I was in the crowd. There were audible boos and people chanting Malibu. Mark said that the new accord is the Malibu but they must have edited it all out.

[@LLG47]

You joke, but I feel like that car because it's so old is one of the few reasonable low cost options in that left. I don't think that car ever sells for MSRP in normal market conditions.

Thank you gentlemen for your work! Outside of TopGear there's no other car show I've enjoyed more. Most of all though thank you for your honest approach to car reviews. There's so much reading between the lines you have to do with the other car content out there. I appreciate that you guys ask the hard questions and give praise when praise is due and call out things that need to be improved. Merry Christmas to you too...

Then you add the sliverback Jack pieces along with Mark's tuxmat rage and Jack AI B58 humor and I'm both entertained and informed.

​@justthink5854 but sir, how can we reduce the population through the lie that is carbon emissions without convincing people that their very life source is actually poison?

[@maximborodyuk3773]

@justthink5854 additional "fun" is that EV's have more cumulative co2 (besides all other crap) than gasoline cars up until very big mileage numbers, which 98+% of them would never reach. EV is the biggest automotive scam in human history and the most hateful crime towards the nature at the same time.

[@nlpnt]

@justthink5854 The dosage makes the poison. It's a lot like salt in the human body - some is a necessary nutrient, most people eating a processed-food heavy modern diet get slightly too much leading eventually to heart disease, and if you shotgunned a whole 5lb bag at once you'd die if they couldn't get you to an ER and a stomach pump fast enough.

[@houndsmaster34]

I just have to say as a long time viewer, this channel just gets better and better. I was so excited to see this at the top of my feed! I would like to make a suggestion for next year. I think you guys should expand the awards out into more specific categories. Best full size pick up, best compact pickup, most affordable sports car, best of technology, best sub $50k car, etc. I understand you sort of did that with some of these but it would be really cool to see awards for the more niche aspects of the market. People who watch this channel, in my view at least, largely watch this because we are all car enthusiasts and love to see the different POVs and opinions from you guys on these cars. I also think it would be worth putting up on the screen the honorable mentions in each category It would also be cool to see a tier list between all of the major manufacturers in each major category, and why they're ranked that way. I loved the editing and the comedy in this. Editing is always on point but the fake audience was the cherry on top. Love you guys's humor and I can't wait to see what's coming next year!

Hopefully they will get to test a Gordon Murray T.50 sometime. That seems like the ultimate internal combustion engine vehicle that will ever be made.
