Cars America never got for some stupid reason
Or cars that will be discontinued in 2022
Touring best ones include the rover sd1
new Bentley continental
merc 300 sl
what's the 1st one?
I'd say the cayenne saved porsche more than the boxter. I know a lot of car people don't like the cayenne, but without the cayenne porsche may not even exist right now
Cayenne made them rich, Boxster saved them from bankruptcy.
@@TopCarsTV you didn't mention the 947 :(
@@Eutimias I referenced it
@Sink it was actually based on tuareg/Q7. But It's a Porsche!!!!! You would expect better from those two. Today Porsche sells the most fuel efficient high performance cars.
Because of the 911 coupe design
@@Eutimias wtf is a 947.
1.) jaguar xf
2.) mercedes 300sl
3.) bentley continental GT
correct
Cadillac CTS and Escalade
@@heroforhire6921this guy said it correct.
Jag XF
300SL
And Continental GT
Idk what are you thinking, but these cars don't have a hint of american
@@strahinjakerezovic104 I agreed with him I’m adding cars that saved their company and those two are significant to me
@@heroforhire6921 How about explaing it from the start so people know wtf youre talking about?
Incredible that BMW launched the isetta at the same time as the Mercedes 300 sl big difference. Btw im still a BMW fan
Lol……
I love the 300SL but I also love the 2014 M4
@Elias kannst du deutsch/german?
@@SEVEN-NIGHTRIDE ja

Even though the DB7 was basically a recycle bin special. It's still a fantastic car. I love the looks of it. My dad had a DB7 when I was a kid and Everytime summer came around I got excited to ride with him.
DB7 was a modified Jag XK prototype.
One very important car not mentioned here is the Peugeot saviour, the 205. Huge part of its success was the Group B 205 T16, which became the most successful car in Group B World Rally Championship. Group B's immense popularity and the success of the 205 T16, winning the driver's and the constructor's title in both full seasons it contested, made the 205 sales sky rocket, which saved the struggling Peugeot from going under. Cool to see one of my favorite brands was saved by one of my favorite cars of my favorite motorsport.
Hmm, the 205 was a great car, but not sure that the rally success was what drove it. Even now I remember the "Oh, what a feeling, the 205" TV ads that made a mere number sound exciting. Then it won Car of the Year etc. Because it was simply incredibly well designed. Plenty of them were going strong when 20+ years old (my wife had one and we often saw others of similar vintage). One typical detail design point; wheel arches with no recesses where mud could build up, hence no rust in this usually weak spot for so many cars. And of course every boy racer wanted the 1.9 GTi.
Is it ironic that DB7 saved Aston Martin yet the company has been bankrupt 7 times in its history? I guess this company really can't avoid number 7 even in non-James Bond related context
The way BMW is digging a hole for themselves I think ISETTA will soon have to come in a newer form.
Not really. BMW, despite selling some of the ugliest cars on the market, is still very profitable. The salles are superb.
@@davidc4396 which tells us just one thing. BMW buyers have 0 taste
Probably as an electric variant
@@davidc4396 Which is a shame considering how their older cars were just beautiful
@@davidc4396 yes because of CHINA who only likes cars that are an abomination
The jong xina joke tho
What a cultured man

@@TopCarsTV oh zamn i didnt think you'd see this lmao
@@Unknown-vv1td I read all the comments. 😉

The DB7's front end styling became some of the most influential ever, through a process that was somewhat controversial. Ford's styling department designed it for Aston-Martin and it became a very distinctive hit. During the 2000s Ford sold Aston-Martin and started using the same theme on their own cars. Aston-Martin was pissed but without a legal leg to stand on since the original styling was done by Ford.
Ur editing and speech n sense of humour is EPIC!!
Thanks Shaurya
exactly that's why I like this channel, high quality content here
Same!!!
@@TopCarsTV Why didn't you scream "CUT!" at the end of the video :(((((((((((((((
I feel like an oil crisis, financial recession or a war are the only reasons people actually voluntarily bought all of these econoboxes and smol cars :v
The only exception being the Gallardo and Boxster, although you could argue they're more economical than their bigger sister models.
Regarding the last three cars, I could figure out the 300 SL and the Bentley Continental GT, but not the first one
the first is the jag xfr cant forget it from gran turismo 5
its the 2008 xf jag
@@sakvv i would not be so keen on the year that car in the photo is, but yeah, that gen jag xf, for sure. Their also a BARGAIN, especially for the supercharged v8 models
1970s: RIP Muscle cars like the Charger R/T, Mach 1 Mustang, COPO Camaro and Challenger T/A and R/T
2000s: Revival of Muscle cars
2040s: Dead *again
The first one's a Jaaaag
"Imagine a world without Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Porsche". I don't have to imagine. I live in such a world. (And honestly I'm not missing anything)
The issetta will never cease be my dream car. No reason, just love it’s quirkiness and story.
This is by far the most underrated automotive channel on all of TH-cam. I subscribe to all the big names, but get way more excited whenever you post!
facts
You are the next Jeremy Clarkson man. Your humour is next level 😂
😐

Ford also saved Jaguar when they came out with the XK8 which was very similar in design with the DB7.
They were the same cars, but jag had v8s only, where as AM had v12, because Ford did not want to make a cheaper competitor for their own sinking brand
0:28 Actually, Plymouth was killed in 2001, not in 2008. 0:29 GM later revived Hummer as an EV sub-brand within GMC.
don't say that, we have to keep the narrative going
You’re videos are brilliantly well thought out and edited. Thanks for the laughs! Cheers!
Great, as always!
You made me laugh, I wish every week would be a vid from you bro!
One of the best video productions I've seen. Great job.
Dude, your videos and especially humour totally got me!
Finally your back I've watched all your videos at least twice at this point
The 205 saved Peugeot and was one, If not the best small car at its time
I REALLY love💝 your videos,this is one of the best channels I've found on TH-cam👍.
9:48
"Which, despite being the first lambo that had all its bolts tightened properly"
That line made me laugh so hard my stomach started paining
I literally laughed out loud to the Epstien joke...
Subscribed!
I like your sense of humor!
Simply Simply lovely video
I was loving BMW till i finally discovered the true hero who saved his company which is small, cute and fun to drive and good to afford! Bravo Isetta! Bravo!
another pure quality content
Hey man! Great videos about cars man!
Amazing as usual 👍
You forgot the 60s Mustang, they SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES far FAR BETTER than FORD ever expected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice video, I wanna to see another one with jaguar and Cadillac aswell
Thank god I’m this early! Love your vids stype ❤️🔥
Do you have any restrictions from TH-cam to upload more videos?
If not, I will love to see more content from you.
No restrictions. Just me doing this thing for 2 weeks. It takes a loooong time; usually one day of work is enough to edit only one car.
Hey love the vids you should have over a mil tbh
another perfect upload.
superb work
hell ya another cool vid!
I love your videos :)
Thx for video
FYI... While the Isetta kept BMW solvent in the 1950s, the company was in dire straights by the mid-1960s (again). The 1500 got the company re-directed, then the 1602 and (2 years later) 2002 brought the company to true profitability. There have been a few hiccups since, but nothing like the old days. Plus, the 1602/2002 were both splendid cars to drive; something nobody ever accused the Isetta of being.
stype plss make your videos on weekly basis your videos are so good
best videos on youtube
i think you should include car reviews. have watched all your videos
PORCSHE THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN.....with the music too!!! Then there is the Chubby Chef with the "Oh so good".....Elaine from Seinfeld's "Bla, Bla, Bla's".....Computer Blue Screen of death.....Brilliant!
Great sense of humor. 🤣🤣
Ha, I think I subscribed to you because you do really good cheap shots, to thumbs up,
7:24 love those little isettas
This is sofar the best car review channel I've come across, the humor is second to none. I'm laughing at the John Cena joke and crying..stype your sense of humor is not of this world😂😂
Thanks man 👍
legend has returned
Donut media made a vid about Buicks ‘rebirth’ in China
I saw.
If you're implying that I'm stealing their idea - my Patreons voted for me to make this topic on 29th Dec 2021. www.patreon.com/posts/60464247
The next day I put together the list and started writing the script.
10 days later Donut video about Buick came out.
They also made a video where they smear Ferrari, just as irrelevant of an Information as them doing a video on buick
@@TopCarsTV noo noo mate , I like your content I am just saying if ya want more elaboration on Buick and how they are still successful you could watch Donuts vid on it , sorry I didn't express what I wanted to say properly
@@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire smear Ferrari ? , I heard James say different , but you got to agree some of Ferraris lawsuits are crazy
@@TopCarsTV Btw I didn't expect you to read my comments , props for you since you actually read comments and even replies , this really keeps the community active , and I admire your way of explaining how cars and their history very well , and somewhat controversial but truthful opinions which gives a very honest vibes , ATB with your content man .
Ah yeah, another quality content.
That Buick Asian minivan is awesome tho
I had a 2011 Mercury Milan for almost 4 and half years. I got it in June 2012 about 3 1/2 months after my car accident. I picked the car since it had lowest mileage from the Ford Fusions at that time. It was a very good cat in driving. I test drove it and drove it home that same day. For a couple of weeks both of my parents were driving it. When I finally drove it in early July that same year. I totaled it by hitting a deer the 2nd time on December 8 or 9th, 2016. The 1st one was 8 months before. I’m a Ford gal and mostly drive a Ford vehicle.
Let's go babyy
Please make videos more frequent ❤😊😂
9:13 oh my god 🤣

1. Jaguar XF
2. Mercedes 300SL

Good video
9:13. Ok. Thats not playing fair. Pure 3 stooges comedy, Boink.
6:05 Man, that Jepstein joke was so dark that made me lose my sh#t LMAOOOO!!
Hey stype where do you get that commercial for Buick regal
2:15 the fact that he even included A.D made it waaayyy funnier
Fwiw, I was a passenger in a friend’s Aston-Martin on the Nordshleife back straight and did indeed say “hey, this ash tray is from my RX-7”.
Peugeot 205.. Peugeot was nearly bankrupt and put everything in the little car.. and man did it save Peugeot! one of the most popular hatchbacks and not to mention in Group B rallying it smashed to dominant Audi Quattro.. untill Lancia came back with their Delta S4
I wouldn't say that Lancia smashed it. 205 was, after all, the most successful car in the Group B
Nice.
Can you do best touring cars including the rover sd1
thx isseta!!!!!!
The audi quattro also kinda saved audi because they werent owned by the vga concern and these sold pretty well because it was the first car that drove up a ski jumping track
I'd say quattro's success came primarily from rallying, bringing AWD and turbo into rally at the start of Group B.
Welcome to top 10 underrated TH-camrs
No.1 TopCars TV
5:59 Narrarator forgot to mention the Civic was (one of?) the only car(s) at that time, that passed gas regulations of the era therefore selling extremely well, thanks to its CVCC engine technology.
Humor level 💯💯💯
the bmw 700 saved bmw. More than 188,000 of them were sold before the 700 went out of production in 1965. Bmw also left the economy car market at the time.
2 of the 10 buicks you mentioned that were china exclusive are in north america (lacrosse and encore)
Emperor Pu Yi's Buick that you show on 1:01 is a Packard...
Love the way the 'F*#k yeah' appears 😂
Bing chilling
I had a Boss in the late 90s that had 2 Isatas
4:37 Lucky for them
4:51 Omg that looks so nice
5:48 No, only a year later the crisis happened
6:13 I have a toy Isetta so what a surprise!
Hilarious how the Opel insignia, ( a truly mundane and mediocre family hatch in Europe) is the Buick regal, seen as a prestige marque in China 🤣
Yeah the OPC is a beast though
As cars go, the DB7 is gorgeous in appearance.
Thank u isetta
The Lamborghini Gallardo is a pretty sexy car. Plus it performs well. I know a few people who have owned them. Plus they were all over New York City when I was a kid
2:09 the RS2 actually looks pretty lovely in red lel.
In europe we have a Opel Insignia sedan and Wagon with a 6 speed manual with 325ps
Thank you isseta
