@@dragospahontucos Jason said working for motortrend was terrible and he got a better offer from ISSIMI and left then went over to Hagerty cos again I think he said he got a better offer from Hagerty.
Jason's video on the Supra at Hagerty is truly excellent, game-changing content; it shows the level of care and production and fact and logic that can be packaged into an entertaining product, and how good journalists in any field (cars included) go beyond the press releases and PR spin and deliver information to their readers/viewers.
The Yaris is only a Mazda in the Americas, where they slapped a Toyota bumper on a Mazda 2. Everywhere else it's a bespoke Toyota and the GR is based on that one. But yeah, definitely do the DS episode. A wider talk about hydropneumatic Citroens would be appreciated too.
@@dragospahontu probably, but think about how much work goes into every show they make here, let alone at Hagrety. an hour show i believe requires a bit more than just an hour of of time.
Yes, please speak about the DS. I've been trying to convince my girlfriend that she wants this car. Sadly, she refuses to sell her 1996 Mazda Protege, and who can blame her. That car is stupid reliable and surprisingly fun to drive.
Always a treat to see another new carmudgeon Also JLR just made the Land Rover design director head of whole JLR design, so hopefully Jaguar would have more beautiful interiors
The whole thing about the Supra is that it's entirely intellectually dishonest. There's some claim they made talking about how the car had to have an I-6, so they had to get that from BMW. Firstly, whining about I-6, vs v6 vs v8 or whatever engine would end if the car was good. Nissan flipped the Z to v6, the GTR to v6, BMW themselves dropped the I-6 in the M3 for a whole generation and it was great. I feel like people would welcome a IS350 coupe with pumped up styling more readily than this... thing.
How much longer are they going to let Magnus Walker say the same stuff over and over at the new Hagerty. Camisaa always manages to keep it fresh, like his ____.
Yo! Where’s the podcast version lol. Seriously though, I’m so glad you guys are still doing these. Keeps me sane when it’s -30°C out and I can’t go play with my cars
Jason - I can help with the sight issue (getting old). If you wear contacts, you can get one that's a weaker strength into your left eye and correct in the other. That way, your brain trains to use your left eye for reading and the both for far. It's my current setup and it's awesome. Not sure how long it will last but so far so good!
@@forzaviola9512 - my eyesight has been terrible since I was a kid. Last year my contacts in each eye was like -4.0 and when I started having trouble reading, my optometrist put a -4 in my right and ‘think’ about a -3.4 in my left. My right is my dominant so again, after about a week I was able to train my brain to see close with left and far with both (but really right). If I take out my contacts, reading becomes crystal clear. I just cannot see anything ahead.
I really really love this show. Like if you said, “why do you live this show,” I’m not sure I could say why... but it’s definitely my favorite show on TH-cam. A+ 💯
Multi-focal contact lenses, with portions of the lens for near, and portions of the lense for far. GAME changers. Couldn't see both the road and the instrument panel before.
Hopefully it's just a stepping stone for Toyota for more cool cars. Already the JDM GR lineup is more tilted towards bodykits, mild suspension upgrades and strut braces.
As a lifelong car enthusiast and having worked in the exotic car industry for 25 years who despises so much of the new car marketing and rebranding BS thank you guys for telling it like it is. I can't believe I just discovered you.
This is a great theme for an episode. Loved hearing Saab in the mix as they are a very rare topic for Jason-Hyphen. Every time I think about selling my 9-3 ragtop, there's a sunny day in Seattle and, like Jason, that thought turns to noooo never. It's been a minute since they did this, will have to look to see if they ever did the Peugeot DS episode. Thanks guys, love this stuff!
Speaking of Haldex, I bought a ‘08 R32 coming from a NC MX5, I learned the hard way that a front heavy FWD with Haldex does not behave at all like RWD...
Regarding how RR should have gone electric... Absolutely spot on. I have been saying this ever since Tesla proved it could be done 10 years ago. the Phantom was the PERFECT platform to go electric. As you said, no one goes on cross-country trips with their phantom, that car is all about quiet, smooth, luxury. Weight would have been an asset. The floor being low and flat would have made ingress and egress easier, and given more room in the rear cabin. There are way more positives to it than negatives. I can't believe BMW missed this opportunity, but then again, maybe I can.
Well I dont think everything was bad at Jaguar under Ford First of all the Quality of the cars (XJ40,XJS) improved dramatically. Also I think Jaguar nailed it with the "Jaguarness" with the X308 XJR, that was also under the control of Ford.
I just got to the NEON part. My first new car was a 98 Neon RT. It was a great car and at the time people stopped my to ask what it was...People think it was a joke but it was non stop.
Always happy to see you guys back. Please explain the continued existence of Mazda. Is it an accident of history? Or evidence of a God, à la (Guy) Kawasaki?
Guys, you two create absolutely fantastic duet. This podcast rocks. YT contents based on real, not influencers', knowledge is smth to behold. Please, do it more frequently. Chris Harris with the collecting cars podcast, Andrew Frankel and Dan Prosser with the Drive Nation and You. Same master league.
GM was making bizarre decisions here in the UK in the late 00s and early 10s. We got Vauxhalls, obviously, Saabs and then a few Chevrolet badged cars for some baffling reason. Also fly high Holden 🙌
Stellantis (PSA and FCA) have said they are going to create unique identities for all (Fiat, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Opel, Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot, and DS, wait, this sounds like the international version of British Leyland!) brands.
🙌 for telling the truth about the supra mk5, every mule I saw around the socal canyons was always testing with assorted group of BMW mules, never with other Toyotas.
12:02 also in most modern engine bays, there is enough space for the biggest engine and THAT IS IT. unless they redesigned the firewall (they didn't) there was not 2 inches of room to move the engine back.
37:02 I'm pretty sure the reason the electric system wouldn't work on a rolls yet, is simply because it's the wrong kind of luxury for what that customer wants at this specific time. Electric is still way too cutting edge for Rolls, a company that exudes old money. They don't spend so little attention to their Infotainment by accident, it's to get the driver to focus on something else other than the gizmos. yes, low volume is great, but the customer base just isn't there yet.
48:07 the funny thing is SAAB almost survived, had it not been for GM. The way I understand it, what happened is that GM had a deal with Spyker that the 9-4x would get lead production for x amount of time. which would have saved SAAB and spyker by giving the company to to properly finish the 9-5. But once the check cleared from Spyker for SAAB, GM ignored the deal, focusing on other cars on the same platform in the same facility. this meant that the 9-5's production, which Spyker did have control over, had to start ASAP. crunching development down to unacceptable levels, and resulting in an unfinished product and a flop. A move that killed both Spyker and SAAB.
52:09 and they are crazy over valued as a result. their worth also greatly depends on keeping and expanding the Tesla domain indefinitely, that is not sustainable. Remember tesla doesn't just make money from selling their cars, they make their money from insuring their cars, their charging network, their second hand set up, and all different kinds of resale. so while they are doing well, all of those are pluses. the second any of that slows down, all of those pluses become minuses. their charging network becomes costly to maintain, if they can't get rid of their second hand cars they just be come a giant money pit for the company. if a company only insuring teslas suddenly has no teslas to insure, that's bad. you get the idea. so that's why I'm carefully watching the cybertruck, if that goes badly and other companies start picking away at tesla's current customers this giant could fall over night I'd also like to point out that this is the first year tesla made a profit. yeah there was a huge upfront cost to that but considering it looks like they are dumping it all right back into high risk investments, they have no room to recover once the dominos start to fall, and Paypal won't be able to come to the recuse this time.
Btw there are two French car companies, Renault (which is partly owned by the French government) and the PSA group (which has Peugeot, Citroen, DS and then bought Opel/Vauxhall). PSA is also about to merge with FCA while Renault is working with Nissan/Mitsubishi
To be clear, the current yaris SEDAN is a Mazda 2. The current yaris HATCHBACK is still Toyota’s in-house NCP platform with the in-house built 1.5 liter 1NZFE engine (that traces its roots to the 5-E engine from the Tercel) The hatchback is a more genuine car, true to Toyota’s history of making simple no thrills reliable cars.
Toyota is a pretty good parent to Lexus, Mazda, and Subaru. Honda tried its best with Acura in the 90’s, but kinda dropped the ball after the 2008 recession hit. Nissan and Mitsubishi are struggling to raise Infiniti, and even with the rebadged Mercedes help.
Jason was spot on with the big brand’s electric cars looking like cartoons. Everything doesn’t have to look like a concept. Like the horrendous BMW i3, put that drivetrain in a normal 3 series body and it’s actually desirable. That’s why their e-golfs seem like such a great option because they look normal.
I neeeed an episode on the ds!! And the modern day equivalent! And if you're broke and want that kind of transportation where should you look! Please! Awesome conversation as always!
Can you make a episode about the fca-psa merge called stellantis. Would like your opinion on where the different brands should be, how to take them there and if they will kill of some brands of. It will also be a nice way to bring the Citroën DS in to the episode.
Okay, I've never actually driven a quattro, Subaru or other full-time 4WD car, but I have owned a Skoda Octavia Haldex 4x4 estate (station wagon) and after the front -wheel-drive VRS I owned before it, the difference in handling was night and day, especially on wet roads. Maybe the always-on systems are better, but compared to 2WD, Haldex is a godsend.
Chrysler also owned the Rootes Group, which was a mishmash of French and British car companies. And companies like DeSoto and Fargo. Hyphen can speak about the DS as much as he'd like as far as I'm concerned, and I look forward to it.
Subaru enthusiast - they hit a market in the midwest and are nealy unmatch for not only capable and practical but the fact that they are seemingly behind the curve attributes to conventionality which is good for the time being. They seem aged when you get in a few of the recent models but that's what appeals to some. Many are the people driving 10 mph you referenced 😂
Citroen DS. Yes, please! About Jason's observation about Subie drivers being left lane bandits; They used to be in Volvos. Volvo pushed safety so hard that people who don't know how to drive bought them, thinking they would be safer. Now Subaru pushes safety hard, and they still don't know how to drive. This is not a comment about all Subaru drivers, obviously. Plenty of WRX and BRZ bros tearing it up out there.
You missed Aston Martin's styling rebirth that happened under Ford. They might have been terrible cars, but they set the stage for the next quarter century plus worth of Aston Martins.

As long as he gets to plug Hagerty, why would they complain? Free advertising.

@@dragospahontucos Jason said working for motortrend was terrible and he got a better offer from ISSIMI and left then went over to Hagerty cos again I think he said he got a better offer from Hagerty.

The Yaris is only a Mazda in the Americas, where they slapped a Toyota bumper on a Mazda 2. Everywhere else it's a bespoke Toyota and the GR is based on that one.
But yeah, definitely do the DS episode. A wider talk about hydropneumatic Citroens would be appreciated too.
Important to state that. I was very confused by this statement because I didn't know that Toyota did this in the US.
20 minute intro before Jason and Derek even get into the main titled topic, ahh how i have missed the Carmudgeon show.
Why did they stop doing these?

Please speak at length about the Citroen DS. I wouldn't say no to a sprinkling of Traction Avant and 2CV on top.
It’s like they know when I’ve just finished rewatching the first 41 episodes, for the 8th time.
Citroen DS! I sat in one and the seat felt like Heaven.
Totally up for a Citroen episode with the SM and the SM
Yes! My week has been made! :D
Also, yes speak at length about the DS. But also include the SM and BX.
I WANT TO HERE HYPHEN TALK AT LEGNTH ABOUT THE DS
SCREAMING AT MY DESK: Jeep, Jeep, Chrysler did pretty okay as a steward for the Jeep brand!
Me too!!! Aside from the Commander, I think Chrysler did a good job with Jeep.
Jeep was reliable until Chrysler started using cheap parts for them.
@@simianmoonstudios yes but people don't buy Jeeps well at least wranglers because they're reliable they buy them because it's a cool toy
@@TwoDollarGararge Can't argue there. 👍
YES on the DS. 🔥 And a bit on the FCA + Groupe PSA merger, maybe.

Maybe you could even continue the French theme and talk about Alpine as well...?
DS lecture? I’m in. 🙂

They are talking about the North American market Yaris. Not the GR.
So every British company that are owned by the Germans😂
Btw, I remember when top gear talked about this a decade ago. True then and even more true now
Rolls Royce and Bentley are doing alright, aren't they? And Mini was resurrected from the dead.

Hyphen isn't really Adam Sandler's friend. Letting him do a whole hour long episode with whatever the hell was on his neck
I AM SO ANNOYED, I can't even focus on what they are saying - is that a fucking piece of gum?

Respect for speaking the truth on Haldex.
Yaris being a Mazda is US problem. In Europe it is totally Toyota :)

To add to the Rolls Royce point - Rolls Royce owners don't do road trips, period. If they need to go anywhere farther than a 2-hour drive, they fly.
