Rowan Atkinson is a petrol head. A funny man too, but in a much more intelligent kind of way. He would be good for the show I think.
I may be wrong but I’m sure that I read somewhere that when he’s not acting he has a bad stammer so he may not be the best as a presenter. Have you ever seen him interviewed on a talk show? I can’t recall it myself.

.... The person that came to mind was Chris Tarrant.
The Freddy and Paddy show might be just a bit too manic and northern. They both occupy a similar 'space'; might need a bit more contrast. Each is OK ish on his own - but together?
"So, which one of the four cars you drove on our Top Grear track was your favourite?....."
"Ooh, I'd say the Mercedes AMG. Power. Control.. etc..."
"Final answer?"
"Wrong show"
"Bugger...."

I like Top Gear, old presenters (and on Grand Tour) and recent. I only hope that this doesn't turn out to be just a series of silly stunts. The trailer is not encouraging on that front.
Is there anything more silly than banging your car and doors into someone else’s car every time you meet up? It’s been silly evert since Clarkson, Hammond and May took over (I do for the most part find it watchable though)
I watched the Christmas Special and the new people were ok all the while they weren’t trying to ape the banter of Clarkson and co. Unfortunately they were a lot of the time.
They need to find their own style. Ideally they’d also introduce things that weren’t there previously, taking it into a slightly different direction.
