Have you seen any of the new seasons?  I genuinely enjoyed season 25 and am excited for season 26 to premier on BBC America.  Matt Leblanc is a genuine car guy and I enjoy Chris Harris.  Rory Reid plays the millennial part to hokey but he's a nice punching bag for them once in awhile.  I couldn't even say I have a favorite season.  Favorite episodes for sure but I don't know about whole seasons.

For the record:. I hate the show Friends.  I thought I'd hate Matt Leblanc because of this and I couldn't be my wrong. 

I have seen several episodes of the new seasons, I just can't get past Matt LeBlanc. I'll find where to watch the new ones and give it another shot. Yes, Chris Harris is fun to watch and he is way better at talking and acting on his feet. Matt just comes off as this stiff board the whole time.

I've always like kind of the middle of the pack ones. Not too early in the show and not right before the main hosts left.

This link gives you cars they reviews, guests they had, and challenges they did.

Oh so sad. Those are like all the episodes that you could stream for free on Amazon before they starting charging for them. I made my wife watch the Reliant Robin episode and she was laughing the whole time.

I think what I'm realizing is there is no right answer to this and every season is great. Maybe I'll start at the beginning.

I bought the Bolivia episode yesterday to watch, and while I enjoy watching the Grand Tour, it's not the same. I forgot how great Top Gear was with them.
