Ebola's not a joke, Jeremy
Oh brother - nothing is a joke to the PC scolds. That track actually did look like the Ebola virus shown on the show. Anyway, who cares - Clarkson isn't PC and the new show is terrific. Glad to see the three old British guys back talking cars and acting silly - watching the Chris Evans Top Gear was just painful.

Glad to see the “boys” back - even if the diss American cars. And it does resemble the virus.

Doing a speed run in an Ariel Atom without a windscreen isn’t the brightest idea, even if it is quite literally a blast. He could’ve lost a tooth if a windblown beetle had popped him in that flapping maw, lol.

Amen to all of the above - I thought the intro scene with the red, white and blue Shelby Mustangs was done exceptionally well. It made me grin like a little kid; I'm looking forward to more of their antics to lighten my mood in the future. The "Ebola" reference was in keeping with the other long list of dangers attributed to the new track - somehow the PC scolds missed the references to electrocution or being blown up by old, wartime ordnance - go figure. I guess those threats don't primarily impact "minorities".

I love Clarkson (and his sidekicks) but that is something I,at least,wouldn't say.

One of Trump’s first executive orders should be to institutionalize Americans who lack a sense of humor. What a fantastic country we would have after that simple little step.

Title should read "People who've never seen the original Top Gear Offended, Again".

With a few exceptions our cars deserve to be dissed as vanilla plastic-mobiles. A lot of them bear as much resemblance to real cars as Taco Bell does to Mexican cuisine. Most European cars may be garage queens, but they tend to have style and in some cases rock solid engineering. I wouldn’t want to take a Chevy Malibu on the Autobahn or M1 at 120 mph. A Mercedes? It feels like you’re doing 60.

The Grand Tour is Top Gear in 4k.
Really stunning visuals for first show and of preview shows.
The 3 guys make the show plus the camera work.
To: markomalley
Oh, good grief! He called it that, because seen from the air it DOES look like the ebola virus.
Get a grip people, he's a comedian. I thought it was hilarious!

If you noticed, he lost that challenge at the end. Earlier this year his former house was demolished by explosives. Guess we now know why and what to expect in the next episode.
