      I strongly disagree. The narration part drives me crazy, he's clearly reading someone else's words off a script aimed at people who know nothing about cars. Everything is over explained and incase you're blind and missed the knob joke they added in a "whoops". The soul of his youtube vids is completely lost, British this and British that, that's fine, but that's Clarkson, not Chris Harris.

      adrian5b your right , top gear is said to be worth 300 million ponds as a brand , and and that's not considering the 200 million pounds merchandiseing industry it fuel's , Chris is just a good UA-camr who I love but he is in no way capable of lifting that weight , this show has enough money to hire A list actors and professional racers . The show is viewed in hundreds of countries, they need someone who was as loved as the old hosts ,

    The new top gear is not half as good as it used to be, but this review was amazing. Now, I like the Grand Tour better than today's Top Gear, but this was the better review of the Vulcan. There are to many people hating on one show or the other, but the truth is, for real car fans it doesn't really matter. We're getting more content than ever before, and both shows must do their best to compete against each other. That can only be good for us, is it not?

    I am really not TG nuthugger, but CH did much better job here. Straight to the point. Drove the car like it should be driven and present it. Clarkson totally wasted first half of review with stupidity around practicality and seeing his "old-fart" entry in car. Im big fan of british humor but that was not funny. Maybe to some 10yr old. This is car which competes with Zonda R, FXX-K, P1 GTR and you start review with practicality?!? And in the end, especially with these types of cars, CH is far better driver than anyone else in TG (except Stig) or GT (not really fan of that US guy). I hope BBC will support CH on these reviews and leave Matt to think on ways to entertain us, but I wont be sad if I do not see CH making stupid jokes.

    • @ohtbone
      @ohtbone 7 років тому +3

      I Honestly don't think Chris did better. After this review, I learnt that this car is very fast, light and loud. That's pretty much it. The few details he added about the origin of the name and the Honda engines aren't that substantial.
      After Jeremy's review, this is what I learnt:
      *What Chris said (fast and loud)
      *Not road legal (The cars you mentioned above are, so not in the same category)
      *How much it costs
      *The price affords you travel to any racetrack + a team that'll tweak it to your preferences and teach you how to drive it at its max power
      *No handbrake
      *Difficult to get into if you're fat or big (I guess Jeremy = fat and The Rock = Big)
      *Noisy breaks
      *Detachable steering wheel
      *Windows don't wind down
      *No accessories whatsoever
      Yeah, i know that some of the stuff I added there are unnecessary and just makes me seem like I'm biased towards Jeremy, but my point is that i think we all learnt a lot more about the car from Jeremy than we did from Chris. Chris was just going on about how good it is instead of giving an actual car review

    Now here's an opinion that will make some people mad:
    This little bit of actual car driving is better than what I've seen of Grand Tour as of yet. And better than the rest of new Top Gear's content, as well. Chris is, simply put, amazing. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but Gran Tour feels really forced to me... May hating the sound of the Dodge in the latest episode just seemed so... Dishonest. I know it's supposed to be a show, but rather than doing stupid gags like painting fake pictures, I'd like it if they focused on the cars.

    • @jackwhorton6826

      Grand Tour is shite. New Top Gear is shite. Old top gear went shite somewhere along the way. Right around the time they started using faked "races" and "challenges" to pad the show out to an hour. I don't want to watch a "race" that takes up 80% of the episode, when it's obviously not real, since the Range Rover with the cameraman in the back, stayed with Jeremy the whole way. In effect, Top Gear has spent around 15 hours of screen time, racing various forms of transport against a Range Rover full of people, cameras, spares, and food/drink.

    Actually, this car engine was a co-development between Porsche and Ford in the past before two was grafatated by Aston Martin to create a V12 and develop extensively to now sound like this. It is a well design engine. It sound amazing, because it came from a strong foundation and the legacy keeps growing.
