Yet another week of me breaking Doug’s brain

[@swag_swag_swager]

Hello

[@UpperRobin29]

Kia Carnival > Hummer EV

[@AdamG1983]

Well done, Alanis. Well done.

[@danieljones8706]

Those were relatable lists though lol.

[@franciscos.3671]

You have more quirks and features than Doug

[@IRMacGuyver]

We all know that Doug's true guilty pleasure is the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

[@Bob_Smith19]

Saw one of these last week. And all I can is oof. Ugly doesn’t begin to cover it.

[@R2debo_]

Doug is the type of guy to not make cookies for his guests

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

R2debo is the type of person to make the same joke used a dozen times on other videos already.

[@paulcarmi8130]

Last guests there were cookies ;)

[@shanelamkie4755]

When Doug offers a guest a cold drink, it’s a Le Croix

[@safetinspector2]

I liked the dichotomy between their ideas of what constitutes automotive shame. Other than the world they live in where $50g cars are “cheap,” I love these videos even more than Doug’s usual car vids.

[@JustaPersonTryinToHuman365]

Yeah, the Sunday series is growing on me more n more. I find myself watching the whole video on Sundays but skipping thru his car reviews.

[@herbiehusker1889]

It's because she doesn't understand what a guilty pleasure is. She's kind of dumb.

[@theadvocate4698]

I love this format too! Wished it was longer...

[@charliethedog7579]

I’m not rich and I’m also very young but I’ll have you know the average price of a new car in the US is now $48,000. All that gets you is some kind of mid level boring crossover or minivan or something. 50k for some kind of fun enthusiast level car by comparison IS cheap. Of course you can get something good for much less but $50,000 for a car isn’t as special as it was even just 10 years ago…

[@eothawne7833]

​@charliethedog7579 A cheap car means $3,000 for the majority of us, my man 😂

[@user-vo5ze9fb7i]

LC 500 is such a beautiful car. Performance wise, its a balance and what holds it back is its weight due to the outdated tech installment but it will definitely be appreciated in the future even more for being ahead of its time for design and beauty!

[@bunsenn5064]

Don’t worry, they got rid of a lot of the outdated tech in the LC with the 2024 model refresh. Thank goodness the touchpad system is gone.

[@AHYL88]

[@dmmmwerd]

Her concept of guilty pleasure is dumb

[@jasonshort3047]

My guilty pleasure is the HHR SS. Everyone seems to dislike them, yet wagons are always cool to me and the amount of usable cargo space is surreal.

[@volvo09]

I love wagons. I only dislike the HHR SS because it's a GM vehicle, but I'd totally own one.

[@herbiehusker1889]

It's an awesome car. Not a guilty pleasure at all, unless it is painted a terrible color.

[@michaellorenz7177]

I dig the panel versions. I don't need all that glass. I also agree with knock about it being a GM vehicle. I had it's platform mate (Cobalt), and it was a car that redefined the word cheap.

[@CartierCasey]

I saw one driving yesterday. Cool cars.

[@joshstabler3438]

For some reason, I knew that car would show up in the comments.

[@argooose]

Alanis’ opinion on the Carnival is so valid it makes me so happy to see Kia getting love

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you

[@stevenwilliams1805]

Kia and Hyundai have come a long way.

[@Smearrrrrrgle]

Kia and Hyundai are still the biggest pieces of shit despite how far they’ve come

[@Alolan.Vulpix.Getting.Railed]

[@themidnighttavern6784]

It's a Ford explorer with sliding doors. The styling is very 2011-19 explorer, which is why it looks so good.

[@chrissellshomes150]

In addition to the LC500 being stunningly gorgeous and near 500hp naturally aspirated, I average over 30 mpg on the highway in mine as well. It's ridiculous, near perfect and since it's a Lexus, it's never in the shop.

[@iiroyalty2519]

Hot take: they should have removed the rear seats and put a hatch. Probably would have helped it get pushed closer to 4,000lbs where it should be

[@ShoelessJP]

Alanis has such a chaotic good energy and I am 100% here for it.

[@PharmacyAve]

Yeah she good

[@stevenwilliams1805]

Alanis is really cute. I like the energy, it's fun.

[@herbiehusker1889]

She's not very bright.

[@LambosOnly]

@@herbiehusker1889 Plus, social media check shows she uses gender pronouns.

[@_TheWerewolf]

With how Alanis defined guilty pleasure cars, almost every car I like would be a guilt pleasure car

[@Alolan.Vulpix.Getting.Railed]

shes not too bright

[@jeffreycormier7808]

Yeah really... An lc500 a guilty pleasure? That doesn't make any sense.. A car with one of the highest quality interiors (as per Doug), a NA v8, looks amazing and keeps its value like any great lexus? Her opinion gets worse every week. Gonna have to start skipping videos with her.

[@legomotionz]

​@@jeffreycormier7808I think my eyes rolled into the back of my head reading this. Shocks me that viewers can be just as out of touch as Doug despite not being insanely wealthy.

[@metalbudsgaming8371]

I think shes confusing splurging with guilty pleasure.

[@jgalt99]

I had no idea the Kia Carnival even existed until today. And now I want to be driven around in one, or go camping in one.

[@AbstractCatsMedia]

Doug is the kind of guy who feels guilty for liking the Hummer EV, but not feel guilty about NOT having cookies, for his guests.

[@RubyRoks]

[@DiRF]

I get where Alanis is coming from with the Carnival. Honestly, if someone was wealthy and being chauffeured, but wanted to keep a low profile, the Carnival would be an incredible choice.

[@mikewozawski1634]

Wrong it wouldn't be Lowkey because you don't see those nobody would know it's a Kia. Lowkey get all black Benz dime a dozen.

[@IstanbulHilux]

Seeing a Vantage on the road “wow I’m glad I got to see one, that person is doing us a favor by paying the maintenance to keep it on the road” I’d never have one but thank you 🙏🏻

[@phattiger1506]

This exactly how I've always thought about the Kia Carnival, I've never been able to make sense of it for my life, but I want it.

[@Tarv1]

[@mithex8414]

Doug, I’ve been around a long ass time. I remember when you posted the CTSV video when it was super cold in philly. Hilarious when you talked about getting a CGT as if it was a completely unrealistic dream and here we are. Keep doing what you’re doing buddy.

[@armadillolover99]

The Plymouth Prowler would be on my list of cars to get (not even just a guilty pleasures list) but I would heavily modify it mechanically, starting with a manual swap and an engine swap.

[@dubiousf00d]

Same here. I never understood why this car never came with at least a standard transmission. I feel like that alone would have helped it tremendously

[@norsegolf76]

We had a transportation minister here in Norway some years ago, Ketil Solvik-Olsen, who owns a Prowler. With the matching trailer! He also has a Viper GTS and a Ram SRT-10, as well as a 1981 Seville. That was the first and only time we've ever had a transportation minister here who loved cars! Heck, most of them barely have driver's licenses...

[@sneakyfildy]

Genius

[@DaGoook]

That Nowegian had some Texan in him no doubt.

[@tonydabaloney]

Interesting video,Doug! My truly guilty pleasure of all time is that I still love and want my first car back. 1966 Corvair Corsa, with the four one barrels. I loved it and would still have it ,if I hadn't backed up between two vacuums at a car wash,fast, only to realize, to late that there were three vacuums on concrete stands. Made a 90 degree dent in the rear deep nuff it shoved the engine almost into back seat. It was an aquamarine with white convertible top. No other car ever sounded as sweet!

[@iamatlantis1]

Luckily you didn't put it in to a tree prior to that my good sir hats off to you!

[@zach_diecast_mansur]

I was born in 1983 and loved MOPAR since I could like cars, along with 30s cars... so when the Prowler came along, it was perfect timing for me to have become a lifelong fan.

[@2amSpeedMerchant]

Doug is the type of guy who always tells his wife when he wants to go play with Alanis😊😊

"Every guy in rural PA is currently driving an F250 down a two lane road and texting" 😂😂😂 I live in PA, it's so true. 😂😂😂

[@balazs7235]

I just want to say I highly appreciate the conversions to the metric equivalent. It might be small, but matters a lot!

[@Legitster]

Mini-vans absolutely make the list. You can keep your dumb Maybach or three row SUVs. A mini-van is the ultimate car for hauling your buddies around and then getting a stack of 4x8 plywood home from the store dry. The only reason 90% of F150 owners don't have a Minivan is out of embarrassment.

[@FWRXTER]

PA resident here. Doug nailed the imagery of the “F-250s in rural Pennsylvania texting down a 2-lane road” lmao.

[@superturtle61177]

This issue is country wide, just different cars. You could take any type of person and there is a version who is not paying attention to the road. You go to the suburbs and it's moms in big SUVs texting, or In the city it's guys in suits texting while in their BMWs. Grandma is still driving her Toyota Avalon talking on her phone because she can't work the Bluetooth. Each is wrong and just as dangerous.

My guilty pleasure is a 4 cylinder turbo automatic Camaro. I work for a car rental company, and thus was the first car I did a burnout in. All of my cars have been front wheel drive and I was surprised the Camaro did a burnout.

[@ymtzlgn]

The Lexus LC500 is a dream car for me. I feel guilty solely for the amount of drool that comes out of my mouth when I see one

[@adamkalinowski9064]

Alanis had the absolute best guilty pleasure vehicle with the Kia Carnival. "Nobody" who watches this channel wants that vehicle. But she does. That's the epitome of this episode.

[@Drinksfromtap]

Ohhh… I’ve been watching for years and I definitely would!

[@enisra_bowman]

the Carnival was our Family Car and the one i learned driving after driving school and was a great car, only the first Gear is unuseable but that teach you quick shifting it's not a particular sought-after car like a Dacia or an Fiat Doblò

[@stephenj4937]

@@enisra_bowman Previous versions of the Kia minivan were sold as the Sedona in the US, not the Carnival. Alanis is referring specifically to the current gen van in this video.

[@flurpoid]

I'd absolutely love one of those even as someone without kids, but there's other vans I'd choose before it. Vans are awesome for camping.

[@KR-xf3cg]

I would absolutely love to have the carnival. It looks awesome from inside and outside.

[@jkinghorn]

Kia Carnival is in the vein of a good minivan, which folks put down as a soccer mom car or what not but they carry a ton of stuff in relative comfort, easy to load, lots of them have features like fold away storage, easy to maneuver, so I get that. Hummer EV also a great pick, and it's miles per gallon equivalent on highway is the same as a Ford Maverick hybrid, which is just terrible for an EV, the F150 Lightning has about 50% better efficiency...the F150 lightning! But the Hummer is what is was designed to be. I think my picks would be a Chevy SSR, it's a convertible truck that's not too good at either but looks super cool, or maybe like a Challenger Demon 170, which I think they measure gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon on it.😅

[@johnm1008]

My guilty pleasure car is a Nissan Versa with a CVT. I had one as a rental a couple years ago, I drove the piss out of it and I had an absolute blast. I have no idea why people hate CVTs so much, it was so much fun just flooring it and the car never shifting. My guilty pleasure may extend to any "slow car" with a CVT but that Versa was the only one I have driven.

[@theadvocate4698]

That is surprising! Now i'm curious......but small car are fun to beat around in manual, almost like an adult gokart!

[@Bmontepeque11]

I'm not sure I get Alanis' definition of a guilty pleasure you know if it's something you want but don't need, isn't that just the definition of wanting something 🤔 sure, I don't need a 911 GT3 RS but like h3ll I want one ❤️😩 However, I like her way of being practical even in the hypothetical to stay true to herself, I am just like her in that sense :) Also, my Guilty Pleasure are 4 cilinder sports cars, not like a GR 86 or MX-5 that were made to have a 4 cil. engine but like a Mustang Ecoboost or 2.0L Camaro, specially if they are automatic! (Yes, the auto GR 86 and MX-5 count in this case) Because they are just so weird, they go so hard against the essence of their name yet, each of their brands still try with all seriousness to make something fun, and I kinda love them for that quirkiness 😂

I've been eyeballing C4 vettes for a while now and wanna get one. They fall into this weird zone of not "classic" enough for some and not performance enough for others, but they were poster cars and in every game when I was growing up - compared to other poster cars from that time they're practically giving them away now.

[@2nd-place]

I love Alanis. Such a good addition. We need an entire episode of this show filmed in the second row of a Kia Carnival now!! I totally get what she means. I’ve done similar in the second row captains chairs of my Telluride. Wish they had the foot rests, though!

[@JaySee5]

I've been in the back of a Carnival with the captain chairs. It's GREAT!

[@estebanmorales6487]

My guilty pleasure is my father-in-law's 1968 Nissan (Datsun) Pickup. Hopelessly underpowered, the gearbox takes about a week to shift so whatever revs you've been able to muster are gone before it slides into a gear, half the trim has fallen off and the fuel pump tends to overheat, and it jumps around in a cartoonish manner. Oh, and the steering, you just try to point in a general direction you want to go. Three-point turning is worth an hour's cardio. I should hate this car, and yet I find it so endearing and fun.

[@KenColton]

I’m glad the Carrera GT finally ate it’s cookies.

[@roderickbutler7673]

Alanis nailed it. Guilty pleasure is like a 3 Michelin star chef who loves Velveeta shells and cheese. An automotive expert shouldn't love the Kia Carnival, yet here she is.

[@hofmannjoachim8817]

For me a truly guilty pleasure was driving a Trabant 601. For me as a West German it is a ridiculous car and a saw zillions of them when I visited my relatives in East Germany. My cousin once let me drive his Trabant and it was a real pleasure because it was so different. For him there was no alternative but I could easily change into my West German car and go to freedom.

[@MrDuncl]

At least the Trabant passed the Elk test 🙂

[@gsmith207]

This was great! Probably should rename this episode to “Moped”. “everybody wants to ride it, but nobody wants to be seen on it”. Reminds me of a girl in high school nickname… lol

Fun Fact. The Prowler was quicker than the Mustang GT through its run. Even beating the convertible Cobra in 99, and matching the Cobra hardtop.

[@AdamG1983]

Constructive criticism, Doug....you should invest in better mics for your guests. Alanis' hair kept rubbing against the mic and making weird noises.

[@AHYL88]

With the Lexus LC500, I mean you could say ANY sports cars or grand tourers are silly and hard to justify buying, which is why we view them as dream cars; and every car always has a compromise or two you need to accept.

[@MrDuncl]

If the Ford (Mercury) Capri meets the definition of a GT car, in a book about them they said that one was used for transporting Formula One engines between the U.K. and Germany. Being a hatchback they were actually a very practical car.

In Korea, they have specialized limo spec'd out Kia carnivals. Those things are ultra luxurious and still under $100k (About $77,000 to be exact).

My biggest guilty pleasure car is the Ford Excursion. I'm generally anti SUV and will never ever get an SUV in my life, I'd even rather not own a car with rear doors. But it's so over the top that I just have to like it. The second one is the new Toyota Sequoia Capstone. For almost the same reasons, but adding to that the fact it's a powerful hybrid and that it's very technological and also luxurious like a Lexus making it incognito in the process. That's exactly the opposite of my optimal car, which is any 2 door car that weighs under 3000lbs without almost any computerized digital bullshit, but that Sequoia is so opposite it makes me love it

[@honestyisthegucci]

Alanis King is the female version of Doug DeMuro. 🤣🤣🤣

The new channel changes suck!!! I pretty much stopped watching.

[@mattmekhaeil]

Then don’t watch. Simple. You’re just wasting your time

[@nathanjoseph4284]

​​​@@mattmekhaeilUGH. Easy for you to say... 🙄 People have a right to not be happy AND voice their concerns with the way a channel they like is going.

[@mattmekhaeil]

@@nathanjoseph4284 it is easy for me to say and doug even said in video about future content and guests that he will keep doing them. If people don't like them just dont watch it simple. Someone commenting about they dont like it doesnt do justice 🤷‍♂️

My guilty pleasure... I'm now in love with Alanis King. Also, no cookies this time?

Mine is the Mazda 5. Not the MX-5, not the CX-5, but just the 5. I love the thought of goin somewhere in the 5 and whatnot. Pluss they're smaller than my mom's car yet it has a whole extra row of seating. Minivans and Estates just fuck idk why but they rock.
