  • The boys are in California at a deserted desert race track. Jeremy Clarkson is in a Lexus LFA, Richard Hammond the new Dodge Viper and James May in the latest Aston Martin Vanquish. The challenge is to test their cars' handling abilities by dodging an airborne attack from dog fighters in Italian Marchetti planes.

      Huey Freeman & his animated friends
      Lexus is Japanese, they made the brand to sell certain models in America then it became the Luxury off shoot to Toyota, Lexus in its entirety is Japanese, the LFA was designed and Engineered in Japan.
