Morning!

I love this format, very enlightening about the BS you have to deal with from manufacturers events, thanks guys

[@rightlanehog3151]

Roman, Andre and Nathan, As a long time viewer, I really appreciate the insights into the 'politics' of test events. It is unclear to me why car companies give more access to channels that cater to 14 year olds rather than to channels that aim at an adult audience. 🤔

[@franzvanjulio5523]

I think they view the investment of their dollar capturing young people with the hope of keeping them tied to their brand for life. Historically, people have been very brand loyal but I believe that’s been changing as of late.

Yeah pretty much every single vehicle, from every manufacturer, at every place they are sold, and every private seller has them listed way way over the value and price of what they are actually worth. It's a box of metal and plastic with rubber circles and an engine with 100+ year old technology. Cars are a complete joke

[@jodensmith5093]

As someone who is more than happy to bring on the electric car revolution, I think Roman is kinda right about the issues with EV’s, but not quite. Yes the price is at least 50percent of it, but there are just too many other flaws. The range for anyone who wants to go a distance on a regular basis is bad. Also the charge time is just way more for longer trips. And the biggest one other than cost is that if you don’t own a home you’re just out of luck. Off you can’t charge at home then you might as well not own an electric. Most people in America don’t own a home. We either rent or have an apartment we rent. If you can’t charge at home then you’re going to be very hamstrung. Also if you dont upgrade your charger your gonna wait a long time to charge that thing and probably not drive on the weekend so you can top it off. This is just way too much cost and inconvenience to deal with. The cost of the car is just the cherry on top.

[@AG3333333]

TFL, isn't the reason the new North Anerican spec Land Cruisers have no third row is because of the battery pack at the back for the hybrid system? In international markets there are non-hybrid versions.

[@1antisupercat]

Even if other journalists get cars earlier than you guys I still wait to watch your guys video because I prefer your guys style. It’s probably frustrating for you guys but I will wait. Throttle house is usually one of my last choices for info when new vehicles are released.

[@Kahless00]

yeah thats why the saw it here first thing doesnt really gel with me. it doesnt matter. people who watch their content and sub are going to watch it no matter when they get it. if they got their new tacoma or raptor a few weeks later most of us were still going to watch it because they have a way of doing things others dont so we get better information. especially for anyone living at altitude. maybe if theyre a year late reviewing then yeah theyre late to the party. but its got the same energy as the plonkers that wanna all caps FIRST!!! on videos like theyre going to get a trophy for it.

[@teotwawki00]

Throttle House is a very entertaining channel. Having said that, there is no way that they did justice to the Landcruiser with that video they released. There is NO COMPARISON with a TFL Off Road evaluation video and what they did. Give them a sport car first but not trucks or 4x4s.

[@aussie-seb]

We have a 2023 PHEV Outlander and charge the 20kwh battery overnight on 110 without any problems.

[@connorjohnson3291]

I’ve said this in a previous video, and I’ll say it again since you guys brought up your displeasure in the Toyota Land Cruiser stuff. You guys are obviously smart enough to know that it’s a business decision. Toyota looks at the views that Throttle House and Doug Demuro get, so they give them special privileges. Just as an ESPN journalist would get with a professional athlete versus a smaller independent journalist because ESPN has more reach. I’m 24 years old if that matters, but I genuinely think Tommy and Case as a more comedic, fun, etc duo, similar to throttle house, is a weapon you guys should really consider exploring. Throttle House’s selling point, at least from my generation of viewers, is that it’s entertainment, not just informative. Hence why nobody cares about Motor Trend, Consumer Reports, etc. We want personality, jokes that aren’t always politically correct, etc. And after the last few videos Tommy and Case have done with the Willys and the Renegade, I definitely think that’s something you guys should explore, especially to continue to attract the younger generation to your channel as Throttle House and Doug don’t really have any other competitors in that space

[@neo7759]

It's all BS, Cars on general are a joke. Same bullshit technology from 100 years ago yet has somehow increased 100x the price since conception.

[@atmartens]

The issue with Honda working with GM is that they were behind but Honda customers are loyal to Honda because of reliability. GM’s issues with the Blazer and lack of quality shows and I think it was wise for Honda to get out of there. Second, Acura has one of the best hybrid AWD systems and it’s a shame they don’t use it anymore. It was only in the RLX and MDX, but it was from the NSX. For some wild reason, Honda is doing hybrids but Acura is planning to skip hybrids and going electric. Not sure that’s a wise choice. Second, Mitsubishi has a lot of issues. I really doubt they’ll be around much longer which it’s sad to see any brand go but one suv can’t save them. Also, the Ford Explorer may be top selling but def due to fleet sales. Consumer Reports has ranked it so poorly with reliability and honestly theyre pieces of junk. Theyre made for fleet sales to be cheap. Lastly, Hyundai and Kia do have some cool designs but the engine reliability has been piss poor at best. I’m excited to see if their electric stuff is better. A lot of reviewers have said their electric N is pretty exciting to drive.

@@NathanDAdlen Dudes, you get inside prices to buy your trucks, you get preferential service to keep you happy and keep you on board and peddling The Message, you act as a conduit for industry people to blow smoke up your a** and waft that smoke out to the general public. Having said that I generally like your content but the bottom line most people can't afford any of the vehicles you're covering now and as I said, you really should be pressing these manufacturers to justify these prices. The OTD price for a Tacoma TRD Pro is going to be in-excess of 75k dollars, when the dealers get done, that's somewhere in the neighborhood of a 40pct increase over a 2020 that is far outside the increase in inflation. Madness.

[@NathanDAdlen]

@@michaelmclovin5098 “Inside price?” “ blowing smoke up peoples a-?” We always pay the MSRP. Sure we get first dibs as we are who we are - but we never get money off. We often travel to other states in order to pick up a vehicle that’s priced right. We have the resources to do so. We often spotlight dealerships who try to rip people off. That’s also because we have the resources to do so. We often showcase the pain of high prices, and we bring up “bargains” when we see them. I can’t imagine how we would stay afloat if we settled for markups, or avoided buying trucks that get us views. Do you? To say that we’re lying, or “shilling” for automakers, when we’re trying our best to be objective is simply false. As for getting preferred service: yes, it happens from time to time, (like the Tacoma), but we always point that out and are 100-percent transparent about it. I don’t understand what you want us to do, or say that changes the narrative

[@OldThomMerton]

Hmmm I figure Roman for Swing Music. Plenty of whiners complain about where a vehicle is made, but sales numbers show that buyers across the board don't really care. Honda, Ram, Dodge, GM, Ford, ALL of these companies have been making cars in Mexico for decades. Ram and Jeep drivers really do not want to check their door frame for the manufacturing data on their rigs, because it is quite possible their 'merican car is made in Mexico, Italy, etc. Saying that, if manufactures that are moving to China these days, they are making a mistake. Stealing industrial secrets and materials is one thing, but state sponsored cyber attacks are another. Even Buick has been moving away from China to Korea of the last four-five years, showing even the great American automobile that the Chinese love is a little afraid of having two many eggs in the Chinese basket. Take a nap, Nathan . . . being broadsided by Roman and Andre must be eggs-hos-ting!
