  1. Every UI/UX designer worth their salt knows this.

  2. I am glad the BX gets the recognition both for the style and the suspension. Love all Citroens up to and including the XM. The C6 too.

  4. The old Integra is not a beauty queen either.
    7
  5. Revelations, yes. Drag racing, no.
    7
  6. YouTube is TV.
    5
  7. You don't have to be a content creator to realize all of this.

  8.  @jimmyqballs  Anything to make drag race less boring. It is boring nonetheless.
    4
  9. I am not sure what is worse: killing animals or making more plastic. Just use cloth.
    4
  10. So you removed the blown-up Earth? Too much for viewers' sensibilities? But joking about "the rest of the world arguing over CO2 emissions" is fine? Does Jason have kids?

  11. Fake VHS camcorder or whatever you try to simulate, is so passé. I expect more creativity from Hagerty.
    3
  12. This IS television.
    3
  13. MR2 Spyder. Easier to get in an out, and likely more reliable.
    3
  14. When it came out, one car magazine wrote something like, let's see will it hold up as well as Porsche 928. I think it did. I must say, I like both.
    3
  15. Letterboxed within 16:9? Why not going native? This is YT, not broadcast TV.
    3
  16.  @saulespino2510  It was lame.
    3
  17. Not. Almost as boring as TG.
    2
  18. Yeah, just a little less boring.
    2
  19.  @dan725  Yellow journalism is no journalism either. Good journalism is investigative, often risky, and important for the society. This video is a nicely done Hyundai commercial.
    2
  20.  @Kikker861  It is not a review, it is a panegyric. Looks nice though.
    2
  21.  @AsinineComment  It is a commercial that pretends to be journalism. Comparison to Lexus, which already has a proven status, only elevates Genesis's status. Weird American laws prohibit direct comparison to another product in advertising, so this ad mimics as journalism. Also, Lexus is not a manufacturer either, Toyota is.

  22. Jason needs to lose 40 lbs or so.
    2
  23. Nothing wrong with either of the dudes. Good review!
    2
  24. And this is why I have a GTI Mk7. The new WRX is SUV-ugly, and the Evo is out of production.
    2
  25. What is the difference between true 21:9 and non-true 21:9 ?
    2
  26. Respect for the skills, but that wing on the Prelude? The Supra looks nice!
    2
  27. Bad car, bad design. In an aggressive turn the inner rear wheel is up in the air, while the outer rear wheel is bent to the point the car rides basically on a sidewall. "The way it has operated is different from any other car. Is it the fault of the engineer? Was it the fault of the company?" - yes! No one is going to learn new tricks for each and every new car. There are certain assumptions how cars behave, and the Corvair broke those rules. Rear-heavy, with badly engineered cheap-ass suspension.
    2
  28. I opened this video only to leave a comment: 1. I hate SUVs. 2. I hate drag racing. 3. I hate boring remote race tracks. Please, find a setting that look like a real city and shoot something more akin to the Lexus LC500 Motor Trend Ignition episode that you have on your personal channel. Thanks.
    2
  29. ​ @fjaajf Of course, it is.
    2
  30. The logo sequence is ok. Too long, in fact. Boring. Annoying. Kills the mood. The first rule of a cool shot is that you never hype it, viewers must discover it by themselves. Like, the wipe at 1:50. It is nice, although there is a hint of extra stuff just around the top edge of the trunk. Better mask next time! Yes, I did skip it frame by frame.

  31. Actually, the Saab was panned in the US for having only a four-banger for a full-size car with luxury pretensions.
    1
  32. Straight line drag race is boring no matter visual effects you employ. Do a proper track circuit race or, even better, do it in a proper city not on a boring desert track.
    1
  33. Is this the bourbon I am drinking, or the video has a completely different look and feel compared to other ones on this channel, yet at the same time it hits like the strongest déjà vu I've ever felt? Oof, my head is spinning!
    1
  34. Finally a decent episode, not a stupid drag race.
    1
  35. The New Beetle was fake through and through, no wonder it was so popular in the US.
    1
  36. The first two music tracks are horrible. What is worse, they do not match the car.
    1
  37. 6:07 - 6:12 and in some other places there is so much judder. I skipped it frame by frame, it seems that your shutter speed is way too high, there is no motion blur whatsoever. Remember, guys, you are shooting fast cars, not churches. Put on an ND filter and slow down the shutter speed. And if you cannot, then follow the subject instead of letting it whiz across the frame.
    1
  38. Drag race - so boring. Shoot something that is not in a straight line and not on a lonely track in the middle of nowhere.
    1
  39. "Burn more gasoline for no reason". "Cook the planet faster". "Feed birds with tire worms".
    1
  40. Another drag race - boring. I want more Revelations instead.
    1
  41. 50 years but looks like it is 150 years. It looked outdated when it was new. Never cared about it. Give me the Elise or the Miata.
    1
  42. Thank you for describing Mercedes S-class interior as "a cross between a Chinese bordello and art-deco casino," that is what I've been saying all along. Granted, the S-class you show has cheap boring tablets instead of MBUX Hyperscreen, which looks much nicer.
    1
  43. It was quick because it was scripted. Yawn.
    1
  44. The discussion is not a piano player.
    1
  45. There is absolutely no reason for this video to be in Cinemascope (cars that do not fit the frame and are cropped from the top, the bottom, or both the top and the bottom are the proof), but I will take Icons over a boring drag race any day.
    1
  46. Careful! Slo-mo and trick shots are good, but don't get into Top Gear's gimmicks of "who will do it quicker". No, no and no.
    1
  47. A mark of a professional is to make a cool shot as if it was nothing special. But when you repeat a gorgeous 3:43 move at 3:50 it kills all the fun. Don't think that your viewers don't notice small details - they do. Never attract the attention to a cool shot by repeating it. Also, in your checklist you forgot graduated ND filter for the sky and crazy color correction.
    1
  48. My Mk7 GTI is almost perfect with its smallish screen and physical buttons.
    1
  49. Which is electric is the future. Put up panels and charge away, also run A/C.
    1
  50. I don't think a face can be handsome. A person can.
    1
  51. It is nicely done, but the scenery does nothing for me: a desert and distant mountains. A really boring background. Please, more cityscape. I understand that it is near impossible to film racing videos in a city, but at least some driving scenes and walkarounds can be done in a place where there are things to look at besides sand and cacti.
    1
  52. Finally something better than lame drag races.
    1
  53. Fake smoke, fake engine noise, fake Hollywood orchestral music, fake digital instruments instead of real ones, fake vocals in a stupid autotuned song and a fake comparison of the Bronco Raptor to three other vehicles. Indeed, the Raptor just meets them - cannot argue that the title is wrong. Still, what was the point of bringing these four together? Just for a group shot? Or Ford's PR service did not allow direct comparison? On a plus side, there is some semblance of a town, not just the same boring racing circuit in the middle of nowhere. Next time go to a real city, I want to see skyscrapers on the background, and not fake ones.
    1
  54. I understand that stupid drag races are easier to make, but this format is so much better!
    1
  55. The presentation is competent if a little stilted. The call to grandmom becomes cringy after the first answer, should have cut it. You repeat some info, like the front track has been widened by 1.5 inches, see, I memorized that. Overall, B-.
    1
  56. 3:01 - not a hatch, though.
    1
  57. Enjoy it now before we burn the planet.
    1
  58. It takes a whole second to start up, what a luggard, and quite unrefined at that.
    1
  59. This is incredibly boring. Got anything better than a drag race in the middle of nowhere? I'll be back for Revelations.
    1
  60. Plastic disposable spoon? Dislike.
    1
  61. Can car videos get any more boring?
    1
  62. This video has been made in a completely wrong aspect ratio. Everything is cut off, top and bottom. Why???
    1
  63. I was very close to buying an NB, but the windshield's top edge was just at my eyes level. Very easy to drive: can be easily thrown in a controlled slide, lots of fun. So much not like the MR2, which is unforgiving.
    1
  64. Why no custom subtitles?
    1
  65. Youtube is TV. Oh, do you mean broadcast TV? Are you 65?
    1
  66.  @ZOSELY  Again, who cares about network TV? Are you 65 or older? Old dudes watch traditional TV because they cannot click a link with a mouse ;)
    1
  67. So the e-Ray took a page from Honda's playbook, and I suppose the issues are the same.
    1
  68. Now this is great content, not some boring drag race in the middle of nowhere. Music is fitting, too. Thanks, Larry Chen!
    1
  69. Drag races are so boring. The only outcome of this video is that the Plaid and Sapphire should not be allowed to be driven on public roads, at least not without a special license. This whole EV thing with sub-5 or even sub-3 seconds to 60 needs a whole lot of re-thinking. I expect more accidents and more pedestrians killed by a quick silent EV.
    1
  70. Overall B+ despite F for infotainment? You definitely do not give infotainment enough weight.
    1
  71. Another drag race in the middle of nowhere? Boring AF.
    1
  72. Is the car seat correctly installed? That diagonal belt going over the seat looks weird. Also, aren't car seats for children up to 3 years old - the baby doll surely looks younger than that - supposed to be rear facing?
    1
  73. What is TV?
    1
  74. 1:30 How many kids - or dogs - will suffocate in the Rivian's frunk?
    1
  75. So, 15-kg plastic top over a carbon fiber platform, and I don't see a safety cage. How is this legal? In Germany of all places.
    1
  76. "whoever"
    1
  77. This lamb was sick, and mercifully was culled.
    1
  78. "your"
    1
  79. Yep, it is a commercial. But I don't care about a drag race either, the most boring kind of race.
    1
  80. Not bad, but try making it less stilted. Magnus should learn to listen to an answer and ask the next question AFTER the person he talks to finishes. And please make your next question sound less scripted. The editing is rough: a bunch of shots where he drives alone, the owner drives alone, both of them are in the car but Magnus drives, this is crazy, you cannot edit like this. Also, when the owner says, "the rear seats fold flat", I should SEE the rear seats folding flat, this is 101 of videomaking. The best part is starting from 9:45, nice colorful locations in LA, although so deserted to the point I can almost hear an echo.
    1
  81. They get what? That cars like this only hasten the inevitable end of this civilization? Jason jokes about "the rest of the world arguing over CO2 emissions" and revels in conspicuous consumption, anticipating the Earth to blow up (a shot they have removed from the video)?
    1
  82. Cinematic commercial paid by Hyundai.
    1
  83. So, the other ones are even more boring?
    1
  84. This was slightly less boring than a usual drag race. To me, the GT3 is the winner with a much smaller engine.
    1
  85. Badge, not batch.
    1
  86. The visual and aural giimicks cannot change the fact that drag racing is boring as hell, doubly so in the middle of nowhere. Meh.
    1
  87. Are you cosplaying Straight Pipes or your budget has been slashed? On another note, is it a camera angle or Jason has gained weight?
    1
  88. A plea to the designers of the 5th gen: do not even think of replacing real instruments with tablets! If you want to integrate a screen, look at the Mk7 GTi, base version with 6.5-inch screen, not the large 8-inch one.
    1
  89. That is not an Elise owner.
    1
  90. Straddling between an honest review and advertisement (case in point: Bronco Raptor).
    1
  91. The problem with electric pianos is not about the sound generator, but about how you can - or cannot - dial the power, sustain and damping. Better keyboards have weighted keys, and there are better designs of these as well.
    1
  92.  @ARCNA442  Maybe VW should have tried selling the Sharan instead of a full-sized Transporter.
    1
  93. It is not a minivan. It is a wagon in a van shape.
    1
  94. Gorgeous? Not really.
    1
  95. This is quality stuff, not some boring drag racing.
    1
  96. I always have considered the Miura too ugly. I liked Lancia Stratos.
    1
  97. Like Tesla this, and like Tesla that... But you did not mention Tesla when you talked about Saab's dashboard designed for easy access and use. Hmm... I wonder why?
    1
  98.  @Druze_Tito  German "Z" is pronounced /t͡sɛt/, not /zɛd/.
    1
  99.  @prds25386  I did not even notice them. To me, these are the same four round headlights. It does not look better, it looks simpler.
    1
  100. Ford has no cars in its U.S. lineup aside of the Mach-E. They turned into a truck brand. And these are not the kinds of trucks I would want to buy. Meh.
    1
  101. It's ok.
    1
  102. Subtitles: "m" is meters, not miles. Also, SI symbol for hours is "h", not "hr".
    1
  103.  @JohnFromAccounting  I think it has.
    1
  104. This was quite boring. I don't care about drag racing, I like technical details, and there were not enough of them. Ok, 800V and 48V, and bulletproof, and 3 motors, and stainless steel skeleton, and drive bt wire. This is what everyone else keep reading off Tesla's PR bullet list. I like more stuff like battery info, or motor info and why induction motors are better, and how motors actually work, it was not enough. Not enough info about how they bend the panels. What kind of electric and data bus they use? More technical stuff, not just "wow, it goes FAST".
    1
  105. The key point - Elon Musk does not accept conventional ideas, hence Lucid - remained unanswered. What Musk has rejected that Lucid has not? Long hatchback vs. sedan - well, hatchbacks are a standard fare in Europe, and the French have been masters of them for a long time. Frunk? Lucid has it. Multiple motors with AWD? Tesla is quite conventional for an electric car, it is Rivian that is different. A yoke? Not very unconventional for a 1960s Boeing. A horrendous big-screen TV instead of a dashboard? You did not even mention it.
    1
  106. This video seems to be made for British viewers, it completely misses the American viewpoint. First, with five seats and a covered cargo area this is not a van, it is a wagon in a van shape. Second, in the U.S. no one uses vehicles of this size as campers (well, some do, is it a new trend actually). This is what minivans like in the U.S., transporing kids to and from school, sports practice and SAT prep. With this size - 2 meters wide and 4.7 meters long - it should have three rows. Two back rows better be removable to fit 4x8 ft sheets of plywood or sheetrock. As for the performance, American minivans get from 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds. So, for a minivan this vehicle has not enough seats, not enough flexibility and not enough performance. For a wagon it has a bunch of A-pillars in the front for no good reason except for the van look.

  107. 14:23 - rolling shutter is atrocious.
    1
  108. Okay. Good. You've done the old man's car bit. That's a good start. Now add graduated ND filter, bold color timing and fancy typeface. Really, these paved curves in the middle of a desert look SO boring. I know I should be looking at cars not the desert and the mountains, but I just cannot help it. And I never feel like going to the middle of nowhere only to throw my car into some turns. This is why I like movies like "Ronin" or "Taxi" (the French one, not the poor Hollywood remake). These cars belong in the city, they are not Broncos. Maybe you want to put a huge green screen behind the track and put on some nice city imagery, look for computer games foe inspiration. As is, it is boring.

  109. 3:50 - wrong MR2
    1
  110. The fancy-shmancy slow focus-from-defocus are irritating as hell. Stopped watching after 36 seconds in.
    1
  111. Cannot improve a boring drag race with visual gimmicks.
    1
  112. Another boring drag race in the middle of nowhere. When the next Revelations comes out?
    1
  113. Well, talking about stuffy Brits, as far as I know it is not even allowed to advertise top speed in the U.S., any top speed. And most cars have limiters set around 110-120 MPH.
    1
  114. Another boring drag race in the middle of nowhere. Meh.
    1
  115. Thank you for shooting the video in a real European town, not just a mindless drag race in the middle of nowhere. The scenery in this video is a respite from tiring anonymity of American desert and from revolting looks of American cardboard suburbia.
