My Top 10 Cars of 2024, Cars I'm Excited for in 2025 + Channel Changes

[@rango2116]

Matt, I usually don't comment on KZbin, but we appreciate all the hard work you put into the videos. I think breaking up the weekly updates into segments for the algorithm will help, as short form content is very popular and should reach out to a wider audience. I look forward to the weekly updates every Friday, I hope they don't go away, but even once a month would be better than nothing. The problem is information moves so fast with short videos and posts, it is hard to keep up with it. I appreciate that you are my one stop shop for all car-related news. It sucks to see a lot of the OG Car reviewers like you, SaabKyle04, Redline Reviews, and Alex on Autos not pulling the same views as you all did back in the day. It's good to see you are trying to adapt and keep it fresh. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2025!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you for the comment and kind words! I hope you have a great 2025 too!

[@milesfathi]

Matt, you continue to be in my top 5 car youtubers list. Been here since the BRZ days. Thank you, and keep up the great work.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you for all the years of support, it really means a lot! And I'm honored to be one of your top 5 KZbinrs!

[@MCGMB]

The fact you listen to viewers and then continuously improve the channel makes you a YT star. Thank you!

[@stever41g]

Great year end wrap-up Matt. Loved and totally agree with your top 10. Like your ideas for the channel in 2025. Just a thought, but what about some night views of the cars you review. Would be nice to see how they look as most of us do drive at night as well. Happy New Year to you and the family. Keep up the great work.

[@ITFDB]

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate these videos as a car enthusiast Matt. You are by far the best source of car news I’ve found on the internet, talking about everything happening in the industry without being in anyone’s pockets like the big magazines. Breaking each segment into their own videos will really expand your reach, it’s a great idea. Do anything you can to give yourself a leg up!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoy the updates!

[@bobbyjones2112]

I definitely like the weekly update. That’s my favorite part of your channel!

[@timoxino]

Matt, please keep weekly news as one big thing. To me and maybe for the others - this is something we can’t find on the other ‘car review channels’. These days there are too many car reviewers delivering incredible quality content but not that much well compiled news - so please keep going, you are doing a great job here!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you! I'll definitely keep them as one big thing for sure in addition to the clips!

[@matttakahashi8283]

Make a “Matt’s Moment” where you go off on a rant about something that irritates you. I always find that amusing, I can’t be the only one.

[@jeffs6090]

Kind of like Peter Griffin, "You know what grinds my gears!?"

[@sawyermartin4434]

Dude I would love a segment like this from time to time! This needs all of the upvotes.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha I've considering doing something similar "Matt MaRants", but after pissing off a bunch of people when I kind of tried that with my Jaguar video a few weeks ago, I'm not so sure that too many people would enjoy my rants lol. Maybe if I stick to non-controversial topics.

[@jeffs6090]

@@MattMaranMotoring Who really cares about those that get pussed off? That can be a topic of another rant video. "How my rants piss off some people, and why I don't care."

[@Jorge_Magallon]

I actually appreciate when Content Providers breakout their longer videos into smaller videos as you mentioned. Good luck with that and on the New Year.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Glad to hear and thank you! I hope 2025 is good for you too!

[@brianjurko9085]

To answer your last question there I would do whatever you think is gonna drive more views and keep you doing what you love. The rest of us who consume your information can just live with it. Focus on what will get you the best results. Keep up the great work.

[@kamk.1704]

I hope you don't stop the weakly updates. I always look forward to watching it from Wednesdays!

[@GoMangoScat]

How are the weekly updates not hugely watched? I’ve been watching them for years and love getting all the updated car news here. If the other channels do well with full reviews during the embargo, I would suggest joining in to be competitive with those videos. Then when it’s up maybe do a quick refresher of neat things about the car along the driving segment and impressions. 27:10

[@Landez97]

I'm here for weekly updates every Friday, and have been for years. I work nights so when you upload right before I clock in I, always get excited to have something to watch/listen to while I work. Hope things get better for you in the new year

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you so much for being a loyal viewer!

[@Landez97]

@ I've been here since your review of the first BRZ way back in the day. I was in high school back then, still watch the channel every week

[@camjam344]

I like the idea of the pre embargo stuff. I would not only just focus on the interior stuff though. Just kind of a walk around and interior review. So basically everything except the driving stuff. Happy new years Matt!

[@Aaron-cc7yq]

Your weekly updates are my favorite part of your channel!

[@ItsOlee]

I think focus on KZbin shorts as well. Short vertical format has taken off a lot (I’ve found a lot of car reviewers through KZbin shorts and TikTok) and they will introduce you into a new audience to bring them to your long format content. I love the weekly updates as well but maybe updating them will help? Either a new style or format. I used to watch Fast lane daily and loved the way they formatted their videos. If you have wrenching abilities maybe start a project? 21:39

[@MattMaranMotoring]

When I tried Shorts a couple years ago they didn't really help or do anything from what I could see, so I quit bothering. But if some of those weekly update clips are short enough, I may try to convert them to vertical. I have no wrenching abilities or any time for a project sadly lol.

[@ItsOlee]

@ either way I’m excited for what 2025 will bring to this channel!

[@hiromihonda9424]

I have been watching the weekly reviews for years. I think it's really good and unique. The other content completes with other KZbin car reviewers and I don't watch as much.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your honest feedback, I appreciate it!

[@-Munditimum-]

Hey Matt, just wanted to let you know that I watch all your videos, including your weekly updates. Been a subscriber for many years and honestly wouldn't change a thing about what you're doing but since you see what's happening in the background so I wouldn't blame you for wanting to change and move with the time at all. I'll still be here. I would love to see you do more of the modded beasts and even throw in some classic stuff for sure since it seems like it's brought you some good viewership. Another thing could be a whole video every month on big rumours only! That could be a whole thing on its own generating huge numbers. Anyhow my friend hope you, Beth and the little one are doing good...Merry Belated Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays to everyone. Cheers! M

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you for the comment and all your support! I really appreciate that and I'll try to do a little more of the older stuff in 2025! I hope you've had a great holidays and hope your 2025 is good too!

[@MrXboxUser]

50k for a 4 cylinder mustang??? I didn't know it was that bad 😂

[@Luis_G919]

Love the vids, I still recommend exhaust revs clips, I see other channels that get a lot of activity on videos that showcase the exhaust note. Doesn’t have to be driving, just revving the engine, I think it will help.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah I should do more of that next year. I don't get too many cars that have exhaust notes these days though, but I should feature that more on the ones that do.

[@roymccraw8226]

The new KZbin algorithm sucks so bad 😢

[@jeffs6090]

I'm looking forward to native NACS ports in 2025! And more Ionna stations with their Alpitronic chargers.

[@Corvette1658]

I think it’s a great idea to do the interior reviews early.

[@pistolpete6321]

Matt, I truly appreciate what you put into all your videos and they are very informative. I hope you have more success in 2025 than 2024! I’ll always be watching. Cheers!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Pete!

[@benhaze1010]

I really feel for you. I am hanging on in my 2019 GT. Hang in there. I always loved your channel!

[@TunedByJ]

Matt I think your strategy on letting the algorithm do it's thing for the Weekly updates is great, the Weekly Updates are appreciated and I personally love them, it sets your channel apart IMO but understanding views are also important since the channel is a business at the end of the day. Cheering for your success in 2025!

[@Angryeddie14]

Thanks for another great year of reviews and news! You’re always the first one I go to for videos on any car. I’m hoping the next year gives you more views and better algorithm!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Eddie, I really appreciate that!

[@geemiami6251]

Matt Please Please Please don’t cancel the weekly updates. I religiously watch it every Friday night and give it a thumbs up. Please remind me of your email address and I will send you some suggestions to grow the channel. Enjoy the rest of the week, I appreciate you.

[@schellingrs]

Please don’t end the full 30 minute weekly updates. I absolutely love them.

[@seal4ever778]

Happy New Year to you and your family, Matt

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks, Happy New Year to you too!

[@bryantcurtis7]

Love the channel and I can’t wait to see where you go. Keep being a YT that tells the truth. I love your channel for that. Maybe an older car to review that would be cool would be a 4C? I’m looking forward to the Genesis Magma concepts and the Challengers with the Inline 6 and hopefully maybe a Nissan Z Targa?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'll definitely keep telling it like it is! I'd love to review a 4C someday if someone offers one. I'm excited for the Magma too, hopefully it comes in 2025. Z Targa would be fun too!

[@jaredrella]

I am a VERY passive KZbin user. I rarely like or comment on videos but one thing I watch regularly and never miss are your weekly updates. It's nice to get all of the automotive news in one reliable and relatable package.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you for the comment Jared, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like the updates!

[@outpatient83]

Cheers and I hope you and your family have an amazing 2025.

[@ThatWasherNerd]

Thanks for all you do, Matt! I genuinely look forward to the weekly updates every Friday, so I'm glad you plan to keep them around even with some modification. I hope this next year goes super well for you!

[@paulfairchild8942]

Great content as always. Thanks Matt!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching Paul!

[@MD-Crabby]

Keep up the good work, your news segments are my go-to for car news. I appreciate the hard work.

[@eatonuter7113]

As a long-time viewer of the channel, I like the idea of putting news stories as separate videos. It'll keep the weekly update video fresh on Fridays. I don't watch often, but I continue to support the channel by watching the reviews that either interest me or will help me at some point to make a decision in purchasing a vehicle. Anyways, keep up the good work!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you for being a long time viewer, I appreciate it!

[@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs]

Exciting possibilities for Nissan and Honda! And I like the lists you shared in this video! Here's to an awesome new year!

[@gregkramer5588]

Happy New Year Matt. I think the separate videos will work well.

[@CaptainDoge1]

Never comment here but subbed originally for the weekly updates and have loved them ever since. Stinks that they aren’t doing as great views wise but hopefully your individual segment videos do better.

[@Eddie-loves-cars]

Thank you Matt for your dedication and commitment to bringing us great quality content and reviews. Wishing you and your family a great 2025.

[@SaveTheManuals1]

I love the current format of the weekly update personally and use it as my main source of automotive news. The change you suggest makes sense though and hopefully it will bring some more awareness to that series on your channel.

[@darthmorachnus]

Hi Matt! I made it to the end! I really appreciate all the work you put in and I'll be sticking around for the new formats. I watch at least something on the channel every week and I always look forward to your news updates on Fridays. But I say do what's going to work for you! This is your job and livelihood! Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!

[@bobjakubik4381]

Thanks for your work, Matt! My interest in cars is relatively new, and I've really enjoyed your reviews and perspective. Best of luck to you in 2025!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I really appreciate that, glad you're enjoying the channel! Happy New Year!

[@392uwu]

Matt, I definitely appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. I always sit down on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings to watch your weekly updates. Also, your reviews have honestly greatly aided and influenced the purchase of my last 3 vehicles: a 2020 Sonata Limited, 2023 Sonata N-Line, and now a 2023 Charger Scat Pack Widebody. I also recommend your videos to others when I hear that they're in the market for a car. Overall I think separating the news stories out is a great idea. I also definitely think you should focus more on dedicated short-form content. These days, a vast majority of the automotive content I consume is Shorts. So it might be worthwhile to maybe film 60 second reviews or like interior overviews or something. I have seen your shorts recommended to me of your acceleration reactions. Also, I like the headcam POV style driving videos. I know other channels do it, but that could be cool to incorporate. Anyway just my .02 lol. Have a great 2025 Matt.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your support and I'm glad the videos have helped you too! I know short form stuff is popular and it's one thing I haven't done well adapting to, it just pays basically nothing and from my experiments with the acceleration shorts, they don't really boost the channel much either. But for the shorter Weekly Update clips I might try to do those as vertical shorts. POV videos would be nice and easy to make, but to me there's just too much risk showing my speed, even if it's somewhat blurred.

[@lyndahammel9502]

Good luck on the weekly updates. I admit that I don’t always watch the weekly update.

[@simonblair1176]

Your reviews are more realistic, so if I really want a review of a vehicle to know what my experience will be like, I check your videos. Thanks much

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Simon, I'm glad you like them!

[@randydavis5313]

matt , been following since 2020 and you convinced me to get my own bullitt. i value your opinion and you’re in my top 5 car reviewers. keep it up.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

That's awesome! I'm honored to be one of the top reviewers for you and I appreciate the support!

[@randydavis5313]

@ oh and now you have me considering a nautilus as a daily! they lease pretty poorly tho :/

[@davidkenyon5444]

I have been guilty of skipping a weekly update if there doesn't look like there is any interesting news (to me) from the blurb or thumbnail so breaking each segment up is a great idea. Separating the walk arounds and interior reviews from the driving portion for embargo car reveals is definitely a good idea. The hype for a new car gets people to click on anything related to it and if you are waiting days to post your full video you miss out on all of the casual views. I bought my 17 Civic SI and my Ridgeline because of your reviews, I trust your opinions and hope 2025 is a great year for your channel!

[@timephire]

"Top 10 List Matt" is Best Matt! See y'all in the New Year!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha thanks for all the support this year! Happy New Year!

[@shashankrao5793]

Hi Matt, I've been watching your vids especially the weekly updates for 10+ years. I hope you keep them around in some form (maybe monthly) but understand the desire to not want to pursue it with declining views. Looking forward to the new content and hope the KZbin algorithm works in your favor in the new year. 🎉

[@brianjurko9085]

No Integra type s? Either way, keep up the great work, Matt. I watch your weekly updates religiously. I hope you get your dream car one of these days.

[@reyshify]

Matt, the last 2 ideas are definitely worth a try. The shorts are going to be feasible. Have you considered splitting the channel like one dedicated to EV and another to ICE

[@slats66]

Thank you Matt for all you do!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

You got some crazy hot rides this year. Congrats. Your number 1 car is very honest. I hope you’re successful. You have that down home Everyman appeal. I’m trying to decide between an ERAY and a black wing. The backseat and self driving is appealing. I just wish it was AWD. Thanks Matt. 2025 is going to be great

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks! Best of luck deciding! I think you know which one I'd pick haha.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@ Old single Matt would pick the other.

[@wayneyim8714]

Appreciate the work you have been into the videos , and really love the weekly car updates. Enjoy the holidays and looking forward to seeing you crush 2025!!

Thank you, I appreciate that! I hope you enjoy the holidays as well!

[@lilrockstarrs]

Happy Friday Matt! And happy holidays as well, hope you, & the family are great as always! This was an excellent last weekly update for the year. For the last part I think that sounds like a great idea for the weekly updates to have separate videos and for the interior videos as well. I’ll always support you as I did 10+ years ago now! Thank you for all you do.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you Blaze for your longtime support, it means a lot! I hope you've had a great holiday so far and I hope 2025 is great for you!

[@2LowG]

Hey Matt been watching for years, found you when you had the eco boots. Love the weekly updates. I think those changes for the small cuts is a great idea. If people don’t like two videos for new vehicle launches that’s going to be a small minority. I recently leased a Chevy Equinox ev party because of your review. Plus the insensitive’s were crazy good. Keep up the good work. Look forward to watching in 2025. Ps if you are ever in Utah I have a 1995 spyder 3000gt you could do a video on. It’s all original and immaculate.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'm glad the Equinox EV review helped you and congrats on getting one! And thank you for offering your 3000GT, I'd love to review it if I'm ever in Utah! Send me an email or message if you can and I'll reach out if I'm ever in the area.

[@ericrojas1476]

Don't get rid of weekly updates! I love the weekly updates. Personally I really miss the mod videos. Also maybe more spec info.

[@dogie61]

My favorite part is the weekly update!

[@maureencora1]

Happy New Years 2025. I Hope You Get the Bullitt Mustang Back, Matt Daddy'. (smile)

[@hellokyle_]

I say yes to the separate interior reviews when you're at media events. Personally I am not against watching two videos. Have you ever thought about doing POV videos as you drive the car? I think with your personality and feedback you give, that style could work.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your feedback Kyle and all your support this year! POV videos would be nice and easy to do, but I don't like showing my exact speed in videos, blurring it is a pain, and I don't think people would enjoy watching me drive the speed limit, at least in the sporty vehicles. So that's why I haven't participated in the POV trend yet. Wish I could, I'm jealous of the guys that can just put a GoPro on their hat, drive and talk, and upload it as basically one take lol.

[@lyndahammel9502]

It's a shame that smaller cars don't sell well.

[@melz9196]

Matt you're the best car reviewer

Happy 2025

[@Ryu-g1s]

@mattmoranmotoring you’ve always been great. Why not go back to basics, review exciting cars again, critique car shows again. I used to love that. The weekly reviews are good but a little boring unless it’s about cars I really like. Hope this helps with your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@timvibes]

I agree. The new Camry is probably the most fuel efficient hybrid that's fun and zippy to drive.

[@txboss2318]

Please keep the weekly updates! I watch them every Sunday morning and have been for years. Your idea to upload those as separate videos sounds great!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching them and for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

CLE63 is the most exciting car coming in 2025

[@DanDiMaggio]

Matt you should change up something on the shelf each video to give us like a treasure hunt. I've been waiting for the Delorean to do a 180 so we can see the front of it for a while 😂. PS we'll watch your videos however you split them up (or not).

[@timephire]

Push more content cause that's how YT works. You got to play the game. More shorts, more quick vids, more long vids. Do what you need to do Matt, I'll figure out some type of joke to leave in the comments!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha thanks!

[@robc7563]

Disappointed no mention of the Genesis GV60. Loved your review….bought it….and LOVE it.

[@timw2083]

Hey Matt.... how did your customer owned videos do? New car prices are ridiculous, so bringing attention to affordable pre-owned cars could be a niche

[@MattMaranMotoring]

It's something I plan to continue doing for sure when I have the time next year. Some of the ones I did this year performed pretty well, others weren't great but still were worthwhile to do in my opinion. I agree, I think used car reviews will continue to become more and more important.

[@tomdoe1234]

Good luck with your channel, maybe more Miata videos :). I've always heard it's the answer to all car related questions. Or if you think along the same lines doing reviews of modified cars might be the way to go. Go to the drag strip watch a cool car win a race and then do a review of that car. How about cross pollination with other reviewers, I think this could help expand your viewership. You could try doing full reviews with your wife. The banter helps and another perspective especially if the car is practical like a SUV/minivan. In the new year, I'm hopeful with the new administration we'll see less regulation of the car industry.

[@typesredline]

You should do the weekly updates as individual videos. More videos equals more clicks. Also they’d be shorter. People see a video that 20+ minutes and they don’t want to vest that time in many cases. Also do acceleration shorts. Get people hooked to the channel by watching very short clips.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I tried the acceleration clips back when Shorts first started and they never really went anywhere so I quit doing them.

[@MutatedPizzaBoi]

Nice collection behind you.

[@djsone3499]

Oh, as for what I'm excited for in 2025...I've come to realize after driving my 2022 Elantra N for a few years that I have less interest in low-slung manual performance cars and more interest in things that are comfortable and otherwise interesting. I've always liked Jeep and the UX in their vehicles (audio controls on the back of the steering wheel, heated seat and wheel turning on automatically when ambient temp is under 40 degrees, etc) so I'm excited to see how they fill out the sparse bottom end of their lineup in the next couple years.

[@schellingrs]

While I disagree on the Mustang Ecoboost, I love your channel and especially the weekly updates. 👏🏻👍🏻

[@rjdavis7503]

Surprised to see the EB Mustang on your naughty list. The ten speed is a learning curve. I have also experienced a smoother shifting tranny when you mod the motor a bit.

[@awdtrailbossgt]

When you make a video of the Honda Prelude I be watching it bud 😀

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

Nissan, forget about Nissan....let them stay with Renault, same level of manufacturing, crap! Why would Honda pick up on Nissan? Why lower themselves? Excellent video Matt Maran! I agree with your lists. My favorite on your list is that V8 Miata RF. What a pretty little hot-rod!

[@micahhill4786]

Man we have to throw in the white flag for Mitsubishi how this car brand has fallen compared in the 90s where they have been one of the popular Japanese cars brands. To now be a three wheel to a brand merger.

[@briancorreia2923]

Honda is a publicly traded company, isn’t it? How could it be legal for the Japanese government force a merger against the best interests of Honda’s shareholders? I’m just not convinced that this Nissan/Mitsubishi merger is anything other than a government mandate. Next Japan will require Toyota to take over the rest of the endangered Japanese marks, Mazda and Subaru.

[@FrankZR1]

As OG watcher since 2015 SubaruWRXFan I'm totally down for pre embargo interior reviews because it gives a preview of how responsive or laggy the ICE systems are. Manufacturers need to step it up if they want people to stop using CarPlay and Android Auto.

[@Idaho_Spud]

I sincerely hope that your strategy for juicing your weekly update views is effective because I would really hate to see them go away. I know your fans love them even if the general population doesn't. One suggestion I would make if you are trying to get cross-platform views is to put more marketing effort into your Instagram posts about your new videos. I follow other reviewers whose posts about new videos have little teaser clips and more marketing panache. "I posted a video," isn't very enticing. Hoping you have a hugely successful 2025! 🎉

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah marketing myself is definitely something I need to improve, hopefully I can do more in 2025.

[@ShermanMR2]

Genesis GV60 Magma

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Is that confirmed for 2025? If so then I'm excited for that one too!

[@anthonygreco8285]

Honda Nissan Mitsubishi sounds kind of similar to the Toyota Mazda Subaru situation where the brands are working together and sharing technologies. But, Nissan and Mitsubishi aren’t in good standing.

[@scrutch666]

Finally i see a rwd type r incoming …. /s

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

The bots and I really appreciate the weekly updates! Your weekly roundup video really ought to get shared by The Drive, Jalopnik etc, because it's the best one-stop shop for good news and hot takes every week. What's the best way to support the channel? Specifically, which way has the smallest "service fee", which method do you get the highest percentage of the funds on?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks! I wish other outlets shared it, that would definitely be nice. As far as best way to support, donations through my merch store are the only way I get 100% of the proceeds. When you go to buy merch on mattmaranmotoring.com, there's an option to add a donation on top of it. For KZbin, they take 30% of revenue for memberships and super chats unfortunately.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

@@MattMaranMotoring sounds good! Ever considered Patreon, with their much lower % fees? It would be nice to straight up give donations without big percentages taken, or without gaslighting myself into thinking I need a seventh water bottle. I doubt this affects your viewership substantially but if I may offer a tiny bit of constructive criticism, while your extended thoughts in reviews are usually very well worded and explained, sometimes they are spoken through very quickly; speaking a little more slowly, a bit more pauses would help it be a little more digestible. I realize we all have a natural way we speak and that deviating from it is very much easier said than done. Have a good new year, best of luck to the channel in 2025!

[@lyndahammel9502]

I wondered about KZbin's cut. 30% seems excessive to me but lol KZbin care about my opinion. ​@MattMaranMotoring

[@MattMaranMotoring]

@lyndahammel9502 Yeah it's the price I guess I have to pay for the easy integration sadly.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I considered Patreon a couple years ago when I was setting up memberships here, but I decided that the built-in tools here on KZbin would likely provide a better conversion rate versus asking people to follow a link. And being able to post the members exclusive stuff seamlessly right on KZbin is nice. I've heard quite a few people during my time on KZbin ask for me to slow down my speech and I agree that I often talk too fast. It's something I continue to work on and I think I have improved slightly but there's still lots of room for improvement for sure. It's even more important for me to slow down a bit now that KZbin is doing auto-translations and auto-dubbing, where slower, clear speech will provide better translations for all of my non-english-speaking viewers, so it's top of mind for me. I'm so used to talking fast that slower speech feels almost unnatural to me, so trying to iron that out is something I'll continue to do next year.

[@CaptDnaDonut]

Hopefully the weekly updates changes will help more people discover the channel. I don't watch every weekly update but I've enjoyed listening to the ones I click on. I think the interior overview at press events would be a good idea. I think you should maybe fold in the interior review section into the full reviews if possible.

That's an interesting idea, to just use the same interior segment twice, once on its own and once within the regular review so that video can continue to be a one-stop shop still. Thanks for the idea, maybe I'll try that!

Basilica is going to be a mid-engine car they want to give you the MR2 in the Celica all-in-one but the car is gorgeous and it's going to be a mid-engine car with it you believe it or not
