Maybe it'll just take time to adjust. The celebrity segment does nothing for me and the hot lapper really gets on my.... It's lacking that someone that never spoke to give it the old effect. Seriously. They could've hired a talking Ben Collins and I'd be far happier.

Towards the end the old Top Gear was dropping off as well. It was always a bit repetitive and adhered to a formula and the best episodes were the specials. I am not sure The Grand Tour was any different but people notice more as their expectations - what with this getting far more attention - were higher.
I've also heard the theory that having a higher budget hurt them as the creativity involved in getting around budget/legal constraints from the BBC was higher than the creativity involved in being able to do what they want.
