While James and Thomas' appearance genuinely surprised me, that Lucid Air drifting tire burst segue into the R1t hauling is freaking genius. Great work, guys!
@@blizzard270 same! This video is a turducken of joy for me: my favorite EV, in a great review, with a cameo from one of my favorite auto review channels!
The production quality of these videos is amazing and Jason has to be one of the best presenters ever. You can really see his passion and enthusiasm in each video. Keep up the awesome content!!
The throttle house cameo was a pleasant surprise, as they’re my favorite car reviewers. The production quality is as great as ever and Jason is just a fantastic host. Hagerty doesn’t disappoint.
I had just watched TH and their Hummer EV at Willow Springs, and thought I wonder if this was filmed around the same time.....well, very pleasant answer on that!
The sound production in this video really stands out. The music, motors, engines, tires, all come through crystal clear like you are sitting in the car with Jason. There should be an Oscars-type awards ceremony every year for videos published on TH-cam, including all the technical categories as well as acting.
@@jubayerwasidraiyan5874 To be fair, a lot of the "biggest TH-camrs" *became* as big as they are because they put a *lot* of effort, time and care into their productions. And yes, being able to afford to hire separate editors to compile and edit footage is a luxury of being successful that does give those TH-camrs a big advantage over smaller channels that are still one-man shows but, like with existing film festivals, there can be multiple categories, including a set of awards specifically to provide channels with under 1 million/500k/250k (etc.) subscribers the same level of exposure as the biggest channels would get at the event.
Clarkson and the crew are pretty much legends. Throttle House and especially Jason here are just epic. I haven’t watched a video of any of you guys and not enjoyed it immensely. The machines you guys get to drive is truly epic, on top of that Jason could make the Prius story interesting. Don’t forget Savage Geese, great group. Straight pipes kind of annoy me and the smoking tire is great but almost to tight maybe even bordering pretentious but that’s me
The Lucid Air review by Throttle House was one of my favourite car reviews ever, Top Gear included, I'm a huge fan of theirs and the last time they collaborated with Jason it was pretty amazing. This however, this is somehow even better. I'm astonished. The bar has been raised.
@@KimH007 It practically is lol. This car gets more complaints than Teslas. I still think it's one of the best looking vehicles though but not worth it atm.
If this is the best of Mercedes and Tesla, could Lucid achieve in upcoming models best of Alfa / Honda / Porsche / Ferrari / Lambo? The emotion, sensation, and dynamics with beauty and sensuality? It's a high bar.
The Throttle House/Hagerty love is epic and I’m here for it. The two best automotive channels on the web sharing the spotlight. Plz keep doing what you’re doing. Bravo gentleman.
@@davidemartorana4708 Actually Jason did take part in one of their episodes (full collab): "2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 vs Camaro ZL1 1LE vs Hellcat Redeye" Also, he did some small cameos about as big as their part in the above video: "Tesla Model 3 Performance Review" "2021 BMW M4 Competition Review" There are a few other cameos, but I can't remember which video it was.
This is amazing! Standing ovation for the Hagerty team, Jason and Anthony. I'll have to watch this several times, I'm just blown by the production level, storytelling, and cinematography. Thank you!
Jason, so creative and entertaining. And I’ve only watched the intro so far. I literally LOL’d at the Tesla 2.0 vanity tag. Home run. Again. Only thing I would add, and I bet you both considered this, is flame tracks as the Lucid zooms off and disappears back to the future. 😆 I just love your stuff. Whether I get to be part of it or not. The best car-enthusiast-centered productions I’ve ever seen. Thanks again Hagerty for giving Jason and Anthony (Director behind the camera) a platform to express their visions.
@@hughlevantjames905 Top Gear was never this good. Maybe Chris at his best is close to this, and he did some spectacular driving, but unless you're really in love with Clarkson's metaphors they were never as good as these Hagerty produced videos with Jason.
That is my immediate thought when I see these come up: awesome! Another Jason Cammisa / Anthony Esposito production. I am settling in to watch this on my TV [plugs in HDMI cable].
I was literally on a similar mind track after I watched this one- 'Did... Did I just watch the opening of a Marvel movie?' Insanely good cinematography and great music choices to go with it. 👌🏾Honestly the best work from Jason Cammisa I've seen yet. The intro alone blows all other Icons reviews out of the water.
The Holy Trinity of automobile-dom on TH-cam, Cammisa with Thomas and I'm James! You three should get your own show, it'd be brilliant. This was such an amazing episode, really moves the bar for YT reviews.
Just have to say, the writing, production, cinematography, editing, and presentation sets a new standard, a very high standard! Just amazing! Throw in a bit of collaboration with the guys at Throttle House, the jokes and puns, it’s perfect! Really well done! Finally something that is a worthy successor (in leaps and bounds) to the original Top Gear trio!
except 2 guys are missing, though the British guy's narration did remind me of same, fyi The top gear "original" trio are from Top Gear 2.0 , bbc is now on top gear v4, Leblanc sucked they should have put him with this guy on top gear "America" and maybe that show would have survived. this guy sometimes sounds like Ryan Reynolds lol
OMG, the Throttle House cameo I LOOOOVED. You three are literally my most favourite car enthusiasts ever, up there with the Top Gear trio. That was really fun, and the jokes were 100% TH! I would even love to work with you some day. I make, build and modify tech, focusing on mechatronics, hardware and software. Could do some really cool stuff.
Been a fan of Jason Camissa since motor trend and he has gotten better with each video. This is not a TH-cam video but a movie. Special mention to the entire Hagerty team for producing this spectacular content.
What an outstanding video. This is what car nuts really want! Hagerty Media makes 80% of my favorite car content right now. And apparently Thomas & James of Throttle House caught Hagerty’s attention. I agree with a previous comment: a North American Top Gear style show with Jason, Thomas & James sounds like loads of fun!
@@user-ct1lf3hf1v ….I’m guessing you got triggered by the thumbnail and not see the video? The Air was made by the chief engineer of the Model S for crying out loud, or you also think that’s a lie?
The TH-camr "Meet Kevin" had a much better video on analyzing the Lucid Air from every aspect of the car. This video is like a paid advertisement that only highlights three things.
This was literally the most enthralling automotive video I’ve ever watched. Jason is absolutely amazing at story telling and the cinematic quality of this is 10/10. Brilliant!
@@dom9882 Yes... and its a fantastic show!!! But that is a major television show with a massive production budget. This is one guy with a couple of cameras and some video editing on his home PC. I suppose Top Gear was technically "better", but not by much.
I'm one of those weird people who watch youtube videos with the captions on, and i gotta say I was not disappointed one bit -- hilarious. The production quality of the videos on this channel are honestly second to none.
You have to be a content creator or a cameraman to truly understand the amount of work they have done to create this video... Tiny bits that require an enormous amount of work for a relatively small end result. it differentiates the exceptional ones, like this one, from all other great ones out there. Unmatched production quality on a topic and a car which we know deserve it...
Actually I think you have to be a producer like myself to really understand. My mind was going thru everything from the drones, the permits, the transportation, the meals, the insurance, the payroll, EQ, on and on and on. A cameraman sees 1/1000th of the work the production team is engaged in. And a content creator? Pfffft. They have no idea.
@@fakenorwegian4743 You are right the producer have a lot of headaches too crew just do a specified job.I just meant in general you gotta work in the field to truly appreciate the amount of work and time... In this day and age lot of great videos on TH-cam. Audiences are use to that but even smaller videos shot on a desk takes quiet bit of work and time some just take it for granted videos have to be at certain quality like everything has to be this good.
Okay, benchmarking E39 M5. What a bold statement from Lucid air… that instantaineously gained my thumbs up. I always wondered why electric car companies are tech junkies and not car junkies. Thank god we got this car
The quality of hagerty videos just cannot be applauded enough. Their videos are being seen by millions and still I would say they are underrated. Not to mention how much of great host Jason is.
I caught myself smiling throughout this entire video. And the special appearance from the TH guys was the cherry on top. Jason and Hagerty have outdone themselves, again.
I’ve been on TH-cam for 13 years without leaving a comment. Watching this was like having the cinematic experience of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. Amazing work Anthony!
ICONS drops yet another masterpiece of a video. I can't thank Hagerty enough for giving Cammisa & Esposito a chance to bless us enthusiasts with content. Rivian Icons video next?
This is perfection. The script, cinematography, audio, pacing, editing, VFX... it is flawless. Congratulations to everyone involved, I can't believe this content is free.
This is how you advertise a car. The thrills that went through my body are unlike anything i've ever felt from an "advertisement." Great job with the intense music and extreme footage.
This is I think the most stunning and artistically put together car reviews I've ever seen! Adam Sandler just raised the bar. And to see my other 2 favorite Throttle House reviewers .. that was icing on the cake!! Well done!!
I think part of what makes this video so good is that while primarily promoting the Lucid Air, you also give credit to the highlights of the other cars instead of mocking their flaws. Gives an impression of a more objective approach, which is great.
The production quality of this review is phenomenal. Kudos to all in front and behind the cameras including post production personnel. You guys hit a grand slam with this one! Awesome collaboration/cameo with Throttle House too.
Wow. Just wow. Jason, you and your production team are the best in the biz. The quick drifting shots of the Lucid and Rivian together are epic cinematic magic.
Wow. Every single episode of the ICONS is a step ahead and becomes my benchmark for the best car video I've ever seen. But this isn't just one-step further, this is a walk ahead. Incredible cinematography, story telling, and content. One can only aspire to achieve a fraction of this quality in their own content. Great job!
This has to be the BEST work you've ever done, Jason! Amazing camera work and editing. And the cameo from Thomas and James was a piece of brilliance! You all make a great trio! CONGRATS!!!

I used to install large motors and pumps in my electrician past life, I know how heavy they can be. Watching him casually walk around with that in his arms might be the biggest mind F of this video for me. Absolutely amazing.
That got my attention too, I knew it was compact but had no idea that it would be that light. Pure engineering genius, Elon may struggle to top that, even with his carbon fibre wrapped Plaid whatever.
WHAT!? When did car reviews become this insanely high quality!? This video is insane! Hollywood level! AAA! Mind blown 🤯 Couldn't care less about Lucid Air, but i just had to watch the entire video.
This needs ten times the views it has, feels as if I'm watching Top Gear again, the track test is just pure bliss, the sound design, the imposition, the shot selection, all sublime. I keep going back 12:43 and watching from there over and over again, I'm less excited about the car and more excited about what I'll get to see from Jason and Anthony.
This is actually worth watching with the subtitles on - they're hilarious! Another amazingly done video, and the Throttle House guys made it that much better!
Incredible production quality Jason, I'm hooked! Regarding Lucid what a out of the box phenomenal achievement. Is this the renaissance of American automotive manufacturing?
It feels that way. If Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian all succeed in the long run this will be the most significant era in the American car industry in 100 years. Just need Cadillac to finally fulfill its potential, and Lincoln to keep up the mini renaissance it’s been going through, and we will have a spate of highly attractive higher end domestic options for the first time in my life.
WATCH WITH CAPTIONS!!! I recently had to turn on captions on one of their videos as I was in a noisy environment and was laughing my ass off at the comments that pop up burning Jason. Positively surprised I now watch every video with CAPTIONS 😂
Great Job. Despite being only 18 minutes long, this video felt like an epic, high-caliber movie I'd go to a cinema for. It seems like the relative lack of engine sounds really let your sound engineers shine. Really really awesome work and thank you for making this great content [also digging the subtitles]
This video is what convinced me to test drive a Lucid in our search for a new car. I test drove nearly 10 cars and I took delivery of a Lucid Air Pure this past Saturday. So now I guess you can say that this video led me to buy a Lucid.
was watching this on my 4k monitor in full screen. once the video was over i exited the fullscreen player and forgot that i was on youtube and not netflix or amazon prime. everything about this video makes you feel connected, like you're there.
Jason, your ICONS reviews are iconic! Easily the most interesting, thought provoking and entertaining auto reviews I have seen. As Tina Turner would sing, “You’re simply the best!”

You guys have seriously found the most perfect production team and content creator (Jason) for this gig... Aboslutely love the video and its production value. Amazing. Videos like these are what provoke the feelings and what get people to want to buy a car.
The production level for a car review is astounding! Can't believe you guys just let us watch this for free. And with Jason Camisa completing the package, its just hard to ever think of somebody that could replace him.
I waste far too much time of my day watching TH-cam. But after discovering this channel, I am happy. I have never seen such beautiful videos created. Absolutely blown away at how enjoyable, visually and creative the videos are. Well done
Nice to see Thomas and James in the video. I love Throttle House!!!! :D I am super excited for what Lucid does next and really hope they take the fight to Tesla!!!
True. However I think they dont necessarily compare with each other. It's kinda like how the S class doesn't really compare with the model S. Ones more luxury and touring focused and the other ones just for daily driven performance. Still some great vehicles!
@@thedumbconspirator4956 I agree but also feel people are still going to draw those comparisons anyways. As a company though I really want Lucid to succeed. Tesla badly needs some close competition
@@Lichtywara1 absolutely. Tesla makes stellar cars. The Legacy auto isn't cutting it except maybe the taycan. Good to see fresh new faces. However the real test will begin on e orders and demand starts ramping.
I love the 21:9 aspect ratio, honestly finally a video editor who thought, hey people have ultra-wide screens and ultra-wide smartphone screens, let's make use of that!
Hands down the best video you’ve done yet. You should be super proud of this one! Thoroughly enjoyed that and I’ve not lusted after a new car in a long long time. What a time to be alive and be a car enthusiast.
The Air looks lovely, the video production is off the charts as usual, slides are epic and Jason is Jason, funny, informative and sliding about, The M5 still stole the show ;)
No, has nothing to do with automotive journalism.... anything with a simple Lucid Air commercial (and some US EV manufacturers promotion). Do you think the Tesla model S or the Lucid Air car is on the wish list of any car enthousiast, Jason, Thomas, James included?
American, English, and Canadian insights on all of the coolest stuff. Plus they all seem to work well together and play off each other's strengths as presenters and drivers.
Mind blown. That was fantastic! Beautifully written and shot (as usual). And the cameos from Thomas and James just added that extra delicious cherry on top. Words fail me. You guys just keep getting better and better.
This feels like it was taken out from an Ironman movie scene, I almost thought that the Lucid was driven by Tony Stark instead of Cammisa, and this is never a bad thing. Hagerty, you’ve outdone yourselves once again! Best automotive content on YT, period. Production, soundtrack and photography are off the scale! That cameo was hilarious by the way! 😆
Audis are normally associated with Iron Man movies, but then it leads no connection about driving demonstrations from a Marvel superhero movie. Batmobile reference is used on edgy looking cars as Batman usually drives fancy machines, Iron Man doesn't need to.

I wondered what was going on with what looked like Alex Chois lambo and the Lucid. I was over at the Horsethief track watching this being filmed haha

@@fakenorwegian4743 You are right the producer have a lot of headaches too crew just do a specified job.I just meant in general you gotta work in the field to truly appreciate the amount of work and time... In this day and age lot of great videos on TH-cam. Audiences are use to that but even smaller videos shot on a desk takes quiet bit of work and time some just take it for granted videos have to be at certain quality like everything has to be this good.
Okay, benchmarking E39 M5. What a bold statement from Lucid air… that instantaineously gained my thumbs up. I always wondered why electric car companies are tech junkies and not car junkies. Thank god we got this car
I read somewhere that a few of the Lucid engineers drive E39 M5s, I don't know if it's true or not but I like to believe it is.
Maan if they used the E39 M5 to benchmark their sedan, I definitely want them to build their own EV sports car or supercar.
On one of the Carmudgeon episodes a while ago, Jason did say that all Lucid employees need to own a classic RWD BMW.
@@MTKARusty Glad to know they have such great taste in car. Im 22 and drive E46 M3, just cant get enough of neo-classic M’s driving pleasure.
The quality of hagerty videos just cannot be applauded enough. Their videos are being seen by millions and still I would say they are underrated. Not to mention how much of great host Jason is.
I caught myself smiling throughout this entire video. And the special appearance from the TH guys was the cherry on top. Jason and Hagerty have outdone themselves, again.
Cammisa and this video crew cannot be touched right now. Unbelievable work.
This video is a Masterpiece!
The cinematic video editing... The Throttle House cameo... The thoughtful subtitles... Yep you've got a new subscriber!
Amazingly well done!!!!!
Yeah. Jason and team are putting out the best automotive content IMO.
ITS NOT A TESLA 2.0 ... THUMBS DOWN ON THE VIDEO
ALSO REPORTED FOR MISLEADING TITLE
And you would know! 😁
@@user-ct1lf3hf1v You must be a Tesla fanboy or a stockholder I imagine. 🤣
I’ve been on TH-cam for 13 years without leaving a comment. Watching this was like having the cinematic experience of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. Amazing work Anthony!
ICONS drops yet another masterpiece of a video. I can't thank Hagerty enough for giving Cammisa & Esposito a chance to bless us enthusiasts with content.
Rivian Icons video next?
This has to be THE BEST, automotive review and information video I have watched in a very long time. Well done team!
This is perfection. The script, cinematography, audio, pacing, editing, VFX... it is flawless. Congratulations to everyone involved, I can't believe this content is free.
This is production that deserves viewers and more.. keep doing what you do best Jason.. congrats to The Hagerty team and the whole production team
Great to see the Throttle House collab. Boys made it big, you deserve it!
Hagerty is putting out some of the best produced automotive content ever. Love watching Jason
This is how you advertise a car. The thrills that went through my body are unlike anything i've ever felt from an "advertisement." Great job with the intense music and extreme footage.
So...ummm..you got 200 grand lol?
Yeah, too bad I clicked to see a review. But got an 20 minute add instead lol.
This is I think the most stunning and artistically put together car reviews I've ever seen! Adam Sandler just raised the bar.
And to see my other 2 favorite Throttle House reviewers .. that was icing on the cake!!
Well done!!
Yeah, when I saw the Throttle House guys, I flipped out. Stunning video.
Thank you for uploading these in true 21:9! Looks stunning on Ultrawide displays!
Indeed!
Seconded, keep doing this guys! Amazing stuf 😃
That's why i don't have black bars on my Experia, I was wondering
thirded. it's super cash
What is the difference between true 21:9 and non-true 21:9 ?
I think part of what makes this video so good is that while primarily promoting the Lucid Air, you also give credit to the highlights of the other cars instead of mocking their flaws. Gives an impression of a more objective approach, which is great.
This video should have 60M views, not 600K. It's the best video on TH-cam and I'm not even a car guy.
I think it will. It'll just wat a bit for viral fame to gain traction.
I think this video will gain traction once market impact is stated.
true
we are still early
Maybe you are a car guy, you just do not know it yet. :)
The production quality of this review is phenomenal. Kudos to all in front and behind the cameras including post production personnel. You guys hit a grand slam with this one! Awesome collaboration/cameo with Throttle House too.
Wow. Just wow. Jason, you and your production team are the best in the biz. The quick drifting shots of the Lucid and Rivian together are epic cinematic magic.
this video is literally above perfection i tell you. i am so happy to see this video.
Wow. Every single episode of the ICONS is a step ahead and becomes my benchmark for the best car video I've ever seen. But this isn't just one-step further, this is a walk ahead. Incredible cinematography, story telling, and content. One can only aspire to achieve a fraction of this quality in their own content. Great job!
This has to be the BEST work you've ever done, Jason! Amazing camera work and editing. And the cameo from Thomas and James was a piece of brilliance! You all make a great trio! CONGRATS!!!
The whole Hagerty team is a cut above. Incredible video

Another masterpiece. Congratulations to Jason, Anthony, and the rest of the crew. Please @Hagerty, keep these coming.
Thomas, James and Jason is the best combination the automotive world could wish for.
Much love guys 🥰
Sweet crossover having Throttle House on there 🇨🇦
@Jason Cammisa I'm surprised one of them didn't go on about the air compressor lighter air conditioning weighter less.
@@PerplexedPhoton I wanted to see that snuck in so badly to get the reaction from James lol...
@@PerplexedPhoton Would have been amazing if Jason had the shirt on afterwards.
I used to install large motors and pumps in my electrician past life, I know how heavy they can be. Watching him casually walk around with that in his arms might be the biggest mind F of this video for me. Absolutely amazing.
That got my attention too, I knew it was compact but had no idea that it would be that light.
Pure engineering genius, Elon may struggle to top that, even with his carbon fibre wrapped Plaid whatever.
Wasn't that the drive and motor combo? I was thinking the same.
@@sufficetosay Yeh I'm sure it was the whole thing, though perhaps minus the WunderBox Inverter & BMS (which wouldn't weigh much in comparison).
It might've been a lighter demo mockup of the motor with all the same dimensions, made specifically for things like this.
@@waterdrinkingexpert6797 I was thinking that too.
I cant believe this is free! This is a frickin movie not a TH-cam video and I LOVE it! Now I want this car more than anything in the world.
WHAT!? When did car reviews become this insanely high quality!? This video is insane! Hollywood level! AAA!
Mind blown 🤯
Couldn't care less about Lucid Air, but i just had to watch the entire video.
Yeah, yeah, movie...but what about the car?
I couldn't agree more...I love what I am seeing
Me too
I'm watching it a second time just because the cinematography
When you get paid well to advertise this happens haha
You have obviously never watched a video from SavageGeese
This needs ten times the views it has, feels as if I'm watching Top Gear again, the track test is just pure bliss, the sound design, the imposition, the shot selection, all sublime. I keep going back 12:43 and watching from there over and over again, I'm less excited about the car and more excited about what I'll get to see from Jason and Anthony.
I disagree. This is just 20min commercial for Lucid
This is actually worth watching with the subtitles on - they're hilarious! Another amazingly done video, and the Throttle House guys made it that much better!
Can we all just appreciate the cinematography, the editing, the color palette the framing just everything and then the content
Jebus Christ Hagerty 🥵
Incredible production quality Jason, I'm hooked! Regarding Lucid what a out of the box phenomenal achievement. Is this the renaissance of American automotive manufacturing?
The 2010s were
It feels that way. If Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian all succeed in the long run this will be the most significant era in the American car industry in 100 years. Just need Cadillac to finally fulfill its potential, and Lincoln to keep up the mini renaissance it’s been going through, and we will have a spate of highly attractive higher end domestic options for the first time in my life.
@Jason Cammisa The red tailed hawks of this great nation scream with approval.
Unlimited budget for production just use every possible way to get people on board
WATCH WITH CAPTIONS!!!
I recently had to turn on captions on one of their videos as I was in a noisy environment and was laughing my ass off at the comments that pop up burning Jason. Positively surprised I now watch every video with CAPTIONS 😂
Same here 😂
10:50 is great!
So happy to see Watch Geek on here!
@@gai2473 😁👍
Alex Choi: "Yo these dirtbags unplugged three of my spark plugs!" (10:43)
Every time Jason Cammisa.
The writing, the cinematography, the cameos, the overall content.
Every damn time it is SO damn good.
production quality is on another level❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
This has to be one of the best car reviews in the history of car reviews.
Great Job. Despite being only 18 minutes long, this video felt like an epic, high-caliber movie I'd go to a cinema for. It seems like the relative lack of engine sounds really let your sound engineers shine. Really really awesome work and thank you for making this great content
[also digging the subtitles]
I was afraid that Jason had left Hagerty so I ended up watching all of his old videos at all other channels. Jason's personality is lucid gold 🔥
Did you just propose to Jason? 😍?
This video is what convinced me to test drive a Lucid in our search for a new car. I test drove nearly 10 cars and I took delivery of a Lucid Air Pure this past Saturday. So now I guess you can say that this video led me to buy a Lucid.
Man everyone on this show killing it. Incredible production
I thought I was watching an intro for a Hollywood film. Jason, Anthony and team keep besting themselves with each episode. Never Stop Producing!!!
Fr, the production quality is DOPE
This is possibly the best video production on any car review I've ever seen. Simply stunning.
was watching this on my 4k monitor in full screen. once the video was over i exited the fullscreen player and forgot that i was on youtube and not netflix or amazon prime. everything about this video makes you feel connected, like you're there.
Jason, your ICONS reviews are iconic! Easily the most interesting, thought provoking and entertaining auto reviews I have seen. As Tina Turner would sing, “You’re simply the best!”
First video I've ever watched from Hagerty. Subbed FAST!! Phenomenal editing!!! Been with Hagerty insurance, and road club for a long while!
Like Happy Kid said just watch everything specially Icons and Revelations. Those will be some well spent hours, trust us.
Me too... I saw his face and was like, "He has a channel"
SUBBED‼️
they even got kazel saleem in here the one who made some really radical unique cars
Go watch the Ct5-v Blackwing video asap!

Happy to see Jason doing these type of reviews again. Brings me back to the good ole days….
Me, too! Thx Hagerty, director Anthony Esposito, and Icons.
@@randypobstofficial wow the LEGEND himself! I never get enough of your content as well 👍✌️
You guys have seriously found the most perfect production team and content creator (Jason) for this gig... Aboslutely love the video and its production value. Amazing. Videos like these are what provoke the feelings and what get people to want to buy a car.
The production quality of these videos are just bonkers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for still uploading them on youtube!
The production level for a car review is astounding! Can't believe you guys just let us watch this for free. And with Jason Camisa completing the package, its just hard to ever think of somebody that could replace him.
The tire shred at 15.48 was, I've got to say epic !
I waste far too much time of my day watching TH-cam. But after discovering this channel, I am happy. I have never seen such beautiful videos created. Absolutely blown away at how enjoyable, visually and creative the videos are. Well done
Nice to see Thomas and James in the video. I love Throttle House!!!! :D I am super excited for what Lucid does next and really hope they take the fight to Tesla!!!
True. However I think they dont necessarily compare with each other. It's kinda like how the S class doesn't really compare with the model S. Ones more luxury and touring focused and the other ones just for daily driven performance. Still some great vehicles!
@@thedumbconspirator4956 I agree but also feel people are still going to draw those comparisons anyways. As a company though I really want Lucid to succeed. Tesla badly needs some close competition
@@Lichtywara1 absolutely. Tesla makes stellar cars. The Legacy auto isn't cutting it except maybe the taycan. Good to see fresh new faces. However the real test will begin on e orders and demand starts ramping.
I love the 21:9 aspect ratio, honestly finally a video editor who thought, hey people have ultra-wide screens and ultra-wide smartphone screens, let's make use of that!
thank you
Hands down the best video you’ve done yet. You should be super proud of this one! Thoroughly enjoyed that and I’ve not lusted after a new car in a long long time. What a time to be alive and be a car enthusiast.
The team behind these videos is so talented it leaves me with chills!
Literally got chills as I read this comment as I was just at the end.. what a awesome treat this was
The Air looks lovely, the video production is off the charts as usual, slides are epic and Jason is Jason, funny, informative and sliding about, The M5 still stole the show ;)
Hagerty is the Lucid Air of car reviews. My god what a mind boggling video. Take a bow Jason Cammisa.
Hands down, one of the best pieces of automotive journalism ! So fun that you got he guys from Throttle House on this one
No, has nothing to do with automotive journalism.... anything with a simple Lucid Air commercial (and some US EV manufacturers promotion).
Do you think the Tesla model S or the Lucid Air car is on the wish list of any car enthousiast, Jason, Thomas, James included?
This is cinema-level video quality. Well done. 👏👏👏
I can’t even take how intensely amazing the quality of this review is both visually and content. Just incredible
Can't help but imagine the three of you running a Top Gear like show. Make it happen!
Thought the same thing! Jason + Thomas and James would be a hell of a show.
The amount of bickering will have me rolling!
@@enigmaNSX Thomas, James & Jason with Randy as the “stig”
@@robertperillo8738 We need this.
American, English, and Canadian insights on all of the coolest stuff. Plus they all seem to work well together and play off each other's strengths as presenters and drivers.
My three favorite motoring journalists, all together in an episode. Just masterpiece!!
Camissa, James, and Thomas in one video… now you’ve got my attention. 😀 my favorite automotive journalists all in one!
Mind blown. That was fantastic! Beautifully written and shot (as usual). And the cameos from Thomas and James just added that extra delicious cherry on top. Words fail me. You guys just keep getting better and better.
These videos deserve so much more views. The production quality of this video is unrivaled. Not even Top Gear comes close to that. Great job
This feels like it was taken out from an Ironman movie scene, I almost thought that the Lucid was driven by Tony Stark instead of Cammisa, and this is never a bad thing.
Hagerty, you’ve outdone yourselves once again! Best automotive content on YT, period. Production, soundtrack and photography are off the scale!
That cameo was hilarious by the way! 😆
Audis are normally associated with Iron Man movies, but then it leads no connection about driving demonstrations from a Marvel superhero movie. Batmobile reference is used on edgy looking cars as Batman usually drives fancy machines, Iron Man doesn't need to.

Just like the lucid air did is its sector, you guys made an amazing work of art by this video. Congratulations!
So this is now the CCU… the Car Cinemtic Universe 😃 Love to see more of this cross-over appearances. The production quality is just next level 👍🏻
