    That was the rumour, but untrue according to Clarkson.

    When can we expect the new series to stream on Amazon Video this year?

    Re: Top gear moves to Amazon

    I wont be buying prime because of Top Gear. I got bored of Top Gear a while ago, same layout of the show. Which yes, people love, but it got boring for me.

    I wont be buying prime either. I don't watch a great deal of TV.

    I like the things from The Smoking Tire and Chris Harris on Cars, oh and Petrolicious as well as Mighty Car Mods. I think if there was a show between those 4 channels on youtube I'd pay to watch that.

    I've been contemplating a Prime membership for the free shipping and other perks so this is just icing on the cake.

    My understanding is later Summer, early Autumn. I don't believe a firm date has been set yet.

    Re: Top gear moves to Amazon

    Can't say I care much about where JC has ended up.

    We all know Top Gear hasn't been a serious motoring show in decades, but "herp derp I'm too thick to plug in this cable" doesn't make me think "lolz that Jezza, what a card", it makes me think "no thanks". Similarly for the "let's run this Tesla around in circles to drain the battery so we can fake the low range" incident. I'm not interested in a car show with JC at the helm, and am more interested in the new BBC Top Gear roster.

    The whole point of a show like Top Gear is that it needs to inform but also to entertain. With JC, Hammond, and the other one now gone, I think the BBC will struggle with the new Top Gear. I see many people ditching the licence fee and going over and signing up for Amazon Prime.
