Amazon’s new Top Gear finally has a name (and it’s kind of meh)

Featuring the former hosts of the BBC car show Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, The Grand Tour will soon make its debut on Amazon Prime.
Yep, The Grand Tour.

Here's what Clarkson had to say:
“Thing is, we'll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent. It's a sort of 'grand tour', if you like. So we've decided to call it 'The Grand Tour'.”
We see what you did there.
"I wanted to call it ‘Nigel’, or ‘Roger’. We needed a name, and they're names," said May.
Such jokers.

"After nine months of deep thought, debate and deliberation, the guys have come up with a name that reflects the global ambition of the new show. The Grand Tour will be one of the most anticipated TV launches ever, and we’re excited to be bringing it to Amazon Prime customers around the world this autumn,” said Jay Marine, vice president of Amazon video Europe.
As some conspiracy theorist fans have pointed out, the letters of the new title are the inverse of its predecessor – GT/TG. What does that mean? We have no idea.
