Hey Dave Thomas, because you do what you do, i can only assume that you like cars. That said, you should let that excitement shine through. The reason we like British car shows is because they seem to be genuinely excited about cars. I am not saying try to be like Top Gear, but a witty remark now and then wouldn't hurt.

I'm not sure what you want me to do? Jump up and down? I don't like videos where the guys are screaming at you about the car. The other issue we have is, we're a consumer publication, and these videos are used with our own site so we're really trying to walk people through the cars' high and low points and show stuff we can't in a regular review. They're not meant as purely entertainment. Also, we were all hired as writers, not tv hosts and we try out best.

[MrMianWang]

I think audi is much better than infiniti you should test drive both guys there is a big difference between Germans and Japanesse IMO

Very nice car

@Carscom I prefer the no-nonsense style. Others sometimes seem as if they're trying to sell me the car. (which, due to conflict of interest, they just may be!)

I think TonyDano was trying to say stomp on it and let’s see its true nature other than a soft subtle take off. I own a 2004 FX35 and it's a beast and a pussy cat at the same time. It scares me some times with the amount of neck breaking aggression it has especially if you turn off the launch control.

@Carscom how do you land a job getting to review cars, its my dream job but what type of degree do you need to get

@jxxn442 can u design something better?

[daury2006]

It was funny when he said " It's so much fun to drive I'm going to go do some more right now" then turtle pace away from the curb. lol Launch that sucka!!!!!!

@aeroavia89 - yup. for practicality I would not even if I have the money. The FX50 V8 engine will drink gas like nobody's business. You can beat the FX50 engine power with the FX35 if you have it super charged. Again, why would you ask for more when the FX35 300hp is even more powerful than the Lexus, Acura and Lincoln MKS. The FX35 is on neck to neck power rating with the BMW.
