I can read, thanks Rob.


My point is that they're creating a site with "tribes"... and articles. It sounds like Jalopnik except articles written by Hammond instead of Tavarish.

Well they had to pick something other than Top Gear. So it was always going to be different.

the thing I don't like is that the name has nothing to do with cars... you can stretch the argument that Grand Tour or GT is a popular trim or a type of car, but like I said its a stretch

It has something to do with the format though, or at least Clarkson et al claim that.

Each show is in a different location... hence the Grand Tour.

Was Top Gear ever really a car show?

The new one will too. But the entertainment had relatively little to do with being a "car show". It was 3 guys who did silly things with cars that were generally entertaining.
