I think that honestly this year they would have given up, if not prior. They aren't even doing studio performances in their own show The Grand Tour anymore, so the show may have gone with a major rebrand now if the circumstances of them quitting wasn't so abrupt and on such unfortunate / terms. I just feel sad for the people who won't grow up with the 2002 - 2015 Top Gear like us. It's okay now, but they're still trying to make it in the C/H/M formula.

The 2000 intro somehow looks more 90's than the 1999 intro...

I remember thinking the 2012 intro had a cool new look, I was only 8 at the time. The 2002 intro is the one i immediately think when i think of top gear with trio.

There is something about that thumbnail that gives me the creeps slightly.

2011 with their silhouettes, and the trio silhouette at the end...Perfection 2014 tried to remaster it, but the background scenes are not as catchy as 2011's

The fact that they skip the “Tonight:” bit in the newer intros, and that they removed the gear is disgusting, now its just a math show with car jokes

The 2011 intro is most nostalgic to me

Why am I nostalgic for decades that I never was even conceived in...

I love how the first one had the family-friendly country cooking-show vibe to it

First episode I sought out was Race To The North (the race starring Tornado, the then newly-built Peppercorn A1), and I've been loving these guys' work since. Long Live May, Hammond & Clarkson!

1999 intro just hits so hard W the bass After Vibing to the older ones

WELCOME TO BOTTOM GEAR MATES!

2:32 I genuinely thought that the thumbnail was just a meme version. Turns out that it really actually is in the video 🤣🤣

the best TG theme song is the 2014 one, with the outlines of Hammond, May, and Clarkson, and the car train, the Marauder, all of the iconic cars, just chefs kiss, and that to me was Hammond, May, and Clarkson's theme, they made that theme song recognizable ANYWHERE

Come on you can't lie, you know the 2011 intro is the best and most iconic intro of the Old Top Gear!

2:31 What the hell is this horrifying monstrosity?

Imagine someone started watching in the 70s and is now a “top gear intro veteran”

3:28 The way that car’s headlights twinkle in time with the music is perfect

Driving in the 90s was better because there was far less traffic, but only 10% less road capacity.

I absolutely love the 1999 version! 🌟

The original song is called ‘Jessica’ by the Allman Brothers Band

1993 gives me nostalgia to something that i never experianced

This has to be the best car show ever

The top gear intro never gets old 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️⚙️

This show has the best intro of all time, all of them are just perfect. Sir you made my day today, thank you a lot!

the 2000s intro was absolutly so 2000s . Like the Windows XP madonna commercial

The 2014 iteration is easily the most iconic.

Modern Top Gear doesn’t deserve the legacy of the intro

Funny thing is, when the first intro was done "jessica" (the theme song) was a new song. It's like the new top gear using an edd sheeran song

1999 music with the 1986 intro would be the most 80s video of all times

The 1977 and 1986 intros make me want to drive a Volkswagen Bus to Boston to find a retired author and take him to a Red Sox game in which the Scoreboard talks about a baseball player who played 1inning in one game in 1922

Jesus, even the energy of the intro goes after the mates went.

I love this show

top gear in 1977 be like: oh this automotive has a splendit velocity of 23 km/h, truly a scrumptios piece of engeneering

The 1977 remids me of those 70s 80s 90s summer parties

The 1993 intro is the best imo.

2011 was definitely the most nostalgic

is it me or the 2016 one looks like a powerpoint presentation?

The end section of the theme in the seventies until mid to late 80's is a great musical number by Elton John from his 'Blue Moves' Album, called 'Out Of The Blue' Its great !!

Got chills every time when the song starts lol

The 2002 version of the song is definitely the one people recognze most since they pretty much never changed it beyond that year, however the 2011 and 2014 intro syles are likely the most recognizable with the graphics and clips used. What a show, went from a humble guide to cars of the market both new and old to something so, so much bigger than I think anyone ever anticipated.

This is totally not annoying after 19 times of watching,

1993 intro was by far the coolest

I like the vibes of 2002 top gear intro song

URGHE they put a Fiat Multipla in the intro???

2011 best year for top Gear rip

Sad to think that 2011 ver. was the peak of this show After that it started it's dying But still im happy that this show became a huge part of my teenage

The absolute golden era of top gear was season 19, 20 and 21. By far the best in every way, from funny intros to GEnius creations and great stars
