You guys should do a car of the year but within certain price ranges, loved the video!

[@SirJamesTND]

So carS of the year?

[@rawmar1385]

8 minutes into the video lol

[@robertleidner9703]

No

[@maverickphantom005]

That’s kind of what those mentions are for… The issue with price ranges are, that if a car starts $2k under $50k, but with some options (based solely on preference) it will go over $50k, then does that qualify it or disqualifies it? For example, in 2018, I would have said that best car overall under $40k was the Camaro SS It had some things that complicated it so I bought a Mustang GT instead. But the Camaro was better as a sports car. And I love the Miata. Basically what I’m saying is that money defined cars don’t make them the best. Some may be best for you, but not the best car generally. Oh and in 2018 if you wanted to get a Camaro 2SS and some add on’s then it would have gone above $40k…. So then that’s a problem. So if for you the best Camaro SS is over $40k, is that the best car in the $40-50k?

[@TheBCninja]

​@@maverickphantom005 that is really easy calculus. If the car requires options to be good, it isnt car of the year in its base price. So it doesnt belong in the 40k band...

[@JackedUpOnMTDew]

Before I watch this video I gottta say, It would be kinda cool for y’all to do a few more couch vids throughout the year. Just a chill discussion about cars kinda like the TG boys used to do would be nice occasionally. Great content this year guys👍🏼

2 random thoughts about the cars mentioned: 1. Revuelto is as close to the LaFerrari as we have gotten 2. BMW lowkey making great EVs (just enter and exit the car blindfolded)

[@Bimmer_Bill]

I5 is a good looking car, especially in oxide gray.

[@Nordheide]

@@Bimmer_Bill LOL

[@BrHH772]

Just a Bac Mono heavier than LaFerrari is not exactly "close"

[@mm6705]

I'm convinced most people feel nothing through their steering wheel. I'm always the only one to notice glaring faults felt through it that no one else feels, which leads to diagnoses of steering, alignment, tire, shocks, or suspension issues. I agree steering is extremely important.

[@pyramo3170]

Agreed. If it’s not communicating anything, life becomes much harder especially as you push it.

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

Electric steering just doesn't work. It just doesn't. You want either unassisted steering, presuming the car is fairly light, or hydraulic assisted steering. Yes, I know, nobody does this anymore, everything is electronic steering...which sucks across the board.

[@CockatooDude]

@@LanguagesWithAndrew Electric steering has many different forms as well. Porsche does it quite well, funnily enough I thought my Camry had hydraulic steering but I checked and it's electric. So really it depends on how it's tuned.

[@thenewexeptor]

And that's the reason most cars have such a numb steering - most people just don't care. If it is comfortable for a daily, which most means easy to position the car, then it is OK.

[@LucidLoki]

@@LanguagesWithAndrewexactly. Cars are becoming more and more artificial feeling, and it sucks.

I work for a Lotus dealer (EU) and you're bang on. Our car park is usually full of broken ones and both our demonstrators are broken, but godamn when they work... it's so worth it. Absolutely fantastic car and even though i see the behind the scenes, I'd still have one in a heartbeat.

[@Major_K_2]

[@rbee6507]

Glad to see the expansion and well worth the money gents! You deserve the added support so, at the expense of speaking out of turn, don't be shy about offering the added content! Many other creators are charging (and being paid) far more, for far less quality! Even the merch is a huge example of why you all are so great and so worthy of the support. I can't count the others asking for direct subs and far higher costs that provide absolutely nothing tangible and just do what they would be doing anyway. And in addition to the merch that is already worth the fee to sign up, the kicker discount codes. I will be signing up for sure!

[@myharryface]

I agree with a couple other folks, you need car of the year in different price ranges. Here's my suggestion ... $50k and below $50k-100k $100k and above. I think this matches what ... many Americans can afford, some Americans can afford and only rich people can attain. (granted most Americans can only afford a used car in the $20k range) -- Communicating that a 3rd place car which starts at $28k and a 2nd place car that's $250k+ is wonky at best. Forget the honorable mentions and 4th - 7th place ... 3 podium spots in 3 pricing categories. -- Love you guys, but please make this change for next year and going forward.

Having driven the Lotus Emira twice. All I can say is it's absolutely phenomenal.,,, I was so close to buying a older Mclaren mp4 12c and if not a 2nd gen r8... But both those cars were missing something, and that was a nice analog involved driving experience. The Emira is in a different category of speed and car, but I don't care it checks all the boxes.

[@rahulmandala4930]

The first gen R8s are more analog than the 2nd gen model. The 1st gens had Hydro steering and a manual, whereas the 2nd gen got way more soft and GT-like...

[@topend2282]

@rahulmandala4930 Yes I definitely wanted a 1st gen v10 manual R8 but the cost has been pumped up too high imo for 1 car... for my circumstances at least I'd rather have the Emira and something else for v10 manual money. 😖🤨... yeah yeah I know I'm crazy 🤣

Or you could look at it another way. They have a very high quality genuine platform that affords them the ability and credibility to do this and have acceptance/buy-in. They deserve this continued success because they earned and they are awesome. Not something that could be said for some of the other KZbinrs.

(which is technically a little worse than my old one) However this new one is yellow. So it's better

Wish Ford had some road-going model/version of the Ford GT in the same price range. Wouldn't even have to have the extravagant body styling. Supercharged Shelby GT500 engine, RWD, and some kind of sports car definition outside the Mustang lineup. Also wish Ford would take that 2.3L Ecoboost and make a Toyota GR86 competition.

[@sbauroth]

100% agree with the Lotus. (And have a Prius Prime as a daily)

[@nickb-]

Great to see the Emira getting the recognition it deserves. The UK motoring press seems to have forgotten that it exists.

[@The_Stanman]

The drawn out launch is part of it. First drives and deliveries were in 2022, so some addressed then. But then 2023 was first drive for many. But then kind of 2024 bc that's when it'll actually launch in many markets.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

[@mathewjones7663]

The Emira was my favorite car of the year as well😊

[@BlakeMcCringleberry]

100% agree about the top pick. As soon as I saw it, I was at their website designing my own. Unfortunately, I'm not made out of money, so it's still about 80% more than I can afford, so I got the M-sport 2 series instead. I'm happy with my choice, I tell myself. Happy. happy. Don't need an Emira anyway.

[@dlj1285]

The Emira has all kinds of annoying problems anyway. Bullet dodged.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Although I've never seen one, let alone drive, my pick would be the Caymen GT4 RS. For the engine noise alone, though from everything I've seen online, it's all around terrific. But being a working class stiff I hope to some day pick up a more modest entry level last gen 6 cyl. Love your channel guys...always a lot of fun.

[@Ksoism]

I'm glad you chose Emira over GT3 RS. That Porsche undoubtedly is a peach, but it is more track focused. CotY needs to be great at least on roads. Track is a bonus. But that origami infested Porsche is a bit other way around.
