I'll give this a shot, i did like the bits of last season that didnt have evans in.
Fair play to the bloke for having the nonce to know when he's beat

His videos are excellent, but it's like someone at TG asked him to turn up the silly factor or something. The BMW M2 video he did springs to mind. Hopefully he returns more to his own style this season.
Hopefully this season is better, not only with Chris Evans not being in it, but also because in the last series it seemed like they were trying to 'get one over' on the previous cast, I think they mentioned how they got custody of the Stig a couple of times, and a few other digs were used. They also didn't seem to work well as a team as Chris Evans had to be at the centre of everything and shout about it.

For me that video is gone? Maybe this one -
I notice it actually has a lot of thumbs down at the moment, (3,500 up to 1,500 down) which seems odd?
The comments are mainly positive, but one does mention 'Why still the Top Gear hate? Evans is gone, get over it'.

Looking forward to this. If it's mostly these three guys running the show it should be good.

There's a big army of neanderthals that seem to think the only thing that can exist is the Grand Tour, so therefore everything Top Gear related must be nuked into oblivion. Odd people.
Matt LeBlanc personally I think is the best we are ever going to get in terms of keeping the spirit of old Top Gear while not just aping the old presenters or taking it in a completely new direction.
Chris Harris's car segments are excellent but in the studio very hit and miss, great one moment, unengaging the next - he really needs someone other than LeBlanc to play off and I don't feel him and Reid work.
Rory Reid I don't really feel on the main TG - I liked the Extra Gear stuff some decent bite sized segments that were good for watching on the commute, etc. but IMO it has to be either him or Harris on the main show and then someone else that really works with whichever one and LeBlanc to really take the show to the level it needs to be and TBH I would pick Harris over Reid but I suspect a lot of people would have a different opinion over which one of the two.

+1 on the I dont find Rory that entertaining in a factual or humorous way as i do the other 2 and find his personality a tad bland.

This looks good off that trailer alone. It doens't need to do much now without Evans to beat Season 1 of TGT seeing as that was pretty meh
