their motoring exploits.
everyone mentioned so far is too well known. It needs an outsider. Time for a career change for Hora? his automotive insights would surely fit the "educate, entertain, inform" brief
Zlatan Ibrahimovich would get my shout. Always speaks his mind, just like Clarkson.
Guest presenter each week, with May and Hamster ripping the piss.
Or Molgrips, complete with his 'Friday Passat' 😯 😀

That's a good idea then let people vote to see which one makes the cut. A league table of sort like the timing on the reasonable car.

i'd put money on all 3 of them being sucked in by Channel 5 and re branding the show.
VBH + Sabine Schmitz + [b]Damon Hill[/b] FTW 🙂

Channel 5 could never afford one of them them let alone three. Sky maybe could, and Clarkson is already on Murdock's payroll. They'd need to be sure they could keep a lid on him though given all the damage limitation News International has been having to do of late - he's more value to them as a liability to the beeb than as an asset on sky. I'm sure Richard Keys can keep a seat warm for him at Talksport though.
Got to be Sky,
The hagiography in yesterday's Times was an indication of how highly they think of him.
Channel 5 could never afford them.
Viacom own C5 now, so they might be able to afford him... but they probably wouldn't want to (wrong demographic).
Sky apparently view him as a poisoned chalice and are not interested.
Would be good to see the BBC re-launch the show with all new faces and a less UKIP mentality. Maybe change the subject matter too. Make it about cakes or something.

Really? Linky?
Or cars?
I'd watch that.
