That's almost every decent British publication worth reading...EVO, The Economist, Financial Times, Digital Photographer, etc etc etc...'Murican conspiracy!

Its official , TG has shot themselves in the foot and dropped Clarkson. Guess the show is now dead and jezza James and hamster are taking their talents elsewhere.
BBC America is now off my favorites channel list on my remote .
It was good while it lasted

Again, just because Top Gear did not suit your particular taste, does not make it a bad show. I always saw Fifth Gear, Motor Week, etc appeal more to factual magazine-reporting-style audiences, while Top Gear catered to entertainment comedy one. They had their own niches and never competed directly IMHO

Yes, Gagan doesn't like the new Top Gear.

I still sorta enjoy it, but the last couple years made me wish the show ended a couple seasons after Hammond hit his head.

Person Not even close to being into cars: Dude, did you watch this week's TopGear?!
Me: I don't watch TopGear
Person Not even close to being into cars: Really? But you are into cars!
Me: That show is not about cars

That's like the last 15 years for me on the subject.

Yes, it was when Hammond had a minor bump in that jet powered car.
