Love this "online version" of Automotive reviews. Audi TT in "Cocaine White" 3:28 LOL!!! 4:18 Build That!!! And that's why GM is playing catch-up. Question is; will they ever catch up? Hope to see G419 at this years NYIAS.
The 370 is so fun to drive! You actually feel like your a racecar driver and you want to take on the track or twisties asap! I drove my buddies new 370 Z I was amazed by it! I was gonna get a Roush Stage 3 but i'm leaning towards the Z maybe the Nismo package since i'm looking to spend around 40 grand. Myy boy is gonna turbo the car and I'd turbo the Nismo if I get it. Test drive that car you will see what I'm talking about. Manual gear box can't be beaten for fun!
I don't understand the complaint of American car interiors. I have not been able to 1) complain about them, they are fine and 2) complain when comparing to Toyotas, Hondas, VWs, etc. They are all the same.
Now whe comparing a Z06 and F430 yes the F430 interior is better, but 3x the price. And I already think the Z06 has a good looking interior and it is very comfortable.
OMG That Buick was horrid!! I've been sayin for years GM should drop Buick and keep Saturn! They sale! Now GM will not have cool cars like the Saturn Sky, Potiac Solstice, G6 GXP, G8 GXP, and they will give us great cars like the Volt, Buick lacern,and Aveo!! Rock on GM only cool cars left are the Cobalt SS , Corette, and Camero 3 cars!!! Thats it!!
stop comparing the 350/370 z to evo's and sti's. thats apples vs. oranges.
- to rm125,
the CTS-V is not the worlds fastes production sedan. that honor goes to the lotus carlton. which is still GM because its a vauxhall. plus, at the time when the car was designed and built GM had a controlling stake in lotus.
+1 on the power upgrades, but the Renovatio is almost as ugly as the travesty at the auto show. I've seen their Vanquish, Bentley GT, and Astons, and while the build quality is excellent, they really do ruin the classy looks of all those cars.
Gotta call you out on the GE jet engine and its "horse power rating". In order to rate this using horse power the engine has to turn a shaft from which it can be measured. This would make it a turbo shaft motor. This is a GE J79 turbo jet egine and is rated at 17,000 ft lb of THRUST.
got it, though you'd actually be calling out Jim Nielsen, who gave me that figure. He said he came up with the horsepower figure based on the weight and acceleration of the car, kind of like a GTech accelerometer would measure horsepower.
Ya 50k is about twice what an accurate rating would be for that thing. From what I've been able to read it looks like he used a direct calculation from the NASA HP ratings for the F4. Which the engine came from and forgot to divide by two since he only has one engine.
hahaha shamwow! i fucken hate those commercials because wen i'm insomniacing i see it all the time that and the GGW commercials haha but those are fine... BOOBS!
Love the show, but adding power to the TT will just make it unsafe in the hands of most regular "sporty" drivers. I have a cocaine white 2.0 turbo and love it in every way. The current power is more than enough whether in town or on mountain roads. Use the extra money on a good exhaust and maybe suspensions.
The price of the car is not just about power, it's about handling, built quality, comfort, styling and Audi excels in all these departments. If power is your only criteria then buy a US car.
its already got the handling and looks. especially the 2008s are sexy. but 170whp isnt saying anything to me. thats SI territory and and all my needs would be fulfilled by the SI
Hey Matt, spend 10 minutes researching the cars you report on and take the import plastic toy out of your rectum before you spout more idiocy about cars. Epic fail man... epic fail.
Hey Matt, love the show. But if you check out insideline or autoblog here on youtube, you can see that the small gas engine is for the generator to charge the batteries.LOL BTW the buicks Ventiports are functional. LOL And the next gen lacrosse (Invicta in China) is based on the design for that concept Riveria.
and a car with a gas engine that charges a battery is still a hybrid. It doesn't matter that the gas engine isn't connected to the drive train. But it might not even be a hybrid. We never see what's under the hood.
I agree, I never argued that point. That's why they are calling them extended range EV vehicles right? Unfortunately battery technology isnt to the point were on such a large vehicle you could get a range of more than 40 miles and be finacially affordable. Hopefully in the future it will be...
tuned porsches are badass. No body modifications just powere modifications are ok because its kinda embarassing to see a civic blowing by you in your ferrari
I guess that buick are prooving that they can make exciting cars. They obviousley have some talented people working there. A bit of a shame they are trying to appeal to 70 year old grannys rather than middle aged people. Even if you compromised and used regulair doors then it would be so much better. The one they are actually trying to sell looks like a generic pile of crap. They dont need a bail out. They need new managers. Maybe you should send in your cv matt.
lol chrysler isnt GM. but as soon as all of em go we'll be happy. I hope chevy, pontiac and cadillac still stay becuase thats where they make a lot of money
Seeing as how Chevy, Pontiac and Cadillac are all under the GM roof, if GM goes, they all will go as well. Or IOW, if GM goes bankrupt, all those car companies will be sold off to the highest bidder at liquidation prices (think how the TVR went).
lol true. and i doubt anyone is going to want to buy them out. maybe just their factories.
I kinda want honda to buy the corvette so it doesnt die off. But american pride wont let them sell the rights to them. A lot of ppl say that they would never buy a honda corvette but a vtech v8 sounds badass to me
A balanced V8 using tech from F1 development, hell yeah. I always preferred a F1 inspired V8 of the Ferrari over hard thumping drowning (glug, glug, glug) sound of American V8's anyway.
xD ups! yeah... u're right.. my bad! =/ ..but still, the american brands are struggling for better quality cars but, they just can't do it as better as European or Asia do!.. and I just don't know why... =/
ok matt you are big enough with automakers to start a movement. can you make a petition or something to build that sweet buick concept? more or less looking like the concept? because that would be great. buicks enclave is a bit odd on the outside, interior is nice though. but the rest of their lineup is terrible, and they are not that couch comfy as the older buicks were. gm makes great concepts but crappy production cars, chrysler is going downhill badly lol. ev vehicle with exhaust pipe lol.
u wanna know a bad buick? try a 2001 LeSabre...that is the SHITIEST car i've ever driven and its absolutely falling apart. Saturn has made a hell of a comeback bringing in euro models to their line up...now why can't buick do that?
Glue-on heat extractor vents on the Buick! Must be the "Fast And The Furious" mentality! Buick EPIC FAIL!!!!

Why didn't you show the CTS-V = worlds fastest production sedan,
The Cobalt SS turbo - fastest production FWD car around the nurinburg.
The Corvette Zr1- Faster than the Ferrrari 430, Porsche gt3, Mercedes AMG Sl65,
The new Camaro SS
The Chevrolet Volt.

I have to agree with the host.
The American car manufacturers have been failing to offering compelling value at certain markets.
Truck, SUV, full-size cars, sports cars. Good.
Small-to-Medium-size cars, a significant market...
...can you say Toyota/Honda/Nissan?
And it shouldn't be this way.
America should produce some good cars in these segments as well.
And finally stop bleeding cash into the auto industries of Japan/Europe!
