It’s safe to say that there is one prominent view out there.
While several fans of the legendary motor show desired and, at some stage, expected it, many will be shocked at Chris Evans’ sudden announcement that he is quitting the series.
Despite the 50-year-old claiming that the new look show was doing well, a plethora of viewers disagreed with that view as early as the very first episode.
Now that the news has broken, people have taken to Twitter in their droves and, it’s safe to say that on the same day Nigel Farage announced his decision to step down as the UKIP leader, that the reaction has been strong.
Take a look…
Chris Evans resignes from Top Gear: I'm applying for the job – from the handle bars of my bike!

Must pop down the job centre just to see the ads in the window: PM, Ukip leader, Top Gear presenter.

At this rate everyone in England will have chucked in their jobs by August.

Farage would be perfect for Top Gear. Road test of the new Morris Oxford, latest chamois leather driving gloves and tartan travel rugs.

Lol. BBC must just stop the Top Gear production. What a disaster the series has become.
