Youtube hearted comments of Daniel Gross (@TalismanPHX).

  1. Venza has very mature and elegant styling
    58
  2. Good job Josh!!
    53
  3. Toyoda is not EV hostile - he's a realist that gets the macroeconomic picture 💯
    50
  4. Very thorough review. For the money, I'd definitely buy the Trax. It's really a Cruze hatchback replacement. The Kona is really more of a Trailblazer competitor in my mind
    34
  5. Excellent review as always, Thomas. Cheers from Virginia USA
    31
  6. I want the hybrid wagon 😩
    31
  7. $14000 USD??? Where do I sign up? Good review as always, Ethan!

  8. Kirk, glad you and your family are okay and unscathed by Hurricane Ian. The RX looks beautiful in Nori Green, even in the midst of destruction. Praying 🙏 for everyone in SW Florida

  9. Here in the US 🇺🇸, the CX-5 is Mazdas biggest seller. Sells more than all other Mazda models combined. Looking forward to the new CX-50 😀 Excellent job, Thomas! Cheers from Virginia 🇺🇸
    15
  10. Excellent styling and interior. Not good reliability
    15
  11. Nice work, Sofyan. Great overview of the Prime version. Looking forward to driving reviews on the Prius and the Prime
    15
  12. Definitely not skipping leg day, Ethan
    13
  13. Happy birthday Kirk 🎉
    13
  14. The elegant styling and very sophisticated design of the interior is Mazdas strongest points. Yes, the CX9 is aging, but dammit it looks good 👍
    12
  15. Good job Martin! Very thorough 😊
    12
  16. Still laughing at the "throw in the white boots" closing. Informative and entertaining as always! Beautiful BMW
    10
  17. Very unhappy with the lack of stalks.... craziness like the yoke 😮
    10
  18. Mazda called. They want their Soul Red paint color back 😅
    10
  19. Great review Lauren. The Benz is a beautifully engineered vehicle.
    10
  20. It REALLY does sound like it has a diesel ⛽️ engine
    9
  21. Kirk, agree with your comment on needing more paint colors. 🎨 The current Prius has a cool seaglass green color scheme that would look amazing 👏
    9
  22. Surprised by the zero to 60 times. Also love the beautiful rural scenery in the background. 😊
    9
  23. Definitely Mazda. But I'd definitely move up one trim level from the base on both for more features and better resale value
    8
  24. Thanks Jake with a like from Virginia USA. ❤🇺🇦🇺🇲
    8
  25. Obviously NOT skipping leg day at the gym
    8
  26. Currently a 'O2 Pontiac Grand Prix.... at 17 years and 165k miles. Still a daily.
    8
  27. Excellent review Ethan. Nice looking XT4. Happy holidays and good health!!
    8
  28. Beautiful design inside and outside.... and frighteningly FAST 😮😊
    8
  29. Definitely interested in a Corolla Hybrid sedan or CorCross Hybrid. Like the looks of the new-gen Prius, but it's pricey. Adorable family Kirk
    7
  30. I want an AFFORDABLE modern Soul EV. Not able to afford most of the Kia EVs you described. Excellent information BTW Kirk. QUESTION: Will your channel cover VINFAST as well?? Thanks 👍
    7
  31. Definitely the Model Y at this price point 👉
    7
  32. ​ @mrtriathlondude of course you're correct. But MAGA won't listen to facts. 🙄
    7
  33. Hey Lauren, love the quick format of this review. Just the facts!!
    6
  34. Kirk. I have to agree with you that the best value proposition is the "base" Land Cruiser. But honestly, its WAY WAY to much money! Because dealerships will have markups. I'll take a fully sufficient CX-50 to meet my needs please. 😮
    6
  35. Mark & Jack, long-time subscriber here. Love these "deep dives" into the industry. Things have changed so much in the age of electrification, this is truly an educational opportunity. Thanks for tackling it.
    6
  36. Three cheers for all wheel drive sedans and Tom's neighbor Velma! Thanks for the upload, enjoyed it.
    6
  37. IP and infotainment screen display is covered in fingerprints. You might want to keep an eyeglass cloth in your filming kit. Excellent review as always 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
    6
  38. I have always loved the styling and driving experience of this generation of the 6. Sorry to know that its been discontinued. 😪
    6
  39. Love the Nori Green paint.
    6
  40. Im jonesing for the CX5 hybrid.
    5
  41. Nuclear generated electricity is the best
    5
  42. Love these spreadsheet analysis videos. Awesomeness!! 😊
    5
  43. NOOOOOOO.... Mazda, do not cancel the RWD Mazda 6. Not everyone wants to drive a tall station wagon!! 😒
    5
  44. Kirk, the dual spoiler rear REALLY resembles the 80s Merkur XRtii4.... I'm clearly old 😅
    5
  45. Excellent first look Kirk..... both the Tacoma and Hawaiian scenery look awesome 🎉
    5
  46. At $40k, it's overpriced for the Limited trim. The SEL hybrid trim is a much better value at $33k. Good quality review, Sir!!
    5
  47. Kirk, congratulations on 4 years! And continued success!
    5
  48. Camry Hybrid for me, in Blueprint blue.
    4
  49. I truly hope that PSA imports this vehicle to the U.S.. We need more EV choices here in the States. Thank you Thomas and team... very thorough review. Greetings from Arizona. 🌵🌴☀️🌵🌴🌵
    4
  50. Genesis please! Good job handling those Fox News guys 😅
    4
  51. Over the top OPULENCE. Would still take a Lexus LS for the excellent resale value. But would consider leasing this G90
    4
  52. Love the unique styling and super-fast charging capabilities. I want one in red
    4
  53. Thomas, I'm definitely a fan of the Golf variant. That blue paint color looks amazing 😮
    4
  54. The white BZ4X with the black cladding has a Star Wars stormtrooper vibe to it. Excellent review as always.
    4
  55. Great review Lauren! Who I be correct I saying that the Santa Fe could handle a snowy Forest Service road in the National Parks??
    4
  56. Team XLE

  57. Glad you're home safely. Great coverage of the Tokyo show. 😊

  58. Feel better!!

  59. Absolutely beautiful videography, Nicely done! Cheers from Virginia USA
    3
  60. Very informative. Good job, Julian!
    3
  61. I'll take the European CX60 please. Its a foot shorter in length and a bit narrower. Easier to drive and park in an urban area.
    3
  62. Excellent review Thomas. Like the attitude of the Born.... an EV with some bite!
    3
  63. Excellent job, Sue. Very informative , yet conversational 😊
    3
  64. Dave, the game from the 80s with the trackball was "Missile Command". Love that LS. What a beautiful car.
    3
  65. To quote the late Republican Senator John McCain: "Russia is a rusty, leaking mobster-run gas station with nuclear weapons." 😮
    3
  66. Like this format, Dave. Thanks for the review.
    3
  67. Long flight from Florida. Hopefully you have business class cabin seats 😊🎉 Enjoy the show
    3
  68. I think that it's worth the extra 2 grand to move up to the SV trim, and get the better infotainment system, alloy wheels, and broader paint selection.
    3
  69. Thanks for the Japan street cruise photos. Very cool 😎
    3
  70. The most unreliable vehicle I've owned was a 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T. Literally every month it was in for warranty repairs. VW dealership service was brutally bad and frequently rude. It was rear-ended by a taxicab and totaled after a couple of years.
    3
  71. Much better looking than the in-your-face mug on the Tundra
    3
  72. Gorgeous vehicle
    3
  73. Wow, very sleek and sexy. "Darth Vaders daily commuter" was hilarious 😂 Looking good Ethan 👍
    3
  74. Desperately needs the 2.5L
    3
  75. Pure awesomeness, dude. Still rather have a Kia Soul S over the Mazda2/Yaris for more interior and cargo space. ("Mazdota???") WTH does Mazda lock out the darn touchscreen when the car is in motion? The front passenger is often using the screen, not the driver. And that catfish looking GRILL!! Ugh....
    3
  76. Kirk, you look sleep deprived. Get some rest! I know with a newborn baby 👶 that's not easy... About the Santa Fe, I like the edgy Range Rover-esque styling. But I'd still prefer the V6 Palisade over the new Santa Fe... mainly for that V6 engine. Hybrid seems to be the way to go for only a little more money 💰
    3
  77. The heated & cooled and comfortable front seats were much needed... the rear seatback looks very upright, am i correct? Cheers from Virginia USA 🇺🇸
    3
  78. For the money, I'll take a Loaded CX-5 in soul red, please 😊
    3
  79. Definitely the crabwalk 😅
    3
  80. Love the European influenced styling, and the awesome blue flame paint. Good review, Nolan. Woof! 😉

  81. 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

  82. Gentlemen, nice review. Very comprehensive. And gorgeous Palm Springs 🌴 scenery
    2
  83. Kirk, I'm a big fan of these types of videos. Love the way you present the various brands sales numbers and insights. 😊
    2
  84. What a good looking sedan. Needs Soul Red paint!
    2
  85. Great information Kirk. 👍
    2
  86. Kirk, charging infrastructure in rural America is sorely lacking. While we can charge at home (or in the barn!). Much more likely to get a hybrid F150 or Tundra....
    2
  87. Great information and review. Always enjoy watching you two, very conversational presentation. I'm holding out for the Hybrid AWD Corolla Cross myself.
    2
  88. Lincoln as a brand was starved of R&D money by CEO Jacques Nasser. He went all in on the "premium brand group" of Jaguar, Volvo, and Aston Martin and left Lincoln for dead. The 2001 Continental concept sedan should have been lost green lighted for production, instead of the very mediocre Lincoln LS. Good discussion
    2
  89. Massive improvement over the outgoing Trax, but FWD only and the turbo THREE cylinder are demerits for us in the snow belt. Would make a decent urban/suburban runabout. Nice preview, guys! 😊
    2
  90. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Sincere condolences about your pup 🐶. So difficult because our furry kids are family too.
    2
  91. Great review Lauren. Love the handsome styling of the G80, especially in your testers paint scheme
    2
  92. Welcome to the USA 🇺🇸
    2
  93. Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 Kirk
    2
  94. Definitely going with the XLT hybrid trim
    2
  95. CONGRATULATIONS
    2
  96. Stunningly gorgeous vehicle. Pricey, but worth it IMO. Glad to see such high build quality from the Casa Grande Arizona factory 🏭 🌵🌵🌵
    2
  97. Elliott, excellent review. I'd recommend a Kia Soul EX/+. A great city car, plenty of space.
    2
  98. Merry Christmas 🎅 Kirk and family from Virginia USA 🇺🇸
    2
  99. Kirk, safe travels to Japan. 🇯🇵
    2
  100. Needs to be a real performance N, not a wannabe N-Line.....
    2
  101. Good review Lauren. Thinking for an upper $30k price, id buy a Camry hybrid
    2
  102. Such a great conversation with both of you. Very relaxed but very informative. Enjoy the summer live show hiatus.
    1
  103. Lucid Air please
    1
  104. Corsair has a great interior and the black paint looks elegant. Needs to lose the matte black plastic cladding, though...😮
    1
  105. An affordable Nissan EV smaller pickup truck would do well in the USA 🇺🇸. That is, if Renault doesn't completely absorb Nissan (and Mitsubishi) by 2031, which I think is likely as Nissans financial health is now marginal at best. There's far too many automakers and brands for an electrified vehicle future... but the pruning of automakers will likely start in China 🇨🇳

  106. Completely adorable, especially the pup.
    1
  107. Kirk, love seeing you little boy bum rush your content. All of your kids are super cute!
    1
  108. I have an 2000 Isuzu. I'm very interested in the Maverick hybrid as a replacement for my SUV😊
    1
  109. Ethan!! You're alive!! Stay well
    1
  110. The interior is next level luxury. Love the handsome masculine broad-shouldered styling. Excellent overview Kirk!
    1
  111. OMG, your daughter is just ADORABLE, Muzios!! Bigger than outer space!!!
    1
  112. Why? Id take an upper grade Prius over this LBX
    1
  113. Dear God, I hope Mazda gives the North American market a hybrid inline 6 RWD/AWD Mazda6 sedan. Soooo frigging tires of tall AWD boxes 📦
    1
  114. Kirk, honestly a lot of people just dont give a crap 💩. They have to get to work and their kids to school. Pure desperation is forcing them into these vulture financing deals. If the buttom drops out, they'll simply file personal bankruptcy like that Orange 🍊 guy and his cronies have done several times. No shame anymore in filing bankruptcy, we learned it's all a game from the 2008 Global financial meltdown.
