Hmmm. Yeah, 3 seasons does change the equation. That still means, though, that they're looking at Game Of Thrones money for a variety show about cars.

To be successful it has to convert $80m worth of people to Prime. At $100 per year, that basically means they need Clarkson et. al. to add a million prime subscribers. At best-guess 40m Prime subscribers that's a 3% uptick or so.

I dunno. They might get that, but I doubt it. Amazon straight-up doesn't understand streaming or else they wouldn't try so hard to make me watch Mozart in the Jungle on a fricking fire stick.
