I could just as easily see Jezzer in the Viper (just feel that brute powaaaaaaaaaah). But if that's the case, then I think Hamster would probably take the Aston, if for no other reason so that Captain Slow could wax eloquent on the engineering marvels of the LFA.
That having been said, May may want to take the Aston just to prove "the Aston isn't always the worst car to bring on a long road trip". I seem to remember him buying a pillow to prevent his balls from breaking and stripping down to not die from overheating on the "find the greatest driving road in the world" trip.
Clarkson in the Aston, May in the LFA and Hammond in the Viper?
Jezza loved all previous generations of Vipers actually. So my guess is it's Jezza in that, Hammond in Aston (Hamster already hosted the LFA launch review) and then Capt. Slow the LFA.

Typically, though, presenters don't repeat cars; they give them to the others so that they can compare notes and tell each other why they're wrong.
Well, capt slow definetly wouldnt be caught in anything american...
Clarkson loves raw stupid power like the amgs and the ford gt etc but then again hamster has a soft spot for american cars too so you never know..
I think its...
Aston = James May (comfy cruiser, seems like something cpt slow likes)
LFA= Hammond (test drove it and loved it)
Viper= Jeremy ( stupid power, rear drive...something jeremy adores in cars)
It appears that James is in an Aston Martin Vanquish, Jeremy is in the Lexus LFA, and Richard, muscle car lover that he is, will be in a brand new Dodge Viper.
strange.

Heads up for people with access to BBC America, all the new EP's are now airing on BBC America about a week after they air in the UK. And almost every night they have around 6 hours of non stop TG EP's all in HD. Just watched some EP's from 2004, good ol' memories.

I've got BBC Canada, and they're doing the same there; unfortunately they don't distinguish between Top Gear UK and Top Gear America in the listings. Also, a lot of the eps are shortened (to accept ads, and cut out all the Yank-bashing), though some of the eps are extended to 90 minutes to fit ads as well as the full ep (like the arctic and middle east special).

The ads are the unfortunate part because in the UK it's commercial free and they have to trim the EP's here to fit the ads. I noticed they cut the "in the news" segments on some of the EP's and I noticed they bleep a lot of stuff, I guess I can see why they would bleep the word "cock" lol.

They cut the news and a lot of the SiaRPC, because most of the time they're british celebs and us colonials have no clue who they are.
Which is kind of sad, 'cause I've gleaned a lot of British culture/humor/randomness from those little segments. It's 'cause of them that I started liking good ol' Wossy.
Even if they did, they shouldn't post it. But it occurs to me that another name for the Top Gear is the finalgear. I'm pretty sure when you're looking for top gear that's the answer most people will give.
