Christian Slater - bet they can't get him tho'.
If Ezra Dyer is not a part of this show, that would be the biggest crime of the century. He is the American Top Gear all on his own. I hope they pick up a copy of Automobile magazine and read his columns. He is a younger, more handsome, American Jeremy Clarkson.
Come on, read this stuff and tell me its not Clarkson-esque!

I am going to have to give a +1 for that. That guy definitely knows what he's talking about, and definitely knows that pissing people off is necessary sometimes. I'd support it. Boring Tanner whatever his name is can be dumped without a gripe from me.
and his best article yet:

Dan Patrick wearing this http://iloveracing.ru/content/danica-patrick-fhm-4.jpg would make me watch !
I personally don't think Tanner Faust is unbearably bad, hes just a bit boring (which is still bad). He knows enough about cars that if somebody taught him how to write (err, maybe not so easy, but lets just say) he would probably be at least as interesting as Hammond.
Tiff was so enthusiatic about spazcar, I was surpised that he had so many good things to say about it. The interview they did of the only British spazcar driver, I forgot his name... haha... he seemed like an interesting type to be on TV.
If they get a driver, then who will be captain slow??

The chemistry of the three hosts is probably more important than the individual strengths of the third host.
I wonder how Alex Roy would do? He did kind of choke when he was on Letterman, but his coast to coast drive gives him major cred in my book.
I don't know about Priestley, he always seemed annoying when narrating "Rides".
What about Brock Yates? I don't think he would sugar coat reviews. He might even piss a few people off.
Good point. I didn't catch that... maybe cuz I wanted to believe Tiff wasn't a sell out.Tiff was only enthusiastic about NASCAR because Five inked a deal to show NASCAR races in England and were trying to build excitement. It was a complete BS sell-out move. I don't blame Tiff but his employers and the NASCAR money grabbers.
Ezra Dyer.. yes... that would be very interesting indeed.
Alex Roy.... I'm biased because I work with him... but... that would be cool
Who else do we know that has some form of on camera presense in the U.S. market? Any internet shows that we are turning a blind eye too?
