  1. Love Delta Integrale´s - How it could go so wrong with modern Lancia´s is difficult to understand.

  2. Not to forget a very decent fuel economy - Especially for Autobahn commuting. The 330D and 335D is a lot of car for the money. When Alpina is doing BMW D´s then you know it is worth checking out if the car is to be used a lot on a daily basis.

  3. Well done this Evo, even the engine bay was so sorted and clean, good color for it as well.

  4. This car flows well....

  5. The turning radius is extremely important in cars like this – That is due to the lack of storage space – So if one has gone on the road and forgotten something then the Turning Radius comes into play. Though it is also known that racedrivers and wana-be racedrivers finds other methods to turn the car around quickly. That was once done with the handbrake but new supercars has so much punch that they can do it without it, but it needs a good right driver. Turning radius is known from when people sleep, then most people turn at some point regardless of they dream they drive a car with a limited turning radius or not. Secondary but very important.... The time it takes to turn this car around using a standard driving procedure gives the driver all the good arguments for making up for time lost when driving forward. Some Ford GT owners have already been known to file complaints to Ford about speeding tickets due to the time los of having to turn the car around – It remains a mystery to this date but Ford has stated that there is no turn around going to happen with this car.

  6. Appears to be extremely planted and accessible, lovely soundtrack too - A really great take on the 993.

  7. Really good review. I like that Jaguar worked on implementing some EV space driving sound – That is needed not only for the fun (fluff) but also for passengers. In fact, I would suggest it should be an option to add as an external sound as well – mainly for security because nearly all EVs are going to accelerate fast by any normal car standards and pedestrians and bicyclists needs that sound as a nonvisual reference in urban traffic. And yes one of the main problems with EVs are Network – in fact, something that can be solved since, in essence, nearly all urban and suburban areas have electricity. If one can not charge the EV then the old promise of "freedom" that a car offers is gone. The VW charging station mentioned sound ridiculous – slow charging at a horrendous price. And I am also afraid that the world once again must walk through the Cable Pain as it has done with computer and accessories for those, because that the global car manufacturers cannot agree on a few standards – it contradicts the whole idea behind the "EV movement" which is a "Green" Idea – Meaning that we all should start using less for the greater benefit of all. ( I am not stating that is it so, just the initial aura of the Promise/idea). I have driven a few EV´s lately and in a city, it simply makes total sense – Fast Acceleration, no local pollution, easy stop and go - one foot driving. And what I found most rewarding is drive flow – And EVs just seems to eat road in a complete at ease way – In fact, I found myself speeding nearly without noticing (that is not really a good thing or is it?). And don´t get me wrong here is still drive an older manual car that I love – but for the future and particularly in urban environments, EVs makes a lot of sense, that is if charging can be offered far more abundantly. Also, it is worth to consider that in just 4 years the battery capacity has nearly doubled as seen in Formula-E. When all the big companies are focused on this surely it will develop much faster than was the case so far if they release it early is another question though. At least in Europe, there will be no way around it anymore with the below 100g emissions regulation being enforced around 2021 (give or take a few years). Nearly all new cars will be Hybrid or EVs to live up to this standard unless the Fuel and Automotive industry introduce an alternative like low emissions biofuel or similar alternatives.

  8. Really looks good too, great stance.

  9. Nice Review, - put some better rubber on the thing and a little ECU adjustment and perhaps another exhaust and it will be neat.

  17. A bit boring car for a one take, never the less it was all right - I must also admit I´m not a big MB fan, but if I had to sit in traffic 4 hours a day, this car is a very good choice, and I do like how it looks.

  18. Really enjoyed this review - very very good. Takes it time to set up the questions, nice footage and believable journalism from Matt Farah. Many good question about the Evoque answered. Mr. Matt Farah you are just getting better and better - it really come together when you review more normal cars (Not that I disliked other reviews). Keep up the great work and thanks. Cheers ;)

  19. The exterior DNA has been holding up well for so long, but the rear needs an update. Would this engine, better with a +compressor and or a hybrid torque system?

  20. Great and entertaining review - Thanks Matt ;D

  21. What the hell is this thingy on the right rear side (with the Air force sticker on it) - Looks like it was made to injure cyclist badly. LOL!

  22. Hmm well I think this color is rather great for this 911 Model.

  23. Its a good exterior design, pretty "timeless" (Not entirely timeless) - Set up right people who are not into cars would have hard time judging it as an old car.

  24. Really well made, love the smooth rounded surface inspiration from the old Porsches, engine looks and sounds great too. Only thing is perhaps that "silver" center console with a CD player in it, everything else is great.

  25. @ Jason Young – Ahahahahah! Brilliant

  26. Epic Review! – Cool shades and excellent narrative, comparisons etc. – I really got a feel for the car through this review, Thank you! Matt and the TheSmokingTire ///

  27. Sounds pretty awesome – quite grunty/gnarly, but also smooth in like easy revving. The looks so far have been really good, not amazing but for the approximate base price, there is a lot that can be done to it and more fierce versions to come in its line.

  28. Jay Lenos Ford GT has double wide orange stribes = No

  29. It seams to eat the road seamlessly - not a huge fan of the new R8 but for some reason this color fits it extremely well.

  30. Certainly did not disappoint – Great Video, thanks a lot!!!.

  31. Great! – I love thet Ford GT because it is no compromise, purpose designed and build and does not try to please anyone but the person behind the steering wheel. And yes I know the comments; V8, and why not bring in V10 and V12 – But this is not what it is about – This US efficiency and I think it is worth celebrating, the car has proven its capabilities already – The only thing is the price tag and the very limited availability, to which I can understand the GT40 long terms fans reactions. One can though hope that Ford can make a more "buyers" Friendly car derived from this – but that might prove to be a difficult balance sheet calculation. – Can anyone tell about how many for GT´s was sold in the US from the previous Gerneration?

  32. It´s glorious, and that dash board is exceptional for the time. One for the Dream Garage.

  33. Overall not a fan of SUV´s unless they really serve a real purpose for the owner – living in or around conditions that makes 4X4 the logic choice. That said – I think the Urus is better looking than many other brand DNA transitions to the SUV platform over the last 10-15 years time. It is not beautiful but it is certainly more interesting than the Bentayga, the Cullinan and the Cayenne (Avoiding to mention several few other smaller SUVs that was really bad looking as well). I hated the Urus it at first looks – but now I am not so spiteful about it any longer and I do not know why – and the Interior is really Gadget cool as to be expected from a Lamborghini – But is this a car that anybody really needs, properly not – but the same could be said about the BMW X6 which certainly got the hate it deserved albeit the sales numbers telling quite a different story. ....Anyway thanks for all the Videos and happy new year ;D
