I've read they're shopping the show to other networks. All the guys will end up together again!

The three of them and the show are TOO valuable!

Agreed. I read another network was already wanting to put something together. I don't know if things are still BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 over the pond. Whatever, those guys had chemistry and TopGear without Clarkson wont be the same.

Rumor has it that Netflix is interested in the threesome.

By the end of last season, maybe even earlier, Top Gear felt like it had really run its course.

The show became more about the show than about cars.

It was fun while it lasted. Most of the time, anyway.

Agree. The show became a circus show rather than a car show. Fifth gear is much better

"...it's been an incredible ride together..."

Dan (thinks past tense from Hammond suggests someone didn't like being called hamster and the trio is done)

I agree. I still watch but the show has lost some of it's appeal. As for Clarkson, he was not my favorite of the presenters. Being opinionated or politically incorrect is one thing, but punching someone at work is going to get you fired almost anywhere.

Enjoyed the trio, but they did get sidetracked at times.
