  1. Both. They are both too good in their respective realms. The Mach 1 doesn't pretend to be comfy and luxurious; just raw sound and speed. Love it. The RC-F is peak Japanese GT. A bulletproof luxo-cruiser with the hard edge dialed up to 10. Love it. "stang around town, RC-F for road trips.

  2. I really feel sad for this generation. They spend more time fussing about the smartphone part of the car and totally ignoring the AWESOME CAR part of the car. All manufacturers should go back to single DIN AM/FM head unit and be done with it.

  3. Mazda all day long. 2020 Palisades and Tellurides now showing up in the used off-lease market and they are exactly what you'd expect to see in a three year old Hyundai or Kia. Rattling parts, worn trim; headed straight for the "Buy Here Pay Here" lot by 2025 just the same as any other Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. Japan has already forgotten more about building cars than Korea will ever know.

  4. The RAV4 Prime and this is really all the car 80% of humanity needs (most don't even need the luxury of the Lexus but some of us like to have really nice things). They'll last for 20 years and you wont even have to think about it; they just run.

  5. That 400Kg is the BMW actually containing a luxurious interior made of fine materials; I'll have the things that make humans feel better thank you. Seriously? The frunk? You can put your pistol in the glovebox----better there anyway.

  6. The Grand Wagoneer slaps the thing silly on the interior and luxury. I know the Jeep will fall apart in 6 years, but while it's new it is far better than this in almost every way.

  7. Ummm, yeah on day 1 you will think "wow, this is just like a Volvo XC90 with a $30K discount!". By day 400 or 500, you'll think "now I know why it cost $30K less than the Volvo XC90". You get what you pay for.

  8. Where is it "underrated"? Not in the US; still have markups on them since they came out. I was about to order a PMC one but the word on the street was they were coming in with a $10K markup making it a $70K car. Forget that. Now, you can get a '21 with low miles in the $40K range and that is about right as the car was a bit overpriced to begin with. The only real downside to this is the mpg is below average; the M340i can average about 32 mpg where this can only average about 22 mpg in the real world.

  9. For $24K, no I am not shocked it is FWD only. Not only does it keep the price down, it keeps the weight down too. 162 lb ft at 2500 rpm is enough for a vehicle that weighs 3100 lbs.

  10. If you watched "Speed Racer" as a child, the only SUVs you should be driving are the Stelvio or Levante...

  11. ..or you can just give your buddy one of the goddam fucking keys. I can't wait until this smartphone shyte era ends...

  12. Nah, get a Stelvio. You'll be much happier. Or get a Grecale and be ecstatic.

  13. So funny to watch all these guys who weren't born when the Fox body 'Stang was made driving them with joy. I can assure you I found NO 1971-era cars appealing AT ALL when I was 30...

  14. When those interior bits break or wear out in 2032 and the owner can get them at any Dodge store (or from any number of junked 300Cs), instead of ordering them from Italy for $500, he or she will be very happy.

  15. A less attractive Stelvio rip-off?? No thanks...

  16. Thank God in heaven BMW has chosen to just put a bloody electric motor in their existing designs----you know the ones we already like. You don't have to make a new car "look at meee, I am the future!!" all stupid and ugly looking just to be your "EV" model! Its a motor, just put it in there in place of the gas one! Make the car normal! Make the door handles normal! Make the steering wheel normal! Don't make me learn a new stupid OS just to turn up the volume! Don't put a 42-inch plasma in the middle of the dash where the corners bang my knees! Stop "fixing" isht that was never broken! The human body has not changed, just the motors in our cars!!

  17. Jag..... didn't even have to watch the vid.

  18. Too much Continental------no issue with them, I'm rolling on their tires right now. However one of the best parts of Youtube car reviews was that "amateur" feeling; the reality of a person who is just giving you how they feel without any association with a corporate entity. Now you guys are wearing Continental jackets?? Wish you well in your corporate endeavors but no more of this channel for me...

  19. That is a really good looking car. I don't want an EV but if I were forced to drive one I'd be OK with this, as it has a hooded binnacle IP and knobs and buttons for basic functions. EVs are finally becoming a "car" instead of some weirdo vision of "the future"[TM]
