Hammond, MaY And Clarkson To Face Off Against Top Gear - Which Would You Place Money On?

Talk is cheap and lies are expensive, so here goes: since Top Gear as we know it got the boot, Jeremy Clarkson and his two amigos were rumored to sign a deal for a new show with two favorite broadcasters - ITV in the UK or Netflix in the US.
