I thought this special was just OK. Some great scenery and some cool shots of sports cars going way off road, but it felt too contrived and not all that "epic" compared to some others. It was pretty obvious they were going offroad just for the sake of going offroad, and it was generally too long. I think it's the length that's let down a couple of recent specials--James said the Source of the Nile trip was his favorite ever but it felt similar to this one, with a lot of dead time. The 75 minute specials worked better, with more action packed in.
I'm also not convinced that this is the end of Top Gear; the presenters seem to be in better moods than they were a few years ago. Jeremy has had a bounce in his step lately, and Richard is a lot more fun and outgoing than he was for several years following the crash. He doesn't just get angry and mumble anymore.
