Another One of The Grand Tour’s Weak Segments is Being Canned

The “Celebrity Brain Crash” segment from The Grand Tour‘s first season won’t make a return.

Like all new shows, The Grand Tour had its highs and lows last year despite having three seasoned vets in Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May at the helm. We have already learned The American won’t be making a return for the second season and now a new video has been released, promising real celebrities that won’t die and might actually make it onto the show.

Although the new video isn’t a trailer for the second season, it does show the trio haven’t lost their sense of humor and their penchant for hijinks.

While thinking on how to replace its Celebrity Brain Crash segment, Clarkson in all his infinite wisdom, came up with a new spin on a car celebrity guests can drive. The behind-the-scenes video reveals a possible alternative that features a “Half-a-Romeo” and well, it has questionable results.

Look for the second season of The Grand Tour to be available on Amazon Prime Video starting December 8.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
