To some extent, and I imagine much more on the UK show, the writers and hosts collaborate to come up with the dialog. I can't imagine the ego of Clarkson would allow the writers complete control over what he says when reviewing the car. Sure, the vast majority is written but some is definitely ad-libbed.
