But Matt LeBlanc is now leaving the BBC's hit motoring show to spend more time with his friends and family.
Viewers are split on whether it's a good or bad thing for the series - which we'll get to in a sec.
But first - who might fill the Blanc space?
- James Martin, former Saturday Kitchen presenter
James is a car fanatic who has expressed interest in the job before, and would have room for a new TV gig, having stepped down from Saturday Kitchen in 2016.
- Guy Martin, motorbike racer and TV presenter
Guy turned down a personal invitation from Chris Evans to co-host the show last time around, but that hasn't stopped bookies from making him one of the favourites to join the show now.
- Jenson Button, racing driver
As a former Formula One world champion, he certainly has experience and credibility on his side - and, like Matt LeBlanc, is internationally recognisable, which would help attract foreign viewers.
- Jodie Kidd, race car driver and TV presenter
Jodie has appeared on Top Gear as a guest on several occasions. With impeccable TV and driving credentials, now could be the perfect time to take the reins.
- Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, stars of The Trip
Both Steve and Rob are petrolheads and have star power outside of the car world.
- Rebecca Jackson, presenter and motoring journalist
Rebecca has experience presenting motoring shows like Fifth Gear and has done reviews for Telegraph Cars and What Car.
- Dermot O'Leary, general national treasure
The X Factor host is one of British TV's biggest names, and has a relationship with the BBC in the shape of his Radio 2 programme and his recent TV coverage of the royal wedding.
- Philip Glenister, Life On Mars actor
Philip was reportedly in "advanced talks" to join Top Gear in 2015, although he didn't make it to the final line-up.
- Suzi Perry, sport and motoring presenter
Suzi has already hosted the BBC's Formula One coverage - so this could now be her chance to get into the driving seat herself.
