  • Awww

    WHY COULDN'T I HAVE MET YOU THERE???

  • Most fuel efficient car my ass... diesel cars have been getting better mpg for years

  • Hank! Hank! Now do the Renault Twizzy!

  • ftl hank! just go find a bathroom and then continue the video!

  • You guys, maybe I'm crazy, but I just have this funny feeling that Hank probably had to pee during this entire video.

  • If only Hank knew how much damage the Prius would do when they had those malfunctions XD

  • Mmmm.

    Steak-kabobs. 

  • i must criticize plug in electric cars, the're just not as good as hydrogen fuel cells, and if we put more money into the developement of hydrogen fuel cells they'd be so much better!! *end rant*

  • when i was in 3rd grade, i invented solar panels for the roof of cars (or at least came up with the idea). when i told my peers about it, they all laughed at me, cuz they thought it was dumb. next thing i know, it ends up on an episode of Monk. and now on real cars. i'm very mad. whoever is tapping my brain for my amazing ideas, owes me some money.

  • IS IT ME OR DO YOU ALL FEEL LIKE TIME TRAVELLERS NOW THAT THE VOLT IS OUT

  • you have a prettty big toyota bias... they are so goddamn boring

  • @MrOzzytheostrich Which is why he's talking about Chevys, Fords, and GMs as well? Even if he has a bias it's not to be boring, it's because there have green models.

  • Hank Green likes green cars...

    Coincidence?

  • tiny toon adventures come enjoy the fun! hee hee

  • theres a canadian all electric car made in qubec. its avalible in many countries but not canada. i know thats wierd

  • 0:54 "She's talking to me!" I lol'd

    2:09 Love your 'General Big Philosophy Question'

  • we all know how well the prius jusy couldn't stop rolling off the lots

  • I don't fully understand the hybrid thing. When you look at the strip mining for nickel, and the shipping of that nickel to China to process, and then shipping again to make the fuel cell. All of those things actually make the hybrids less fuel efficient than a gas powered vehicle.

  • @Dashua28 Very true, and it is actually more efficient to drive a hummer for about a year than it is to make a battery for a prius. I love the idea of hybrids, they are definitely a step in the right direction, but they are not good for the environment yet....in fact quite the opposite.

  • where's the middle finger!?!?!?

  • You didn't flip off a Hummer! D:

  • tiny cars suck

  • hmm... this is b4 Toyota's downfall with there crappy brakes.

  • (310):

    So they discontinued the hummer... Now people will have to go door to door to let others know they're assholes

  • anyone else get the impression that hank needs to pee?

  • omgggg i LIVE in the detroit area!!! WHY DID I NOT KNOW THAT YOU WERE HERE?!?!?!?! *facepalm*

  • How do plug-in hybrids compare to gas hybrids in terms of carbon footprint? I know that the majority of electricity in this country is generated by burning coal, so by having a plug-in aren't you effectively having an inefficient coal powered car?

  • @HeBreaksLate and on top of that making the battery for those cars causes massive dead zones by the factory

  • Hank, you forgot to flip off a Hummer! Haha

  • for some reason, this is the only time I have ever thought "what a nerd"

    ...the hell is wrong with meee?

  • One Year Ago TODAY This Was Posted!!!! =D

  • drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.

  • My friend Skip has an Aveo! And he totally drives like Alaska in it...only sober.

    Are there any, like fuel efficient vans, or cars I can COMFORTABLY fit (at least) five people in, plus some golf clubs, bongo drums, and assorted musical instruments and doodadds in?

    How did you not flip off any Hummers?

  • I was basically going to say almost all of what Marlon said.

    Since I am very passionate about this I will repeat it. How did you not flip off any Hummers?

  • electric is never really going to work. it's upsetting, but they never have the life diesel cars do. a fiat panda gets 55 miles to the gallon minimum, which kills the prius. cause the prius is more like 40mpg

  • chrislaxx13 ; It's not because you don't care about the environment that others shouldn't care aswell. You can go ahead making this planet more crapier. But we are going to make it suck less.

  • That is possibly the worst insult I've ever heard, thou errant flap-mouthed codpiece.

  • I know so many worse ones.

    like doody-head,

    trash dumpster,

    juice fondler,

    person who loves other persons with similar crotch-parts

    or my current favorite

    Virgin!

    Actually, juice fondler isn't a bad insult at all, I just like using it.

  • you combined 2 brilliant things, vlogbrothers and cars :D DFTBA

  • Comment removed

  • wow nice review

  • I can't believe you didn't flip off a hummer D:

  • aw man... no flipping off the hummers lol

  • The first microcar should be powered by adorable. And it would get many miles.

  • 2:04 hilarious.

  • Good job for sucking less, Detroit!

  • Ehehehe... Speaking of the volt... I heard that the asking price (at least the plan for it about this time) was late 40, early 50 thousand.... yyeeeaaaaahhhhhhh...... I'd rather buy a motorcycle, pimp the hell out of it to make it into a giant pillow cussion with huge flashing lights and the best protection suit.... AND THAT would be cheaper then the freakin' Volt, and take up a HELL of a lot less space then a car...

  • Just stop and go pee! I don't want to get on the internet and find out that you died due to a ruptured bladder.

  • Nice looking cars.

  • I miss the old Brotherhood 2.0 intro. :(

  • OMG I have to peeeeee! lol

  • ALSKDJFLKDJF I WANT THAT TINY TOYOTA. I hope when it comes out it really has those flowers all over it, because that's exactly what I want in a car.

  • You should buy acatheter and piss bag for next year, then if you get caught short you just have to discreetly tip it out in a bin lmao.

    That concept camaro, was it actually electric or where you just using it as an example?

  • Electric cars are flawed because the power comes from power plants burning fossil fuels.

  • That's not a flaw, that's a feature. Even if coal is burned to make the electricity, it still far more efficient than gasoline or diesel internal combustion engines.

  • My point is people are taling about them like they are the holy grail when the real solution is hydrogen fuel cells.

  • it has solar panels on it's roof? wicked!!

  • Glad they are having a showing in Isengard, I would hate to miss it... ;-)

  • Yo do you live in Detroit? Cause i do and i went to that shit. But i dont like toyota that much

  • LOL, were there no washrooms there?

  • ya i think my dad is going to get a camaro and im going to get a volt. i liked the volt better when it was just a concept car cause it looked more like the camaro but had better mpg which the volt gets like 40 mpg and the camaro strangly due to it being a sports car and all gets up to 26 mpg

  • aw i wish i would have been there

  • Not terribly into cars, personally, but this was interesting. Nice to see automobiles moving forward.

  • Ooh, the Cadillac Converge... sounds sexy... <3!

  • You look like you're wearing the same shirt as you're wearing in your Google meme video and your journal video. XD

  • I was reminded of Tycho Brahe, who legendarily died of a burst bladder, because he was too polite to excuse himself from a Royal Dinner and go pee! This was in 1601. But recent scientific inquiry seems to indicate that Tycho died of Mercury poisoning.

    I wonder what Tycho would have made of hybrid cars. He did have a pet Moose that died after getting drunk and falling down some stairs. Are Moose are like cows? Cows can walk up stairs, but they are physically incapable of walking down stairs!

  • lol... Did you ever get a chance to pee there...?

  • I'm surprised there was no mention of the FCX Clarity by Honda.

  • Prius FTL. By the time its build driven and trashed its done most harm to the environment than a regular car. Not to mentions that parts are shipped thousands of miles around the world to save money on production costs. Check out the Hank should probably check out the Honda FCX. It's the future of environmentally friendly motoring.

  • Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!! GO PEE!!!

  • Nice! SparkHID dotcom **Get Your Brightest Headlights w/Xenon HID SPARKHID** Cars OR Motorcycle Kits ALL MAKES ALL MODELS

    Agradable! SparkHID Dotcom ** Obtener Su brillantes luces W / xenón HID SPARKHID ** Kits de motos o coches de todas las marcas TODOS LOS MODELOS

  • You didn't flick off a hummer. I'm very disappointed.

  • I paused the video to pee.

    And then I went for a smoke as I contemplated that Caddy. If I didn't bike or walk everywhere.... damn.

  • ok in my opinion, if its got an engine and 4 wheels then i'm good.

    HANK PEE MAN PEE DO IT NOW! NOW MAN NOW THIS IS NOT A DRILL, U WILL PEE SCRATH THAT, U MUST SURVIVEEE

  • Wait... wait... was that the Tiny Toons theme at the beginning!?

    LOVE!!!

    Wow, some amazing cars coming.

    Hank, we'll see you after you've peed... hopefully.

  • soo pretty! i wish they were made already!

    go pee hank!

  • hooray for seeing hank on promoted videos!

  • Electric Sports cars are nothing new. GM created the "EV1" MANY years ago, wouldn't allow anyone to purchase, only lease, them. Then, had them all shredded even tho' there were long buyer waiting lists to get one.

    Look up the documentary "Who Killed The Electric car?" which you can find free on You Tube.

  • We watched that in English class.  :)

  • so Is the yugo there?

  • Wow, I really had to pee as I watched this video.

  • the pee thing reminds me of paper towns and the part where the gang is in the car, and ben with his peeing desire lol

  • HOMYGODANIMANIACS!

  • Thanks Hank, Now I have to pee.

  • ...OR you could do bio-diesel :)

  • Oh yes I remember someone saying that they were going to the Detroit auto show... I thought it was like the Ypsilanti car thingy where a lot of old cars show up... (Ypsi is close to Detroit) If I had known I might have actually gone... even if I'm not that into cars

  • I want a chevy volt but if GM goes out of bizzness we won't be able to get it. u can't wait to 2010 .

  • Hank Green went green in a green green car. HA.

  • HEY! This is 4 minutes long!! PUNISHMENT!

  • 4 minutes is fine. 4 minutes one second, though, would violate the rules.

  • it has to be LONGER than four minutes

  • If electric cars become really popular gas prices will tank.

    Why buy an electric car if gas is 10 dollars a barrel.

  • just pee already

  • Prius FTW!

  • he thought the aveo 5 was good and then when he got to the cadillac coupe his glasses were covered in steam - "hawt"

  • aww i didnt know you were in detroit

  • I hope that we have many more B2 auto shows to come in the next bazillion years. XD

  • hangreen?

  • I saw the chrysler minivan at the end!

  • It's a much different show from last year, isn't it? The production version of the Volt is jokes. Oh, and I hope you made it down to the basement!

  • I have an '05 Chevy Aveo!!! FTW!

    Actually, I love it.

  • I'm down with the idea of trying to make more fuel efficient cars, such as electric cars, but in actuality, the act of making most batteries for those electric cars ends up being extremely harmful to the environment. And as already pointed out by happenstance287, businesses such as Toyota use more fuel shipping parts around then they save with the drivers on the road. = / It seems like our environment never wins = (

    If only there was a way to make cars out of sticks,rocks, and grasshoppers...

  • I think the Honda Insight will prove to be the most popular, it's what I'd choose =]

  • *All I could think through the whole video*

    "...Why Tiny Toons? I like Tiny Toons...but why?"

  • OMG, those names are so fricking delicious.

  • By the time Toyota makes all the specialized parts for the Prius around the world in different specialized factories and ships them to the assembly factory, the act of making a Prius has consumed so much fuel that it is actually less fuel efficient than most cars even before it hits the road... That's something they really don't like people to know. But... it's true. :[

  • well i hope you found a bathroom, hank!! thanks for the lowdown on green cars ;) good to know, good to know.

  • that second car you looked at looked like something Detective Gadget would drive. all very cool. I am happy to see all the green cars

  • Don't you mean Inspector?

  • lol "shes talking to me!"

  • ahaha "shes talking to me!"

  • You didn't flip off any Hummers......i like that.

  • I like how no one cares that you're walking around with a camera talking to yourself. :]

  • The Tesla Roadster looked soo gay.

    Espeicially in that horrible colour.

    Shame cos in black, it looks wicked.

  • haha GO PEE!!

  • I hope you peed!

  • But...but... the Ferrari display...

    lol. How did you get in before saturday? Do you have a press pass or something?

  • Hank, which car is going to base at 18.5, and when will it be out? I need affordable!

  • spinning thing!!!

  • according to my son the mercedes e class? was given a enviromental award by the german tuv. thats the official organisation that tests cars and other products for safety, also emmisions ectr.

  • about the prius. i hear that the production cost [enviromentally ] is sso high,what with parts being sourced and send all around the globe, that that offsets any petrol saving or emission reducing.

  • does any body want to have a youtube war with me. if so just send me a messae or maybe i will send you a message saying your a fucking fuck retard piece of shit. anyway read more of my comments on this guys giraffe video

    bye

  • steven speilburg presents...

  • were tiny were toony were all a little looney and in this cartoony were invading your tv

  • bbbwwahha im funny

  • so a jewish guy and a mexican walk into a bar, the bartender comes up and says "Get out of here"

  • who wants a tammy tummy kiss?

  • 0:07 and now our song is done

  • if u dont know what im talking about watch his giraffe question video

  • im doing it again

  • that was amazing! every one of your videos makes me crack up! from -ve, taking nerd fighters to budapest

  • Just go pee you moron! D= lol

    Great vid btw, awesome cars. =o

  • damnit bekurahtoshin you messed up my thunder fuck you

  • o-O Sry, wasn't even aware you had thunder to mess up. XP lol

  • "Did I mention how badly I have to pee?" @_@... XD

  • I thought that the Prius while green to run was far worse than a normal car to actually produce due where the minerals for the batteries are mined from ?

    I want a green car but I think the new hydrogen cars in california are going to be the way to go, at least once they sort out where to get the hydrogen efficiently, it's a much better long term plan than plug in cars and something like the prius from what I understand on practical levels.

  • this gay guy should shut the fuck up. it about cars not you, witch is just as well as u suck

  • haha your level of intelligence shines ever so brightly with this comment

  • timkiwi I'm talking to you bud

  • I saw somewhere that the Honda Insight, in 2001 got something like 50 miles to the gallon.

    Now, I don't know about you, but Honda Insights were pretty cheap in 2001, and they're even cheaper now.

  • so hank did you wanna say i have to pee one more time in that video

  • Awsome cake cars.

  • they're all so shiny...

  • Agreed jumpmansbro. The green cars are getting sexier each year. =D

  • yeah, not peeing earlier was probably a poor choice on your part, hank

  • I just learned something about myself today: I get turned on by energy-efficient cars. I don't know whether I should be proud or embarrassed.

  • Sooooooooooooooooo pretty :0 Yes for the future of cars.........she's talking to me (so funny)

  • gosh i wish my first car could be one of those.. expensive to buy, expensive to liscense, expensive insurance.... blaarrrg.

  • Yawnn. Cars are so boring -_-"

  • This is the most boring video that you've ever made. . . cars . . . *icky face*

  • hank you are awesome. just next time DFT..P?

  • I Have Just finished watching every vlogbrothers video ever! Having had the awesome of Vlogbrothers to fill the boring emptiness of free-time or insominacism for the last few months all i can say is Thank You!! You have made me very very happy!!

  • I'm so happy for you! I did that in August and have been watching every show ever since. It took me about a week or two to watch every video. Unfortunately, I missed out on the awesomeness of the "book club" for reading Catcher in the Rye, which I read anyway.

  • Thank you Lol!, although how did you manage to watch them all in a few weeks! Thats insane commitment there! lol!

  • I assume the Isengard auto show is where one takes Hobbits to get fuel efficient cars?

  • Hank really has to pee.

  • They're bringing back the Insight! It was my dream car when I first got my permit. :D

  • great video on the auto show.  It's great to see all these new breeds of cars there.

  • I think that green cars are like green mnm's, theres just something special about them that makes you want to eat them...or..in this case jump in a look all fancy while your driving around town... or pretending to but your really at the autoshow. GO NERDFIGHTERS!! WOOT!!!

  • Holy mess, was that the Tiny Toons theme song?

    That's made of awesome!

  • Aha nice! You rock man!

  • By the way, I just finished watching every single vlogbrothers video since the very first Brotherhood 2.0 video.

    This process took me about a month.

    And now, more than ever before, I think I won't ftba.

  • FTBA?

  • Forget To Be Awesome. Mostly commonly seen in the phrase, Don't Forget To Be Awesome.

  • Steak kabobs?

    Oh, Detroit Auto Show, what you won't do to reel in innocent members of society.

  • I have to pee!

  • Oh!! i got to pee

    lol

  • as much as i love the idea of hybrids and green cars, i also think trucks are awesome. at least i don't have to worry about buying a car yet!
