The BBC has confirmed Top Gear will return in 2016 without Jeremy Clarkson - but who is likely to fill his leather brogues ?

It won't be the same without him. I know he's done wrong but it was a punch.

Nah he made Top Gear and the others have said they are a trio and won't continue.
Hopefully ITV will by the rights so we can have enough of the BBC political correctness.

I think this is the most likely scenario. Personalities make a brand, not a tv station. Top Gear may return with new hosts etc, but the reality is people attach themselves to the personalities and not the name of a show. Therefore, seeing the 3 of them turn up on another tv station doing a similar show with a different name is the most likely scenario. Top Gear will die off and will probably only go the one more season I'm thinking.
