  1. The reincarnation of the Toyota Matrix

  2. That JATCO CVT transmission is now completely fried from the acceleration testing and will grenade itself in the next couple thousand miles. MAZDA OR TOYOTA, PEOPLE! Avoid the Nissan/JATCO CVT ⚠⚠⚠⚠

  3. Nissan! Infiniti! These brands have a horrendously bad reputation for quality. The JATCO CVT transmission and cost cutting on interior materials has crashed the brands. Automakers need to realize that buyers are becoming more aware of the problems with CVT transmissions. Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru are seeing buyers walk away as soon as these buyers learn about the damned CVT. The JATCO fiasco has ruined the reputation of the CVT technology.... something goes wrong, gotta replace the entire blessed transmission is all buyers know. And they're not buying these nightmare vehicles

  4. Questions on reliability and durability. A turbocharger strapped to a 1.2L 3 Cylinder engine is going to be VERY stressed most of the time, especially in hilly or mountainous areas. Cooling system is going to get a stress test too. FREQUENT oil changes and coolant flushes are going to be required for anything approaching "long life" - 100,000 miles. Resale value is most likely going to be abysmal. It is an handsome & attractive Daewoo, uh Buick.

  5. Nissan Frontier.... stick and A/C for $22.5k
    11
  6. Gadgets and gizmos sounds ALOT like "quirks and features"..... has Doug joined your staff???

  7. Driven with Tom Voelk and Savage Geese are both awesome. Autoline Daily is great for auto industry news.

  8. If the Maverick is the size of the original 80s Ranger, it'll sell great.

  9. Interior isn't as luxurious as I would have thought. I'll take a Ram, please

  10. It's the mommy mobile image, everyone wants to be an outdoorsy, truck driving, rugged individualist these days. The minivan is far too reasonable and comfortable for these rugged types. Let me tell you, for people who are mobility impaired, minivans are awesome. Huge doors, good hip points for seating, and room to stretch out. Walkers or power chairs easily fit in the cargo area. ♿♻

  11. I'd personally buy a Camry XLE hybrid with a spacious rear seat, a normal dashboard and a much quieter interior.

  12. That textured grille is going to be a PITA to clean grime and bug guts out of.....

  13. I miss the very distinctive Jaguar styling.... Jag needs to stop chasing BMW, just like Cadillac. This car leaves me cold... perhaps I just see way too many trophy wives driving them to the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall 😨

  14. Excellent work!! I still want Volkswagen to give the US market the ID.3!!
    6
  15. The major problem is dealing with the shady Hyundai dealerships sales and service departments. I'll take a Maverick hybrid please. BTW, the prosthetic tan color is horrendous 😫
    6
  16. Ummm, nope. Shoddy reliability reputation, downright scary dealership service tactics, and a subpar resale value. I'd go with a Mazda 6 Signature Turbo, or a loaded Camry V6. Smack that Arteon's booty, Nathan!! 😉😆😮😎

  17. JATCO CVT poor reliability killed the Nissan brand. Any Nissan with a CVT has extremely low resale value. The general public knows that the CVT is total crap.

  18. Why??? Just buy the Audi version foŕ a few more bucks a month.... and don't buy, LEASE. VW resale is poor.
    5
  19. Wonder how a EV 3 row would do in these violent IIHS tests, like the Lucid Gravity, Rivian R1S, Hyundai EV9, ET AL....
    5
  20. WHY TF is the vehicle in camouflage and no interior access? Is VW on drugs 🤔
    4
  21. Looks good in cypress green.... it's a great commuter vehicle and it's a Toyota soooo reliable and good resale. Needs a hybrid powertrain. I personally think that Toyota should have just named it MATTRIX 🤔

  22. Lease returns, rental fleet program cars (especially the Nissans), and vehicles with very poor overall reliability (also the Nissans with the craptistic JATCO CVT) ⚠⚠⚠

  23. I remember that from the early 70s TV commercials
    3
  24. FIAT = Fix it again Tony JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket

  25. Nicely done quick presentation, gentlemen. I'm thinking an Maverick XLT hybrid in Alto Blue is the best choice 👌
    3
  26. Sounds like a flesh eating bacteria
    3
  27. Soul Red Metallic
    3
  28. Could this actually be the new generation Escalade? Perhaps with a top-level trim and Blackhawk V8?????
    3
  29. AVOID THE UNRELIABLE JATCO CVT TRANSMISSION!! Yes, Nissan has made some improvement in the CVT, but it's got poor resale value because of the JATCO CVT reputation for self-destruction. Buy a RAV4

  30. Make my LS in Nori Green with a buckskin tan interior and I think I will drive it to my grave ☠️💀
    3
  31. Looks just like a shrunken Buick LaCrosse from the rear and rear 3/4 angle. YAWN. It'll be popular at the airport rental counter in the USA
    2
  32. Guys, too dam much camera motion. Making viewers motion-sick
    2
  33. Sells great with older buyers
    2
  34. Great car for Uber or Lyft operators
    2
  35. The Jeep Renegade should be replaced by the European Jeep Avenger EV. The Renegade has a terrible reputation for reliability and poor resale value 😮
    2
  36. Id really rather have the Corolla 5-door hatch, but I'm sure that Toyota will sell the crap outta the Corolla Cross ✝️
    2
  37. The Blazer looks cartoonish.... the VW is yawn inducing. Tall station wagons are sooooo boring and built for Karens....
    2
  38. Invasion of the Honda ricer bois in 5,4,3,2..... nevermind, they're already here.
    2
  39. Is this turbo 2.5L related to the 2.7L turbo in the Colorado?
    2
  40. Horrendously bad owner reported reliability. NOTE: VW canceled its 6 year & 72,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty coverage half way through the 2019 model year. Rumors say it was costing VW a mint.....
    2
  41. Very sad news 😢. But wear a seat belt!
    2
  42. AUDIO quality is very poor
    2
  43. Tostito not burrito
    1
  44. STRONGLY AGREE
    1
  45. FRANCO-AMERICAN MOTORS
    1
  46. I'd likely buy a CX5 for the price of that new Escape. Better reliability and resale value
    1
  47. Looks much better in a saturated color like that blue. The original Encore looks like a rolling potato....
    1
  48. Kia Soul S would be a better choice, and a lower price off the lot with just a little negotiation with the Kia dealer. That blue paint looks awesome on the Yaris though
    1
  49. New generation Subaru SUS sedan. Soooo weird
    1
  50. Is this IVT chain OR belt driven. Hopefully, the transmission is FAR more durable than the POS Nissan JATCO CVT....
