Welcome to AutoAtlantica! I’m a British transplant in the United States and I will be diving into the American car market and culture. New cars, used cars, collector cars, car collections, museums and shows, I hope to cover it all.
I also have a fleet of my own automotive headaches and will cover their ongoing adventures as they undergo repairs to bring them up to snuff.
I have many years of automotive industry experience on both sides of the Atlantic, and with my work writing for a car magazine and blogs, thought a great opportunity could arise from a TH-cam channel bridging the transatlantic divide.
If you have a car or collection you would like featured on the channel, by all means get in touch! Have camera, will travel! My main coverage areas are NY to VA to OH and MI; also AZ occasionally as well as the UK.
Want to get in touch? Please email me at autoatlantica2023@gmail.com and I will respond within 24 hours.

Ford Mustang Mach-E: The Most Controversial New Car Sold Today
มุมมอง 487หลายเดือนก่อน
I drive a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium with the smaller 72kwH battery pack. It’s easily the most controversial new car on sale today by virtue of its name, but is it any good? Furthermore is the smaller battery pack sufficient? I’ve borrowed this one from Jen and Marty and Fred Martin Ford in Austintown, Ohio to find out. #ford #fordmustang #fordmustangmache #electricvehicle #ev

My 1994 Jaguar XJS goes for its inaugural drive of 2024, so I decided to talk about the fascinating history of this car’s development, longevity and the experiences I have had with my particular car.

Lovely! I used to have an early (chrome) B GT but my guilty secret is I rather like the rubber bumper look.
It honestly doesn’t lack power…it suffers from cafe standards tuning. Push the gas pedal more to understand the truth. Many people “solve” the “problem” by installing a pedal commander or getting a tune. I myself don’t see the need when you can simply push the gas pedal more and adjust your foot. Another “solution” is to push the ECT button which changes the shift points, holding the rpms higher between gears. Like you, I love the seating position. At 6’2” coming from sedans all my life, my Tacoma is a great transition in to a truck personally. My primary complaint was the factory sound system which I solved with installation of a powered sub, 2ch amp and front door and dash aftermarket speakers.
At Carlisle I spoke with two former GM engineers that worked on the Fiero project, Both said that the Getrag transmission can hold a maximum of about 170ft lbs of torque reliably. Here is a guy with a swap with an engine that puts out over 250 ft lbs of torque. You know that's not going to last long.
Im was a toyota fan until 2023, their quality went down and it's so sad to see. Some of the new taco's transmissions are blowing up with less than a 1k miles, including the manual trans. Very sad to see.
I think they’ve relied on their reliability laurels for too long.
If you’re traveling through Georgia, I’ve a friend with a Humber Super Snipe, Rover SD1, Lancia Beta Berlina, and a Peugeot 604. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll help make a connection. I also know of a nice 128 wagon in Georgia. I’ve a Euro-spec P6 3500S imported in 2021 and a U.S.-spec 124 sedan, though it’s largely in pieces at the moment.
That sounds tremendous and thank you for the tip! Can you email me your name and also the contact details? Many thanks indeed.

I 've to wait for two months and then I'm getting the Mustang Mach-E 2024 model, black color, can't wait ☺
Congratulations and enjoy! It’ll definitely be worth the wait. As EVs go it feels very nimble.
Great video, thank you
Thank you for watching!
Lunar rock nice wheels n locker . 👍🏼
I slapped down 2K in cash and bought myself an 86 silver fiero in 1992 as an 18 year old ; a year later I drove from southern WI to Miami in the thing navigating with no more than a paper map and road signs 😅 that car was one of the most reliable vehicles I have owned!! The only issue was the endless popping out and replacing those darn fuses🤣good times!!!
Good man!
@@AutoAtlantica I'm a woman but thanks 😂
@@christymoran7308 my apologies! “Good woman” sounds horribly sexist! It’s a great story nonetheless!
@@AutoAtlantica haha no worries! thank you 😊
Always thought the trail edition looked awesome but wasn’t worth it cus they chose to base it off the sr5, I got the off-road premium for barely anymore money, way better options and interior. Liked the detail of this video and never had known the m300 part number you refer to, can you explain it/where ya found it? 👌🤘🇨🇦
A contact at Toyota told me about the internal designation codes.
Nice design 😊
Welcome to America grenadier
Made in France British company bmw engine
I never understood why Toyota charged more for the Trail Edition which has no LED headlights and no MTS.
I thought it was a bizarre specification, rather like a “TRD light.” Even so, at $46K they do charge for it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video and production. Robin is a fantastic guy and true enthusiast. I'm the guy in L.A. with four Arrow sedans of various marques.
Thank you for watching and commenting! Would love to talk to you about your cars sometime, sir!
@@AutoAtlanticaI'd love to, keep up the good work.
Great video
Thank you!
Well done
Thanks!
What a retro mod! The 5.7 is just what this later version Fiero needed. I love the T-shifter. If I recall correctly, the Pontiac R&D sold this concept as a fuel efficient "Urban Car", hence the 4 banger. The prototype reveal was much sportier than Upper GM management expected, but the car show crowds love, love, loved it.
My right ear enjoyed this video
Excellent!
@@AutoAtlanticabut his left ear didn’t!
@@ryw00dnever mind, eh?
Haha same, I had to check to see if my headphones were broken
I used to drive Escapes since they released. The last escape I had was the 2019, before that the 2005. Now I have a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands. It's what the Escape should have been.
i want one so bad
My late dad owned a new H120 in 1970.
My brother's 1st car was an F reg 68 Sunbeam Rapier in.76 as.a 17 years old In.Wakefield West Yorkshire, after that car he had 3 Capris on the Trott.
The Capri was certainly a lot more popular, I love the design of the Alpine though!
@@AutoAtlanticaMy late father ordered a Capri 1600GT 70ish due to the strikes at Dagenham the car was about 6 months coming. He hated after 3 months he part XD it for his 1st Datsun also a J reg 70 . He once ordered in 1980 a brand new Datsun Skyline 240KGT V reg from ordering it to been made coming from Japan to Immingham then to Leeds to collecting it in 10 weeks he said at the time that's Japanese efficiency for you not Ford rubbish. The car before the Capri he also had to wait for due to strikes which was an F reg 2 door Cortina GT not sure if they were 1500 or 1600 . Regarding Capris they were a part of British life every family at 1 time had owned 1.
I'm about to buy one of these, with the 3.5l V6 I hope there reliable
Enjoy! I’m not aware of any inherent reliability issues, just try and find one with as much service history as possible as with any car I’d say.
@@AutoAtlantica alrighty 👍 I'll sure do it
That’s all?
This is just a short. More videos to come on this car.
Sounds like it's in tune and starts the way it's supposed to!! LOVE THE COBRA WHEATHER IT'S A COPY ARE THE REAL DEAL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
More to come on this car. Drives absolutely brilliantly!
Replica
The vast, vast majority are. A video coming up explains everything about this car.
LOVE AC COBRA ❤❤
LOVE AC COBRA 🎉
Both beautiful & in pristine shape! I grew up in Central Pennsylvania,but I am English,been back in England most of the past 38 years. I remember seeing quite a few Sunbeam Alpines & Crickets,but not many saloon Arrows.. .plus I don't remember seeing ANY Simcas in Pennsylvania,& was not aware they were ever marketed there. However I do believe the late 70s to 1990 Plymouth Horizon & Dodge Omni hatchbacks were designed and developed by Simca,as were the similar Chrysler/Talbot Horizons,& sister Simca,in Europe. When I was living back in PA in 1990-1991 & had a friend with a 1980 Dodge Omni & a friend with a 1980 VW Rabbit/Golf(Pennsylvania made at that time for North America,although the first few years of sales there they were imported from Deutschland) & both of my friends' cars had the exact same VW Audi engine! I think it was a 1500 or 1600cc. By the way,do you know which Simca models were sold in The US or Canada in the 60s &/or early 70s?
The Simca 1000 and 1100/1300 were both sold in the U.S.
yes please
Absolutely!
More to come
Nice, starts well.
It was a cool design. The execs at GM were complete idiots though, so here we are marveling at it and the failure that it was. Heck, not even Pontiac is a thing anymore, and further testament to the morons who run GM.
That’s why shows like Hagerty’s Radwood and Festival of the Unexceptional exist so we can marvel at cars like this, despite their foibles.
My dream is to own one of these. I think it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I'm aiming for the one of the V12's, the 5.3l or the 6.0l. I also want to manual swap it as they're plummed and ready for it and seems a terrific upgrade to make. The day I get one, the first place I'm going is to my Dad's to pick him up and take him for a ride in it, which is to say the dream is not only to own a Jag XJS, but to take my Dad out for a ride in one too. Great video, very entertaining.
Thank you for the kind words! When you do buy get one with as much service history as possible (especially the V12) and check the floors. The jacking points are unique to the XJS and they often get damaged.
Paint it Blue 🐎💩🥃😎👌
@@idessaoutlaw this is set up as a race car, hence the livery.
Just bought made in Ohio RDX….GM lost my business
That’s too bad, but the beauty of capitalism! Enjoy your RDX!
Chinese crap
Beautiful. Miss seeing them about.
@@mattsbeamer thank you, she’s a keeper!
Classic
Nice design
If my memory is correct, the Plymouth Barracuda came out a short time before the Mustang. I'm not saying the Barracuda started the Pony Car genre, but I believe it was released earlier than the Mustang.
The Mustang is generally regarded as starting the “pony car” genre.
I think Ford put $70 million US dollars into the updated facelift version.
Sounds about right, around £50 million.
The 1996 Buick Roadmaster would be my pick of your collection, it will be the 96’ Collector’s Edition with the hood badge. My second would be the BMW 740 E38, I’ve been hankering after one but I’d want the 728 base specification model in pre-face lift with the orange indicators which I believe was only available in European models.
A very nice review.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.
We are about to purchase a clean, low mileage’13 in lunar blue.
@@ultrablue2 congratulations! These are lovely cars.
Hey, I don’t know if it’s just me, but one of my headphone speakers works on this video. :)
Unfortunately when it uploads to YT it becomes mono
There is no right channel audio though. Can’t do this with headphones users out there.
@@bullit199 it’s a problem I have uploading to YT sadly.
Very interesting history of Rootes,Chrysler UK,etc. I was very surprised to learn that Imps were briefly sold in the US! I never saw any there when I lived in Pennsylvania from 1972. Do you know which years Imps were sold there? I remember seeing quite a few mid 60s Hillman Minxes in the State College,PA area,in the 70s.
Yes, the Imp was briefly sold here I know of one or two survivors.
It's such a well cared for,beautiful car! 😍😍
It’s beautiful.
I own 4 Avengers here in New Zealand and have been classic racing one since 1984, they are the best cars, far better than the Ford Escort for speed and handling. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. This car was a pleasure to see.
