Hammond, Clarkson and May Officially Signed to Amazon for New Series
It's finally official. Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are moving to Amazon to create their next car show. All three presenters, as well as Amazon announced the news this morning on Twitter. According to the Internet giant, the show will start filming almost immediately, with the show premiering in 2016. We have no information beyond that, but using the power of speculation, we can try to figure some things out.

I hope we get MUCH more than 30 episodes from these dudes. Can Clarkson keep from imploding again? How much are they going to try and distance themselves from the Top Gear structure, or are they even going to try at all and this will simply be Top Gear 2.0? I wouldn't care if they copied every single litttle aspect personally, though I could do without the celebrity sitdowns and track competition. That was the only part of Top Gear I didn't really care for. All in all very good news cant wait!!!

Expensive news for me. I'll have to get a new smart TV for my living room... Or at least a new Blu ray player that supports Amazon. Kind of excited. It's one of my favorite shows. I agree with RueBurgundy about the celebrity thing. Skip the big star in a small car bit.

It certainly has to be better than that train wreck "Corvette Nation"!

It's sure to be better than the US version of Top Gear!
