How Many Quirky LA Tourist Traps Can I Hit In 4 Hours In The New Volkswagen Atlas?

[@snowmankace7769]

Good job Roman and Matt! I would've stayed at the beach for the day

[@yellownp22541]

I believe that at 2:16 is at the LAX Enterprise rent a car upper level.

[@A-Negative]

You hit quite a few homeless encampments. That’s the LA experience.

[@MGrillo3D]

Agree! LOL well said!!!

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

You think LA is bad in that regard, you should take a trip here to Seattle.

[@eugenem5244]

@@MultiPurposeReviewer Not to say other cites don't have issues, but LA is far worse. Homeless are everywhere.

[@justaguy6100]

Is this concern or disdain? If you're homeless SoCal is the most survivable place to be. The weather won't kill you, social services exist, and MOST people whose names don't end with Jenner have compassion. Florida has a LOT of "displaced persons" as well. They form camps, live under overpasses, they inhabit abandoned buildings and derelict boats, many are inland and who goes to Florida to skip the beach. They're not nearly as well catalogued, but again since the weather won't kill you at least you'll live.

[@WhoIsThisGodPersonAnyway]

Never would have guessed California was still so quiet. Big contrast from the conservative state I live in

[@gpaje]

Other parts of LA are crowded, it's a city of 4 million people.

[@donlorenzo5718]

@@gpaje Crowded or not, few people are going out, and there are hardly any tourists. That's the point people are making.

[@gpaje]

@@donlorenzo5718 I was in LA a few weeks ago, it was plenty crowded, tons of people were out & about and plenty of tourist around in the areas I went to. My point is, it's a huge city that contains over 4 million people, likely different situations in different areas.

[@donlorenzo5718]

@@gpaje I'm in LA every single day, because I live here. It's not that crowded. Many people are just staying home, regardless of Covid orders.

[@gpaje]

@@donlorenzo5718 I guess I'm not from a very busy place, because LA not crowded is crowded where I'm from. From heavy traffic on the freeway to heavy traffic on the streets, I can't imagine how busy it is when its normal.

[@vauwerks]

You're so right with, well at least some, including myself, wanting the Atlas to be sold here in Germany. But I like the first gen. a lot better, I loved the edges and the masculine look of it. Now it just blends in with all the other SUVs.

[@bandwagon240]

Surprised the VW didn't take you to its usual tourist traps: the VW dealership service department.

[@marknewman6037]

I have had the new Touareg for over 2 years, it is superb, no faults, 40mpg and 300 BHP.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

I'm really jealous. I was gonna go to LA for the first time last weekend, but then found out that due to LA county's travel restrictions, I couldn't go. If I had known you were going, I would have suggested a place called Philips Bar-B-Que on Crenshaw Blvd. I've heard it's really good, and it's on my list for when I'm able to visit.

[@AkioWasRight]

Bludso’s BBQ is better.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

@@AkioWasRight I've never heard of that one. But now I have two good places to eat when I go there.

[@donlorenzo5718]

Bludso’s is probably the best BBQ place in LA, but it's not like LA is known for any kind of BBQ. It's like looking for Mexican food in Italy or something.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

fish tacos from Pedros in san clemente

[@fz634]

The pantry is actually open… so you missed out… they’re only closed Mon & Tue lol

[@PuruTheGuru]

If you hit the right traffic you will not hit any tourist traps and you may miss the launch too 🤣

[@sentiencepsn2714]

What is VW doing? The Atlas used to look kinda like a Mercedes. Now it looks kinda like an Ford Expedition.

[@justaguy6100]

Too bad Bob's Big Boy was too long of a hike, that would have been a pretty iconic alternative.

[@u2fan29]

I'm sure nothing bad to say about that VW ,since they paid for your trip.

[@TFLcar]

So how much did Ford pay you to post this comment?

[@nlpnt]

Roman sounds out of breath at first. How!?!! Just being at sea level should be like getting an oxygen boost as accustomed to Denver's elevation as he is.

[@anthonyc1883]

Having never lived at higher altitudes I've wondered what it's like when people accustomed to thinner air go to a much lower altitude. Do they feel energized and does it last long?

[@deejayimm]

Yeah he got it all to himself because the government destroyed everyone's livelihood. I have never wanted to go to LA but I have to say it's sad to see what liberalism has done to it. All those people who moved are going to ruin their new states with that same bad ideology.

[@krzysztofcwik5347]

You are right. We would love to get Atlas, but without hybrid power there is no place for it here on EU. On my opinion, almost Perfect family car, Minivan excluded:) We are waiting for T7 to be presented in 26 days....

[@davidfrania8990]

That was fun! Haven't been to LA in years, and I love the Santa Monica Pier...So iconic! I find it interesting that the Atlas had a Michigan license plate.

[@rustom1981]

I tested this car , it's same price of Rav 4 so what do you think about between them 🤔

[@bandwagon240]

One is going to be a reliable and trouble-free driving experience, the other is going to be a VW.

[@evz1244]

Atlas compares more to a Sequia, much bigger than a rav4

[@mikeattheimagebusiness6215]

Isn’t it frustrating that global car manufacturers don’t distribute some models to some countries and where they do the specifications vary widely. I’d love to see the new Atlas in Europe, although the new Touareg and Tiguan are excellent. Very few over here could afford a 17mpg vehicle so other power plant options would be needed. Mainstream engines over 2 litres are become quite uncommon in cars. Toyota are another manufacturer that doesn’t sell the full size Land Cruiser or 80 series in Europe. Even the Ford Transit van only comes with a 2 litre and no auto option on many models including the 4x4. Sadly for petrol-heads, congestion charging, bans on vehicles. That are not compliant with the latest EU standards and a planned ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars in the next 5 years will seriously damage our options. Keep up the good work!
