Matt's a good dude, legit gear head who researches his own stuff opposed to buying or building what everyone else does, how many people get 19.5" wheel and tire packaged for a 3/4 ton truck, note 19.5" not brotastic 21.5". He ensures that he gets a ton of seat time and is fast in part to that. I look forward to seeing it.

Resident Ex-Pat here. Tom told me this yesterday via e-mail.
At first I was
Then I thought about it and I'm fine with it. He's got the ability to play a cross between the angry Jezza and the child like Hamster. It's going to be interesting how they script the charachters and if they stick to the old three plus Stig or if they go to four, or two constant and one rotating member? I though it was confirmed that Chris Harris had been signed too. If that's the case and they stick with the old Shtick it could be:
Chris Evan = Buffoon (Jezza)
Matt L = puppy dog (HAmster)
Chris Evans = Gentleman geek (May)
In other related news did anyone see people are calling for Amazon to sack Clarkson after he made some stupid idiotic remarks about a transgender child who is the friend of a friend of his?

It boggles my mind to see how many people read a snippet of that article and went nuts. Nothing but social justice warriors looking for their next outrage. If you read the whole thing, he concludes with this:
Clarkson went on to imagine what it might be like for a woman living in a man's body or a man living in a woman's body. "It would be dreadful. Absolutely awful," he concluded. "And all they seem to want to make their life better is a third gender option box on official documents. That's not really the end of the world for everyone else, is it?"
How terrible of him.

Sabine Schmitz, Rory Reid, Eddie Jordan and Chris Harris will all also be joining the cast. Throw in The Stig, and the new Top Gear has what they are calling “The Magnificant Seven.”
That's a lot of people.

I'm guessing Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc will be the main cast with Shris Harris almost full time then the others coming and going as needed.
My guess is Evans and Leblanc in studio Sabine and Harris doing the driving films and car reviews and a mix of all of them doing challenges.
That sounds like a brilliant move--because Clarkson, May, and Hammond were all to big to replace 1 to 1.
Yeah, I anticipate that they will use more of a revolving cast now. All these folks have other jobs, as far as I know, so they may not be available all the time. With six of them, they can still produce episodes if Sabine is off at a race or LeBlanc is filming his other show or whatever else they are doing. Plus, it should keep things fresher to have more people involved. Of course it won't be the same, but that doesn't automatically mean it will be bad.
