I’d like to say that I fell in love with this new opening sequence from the first frame – but truth be told, I didn’t. It’s not a bad song by any means; I just don’t think it’s an improvement on the first.
Ah, well – since when have we been obsessed with OPs and EDs anyway? (The first smart arse to throw in a pithy comment on that clearly rhetorical question will receive a shiny new triple-stack bump on the head, Ritsu-style.) The real deal is the new episode itself, and if it’s anything like the original material it’s going to be a real treat all around.

It’s hard to improve on the allure of the original cult favourite. Hare Hare Yukai had much more of an impact on me than Bouken Deshou Deshou did, so I’d say Super Driver is better. It definitely isn’t bad, but actually I don’t quite care either way.
@Summonmaster: HHY pretty much overpowers BDD in my book as well (though I like both). As you say, Super Driver isn’t a bad song; I’m just not that into it. And I doubt it will inspire a lot of badly choreographed dance sketches.
(Of course, I could be wrong. The Haruhi fandom cannot be underestimated.)

I definitely like a nice OP and ED. But if it stinks I can just skip it, so like you said no big deal. Some of my favorite anime series have openings that just grate against me all wrong. I wasn’t expecting the 2nd opening to be as addicting as the first, it’s very hard to top something that the fans have gone so wild over.
