That's probably why Matt has been chosen, to help the new top gear uk in America. Also he is familiar to uk top gear viewers as he has appeared on top gear a few times plus of course friends & episodes to shows

*cough* not a motoring journalist *cough*
But hey, it's something different, maybe it will work.

Bringing in a comedy actor hints at desperation...

^ But, hey, he's a worldwide 'name' - so that makes everything all right then!

Hmmm, let's see. He's not a porn star, or a hate figure, and will appeal to a wider audience than just your granny
I can see why they've done it. Chris Evans is a nobody outside these shores.
He'll either be great at it, or he'll bomb. I guess we'll just have wait and see.

The opinion piece in today's Guardian points out that this announcement is the BBC nailing their colours to the mast that the new TG will have a different gentler , warmer, humour and tone from the Clarkson era. Le Blanc remains easy on the feminine eye; it appears TG can no longer afford to neglect the blunt appeal to a female audience.
Two tiny production titbits from what was otherwise the usual retread in yesterdays Guardian:
Le Blanc wasn't present at yesterday's "production meeting" in some London pub.
BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the corporation, set to unveil the new-look show for the first time at its biggest annual event in a crucial pitch to more than 700 international TV buyers.
Evans, and now perhaps LeBlanc, is to front the official unveiling of the show later this month in a PR offensive that aims to secure sales of the show to maintain it as a crown jewel international franchise worth £50m annually to the BBC."
This is the event they are talking about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldwide/2016/bbc-worldwide-unveils-world-class-content-slate-for-40th-annual-showcase-event
EDIT to add Evan's tweeted picture of this as it features motoring journalist Chris Harris. The Telegraph think that confirms him a presenter on the show.

Fastest driver on the star with a reasonable car or what ever it's called and also fronted a BBC America Top Gear Race Special so he has some history with TG. Will reserve judgement until I see it.
