You have do to a Toyota 86 video. Because why is it so it so highly rated ? If not for initial d then it’s just pure hype( I’m talking about the gt86 and gr86)

Interesting, I like the interior modifications; the two-tone color on the new car is hideous to me.

It’s pronounced ‘MY-BOCK’

[@Ze_Hans]

For me a regular Maybach it just more luxurious S class, while that "off road concept" is just plain ugly. It literally looks like a pathetic copy of Rolls Royce Phantom made by AI or chinese, there is no art in that project car just pure ugliness and nonsense .

[@Nutty...]

Nah bruh, Maybach is for boomers.

[@djjlc]

The fraud is back from the grave
