I can tell you the problem. It's the color. If it was an exotic British racing green, or a lovely bright metallic color, other than silver, you might have got noticed. That dull metallic silver color just blends into the background.
Gee I still remember when the silver trend started. Silver started being the official color of any car. And white was also just for company cars and fridges. Now white is cool and sporty. But silver still that statement “I have no taste at all”
My first thought exactly. Most people know absolutely nothing about cars, and do not care. If you drive a brightly coloured car, that will get you way more attention than the car itself. Further, if you keep your car very clean, people will also notice and consider it a "nice car", even if they don't say anything.
nE CoBraaa exactly... if it was say "bright" red then yes or a loud bright blue etc... even if it had a sportier exhaust note... but silver Nar who'd really notice it.. also what time of day was the video shot as teens etc would also be in school/college
the skyline was also gray.. if you need to paint your car in an eye-catching color in order to be noticed than it means it's really nothing to be noticing
Nimeni Defapt the skyline has had a reputation & following since the early seventies.. the Aston Martin, has a luxury car stance, it's recognised in England & Europe etc but in America not so much, especially mid-afternoon/late morning etc with fewer ppl about. also as stated about yes a louder colour does make a car standout more no matter what it is
Nah, I drive a silver Opel GT Roadster. Even here in Luxembourg where people are very reserved/timid and you see a of Porsches, people come up to me all the time to ask about the car and tell me how beautiful it is and I got a very decent exhaust on it too. If your car is a rare sight and well designed, the color doesn't matter.
toto211111 it's America, unless it's an American car or a very expensive, fashionable car then no it wouldn't stand out. ya can't really compare an older classic'ish car to a fairly modern car overall if u want to be noticed then having a car that basically screams 'look at me' is what u want,,, I mean uve even said ur car is modified so compare that to a basic version... would ppl notice?? again it depends where ur at & the ppl around. I've also had ppl turn head, ask questions on past cars I've owned etc yes all modified again... it depends on the vehicle popular colours usually are the brighter colours, red, blue, white ... even black... a silver car, it doesn't jump out especially with a standard exhaust which at slow speeds is pretty quiet compared to say Ferrari, dodge, lambo etc so again having an aftermarket exhaust that gives the sweet note even at slower speeds would also get ppls heads turning
Silver sports cars just have a look of: “yeah I know I got it all together, don’t talk to me though” whereas the red invokes that raw exuberance that makes you wanna exclaim how much you like the car Plus I’m sure 95% of viewers figured it was just another Ford Fusion
There is NO color in existence that would be able to allow me to ignore a freaking Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Period. The thing is literally bite-the-back-of-your-hand gorgeous in every single way!
B23Samurai Prius drivers think they're "saving the world" so they sometimes brag about gas mileage. Yet making a Prius is worse than making & driving a H1 combined.
Im driving a 3.5L V6 in Europe. With gasoline being more than double the price than the USA. If i'd live in the USA. I would care SHIT about milage. V8 all the way. Here we can't do that. Everything is taxed based on C02.
TheRhinoGamer The GT-R was noticed more because it's a generally well known and iconic car and doesn't need a special paint job to get attention. For the Aston Martin, however, it won't get looks unless it has a bright color simply because it's not as well known
Koala Pears it’s true hahaha I Go to dougs local cars and coffee (rancho Santa Fe) and like 2 months ago he rolled up in his G Cab and I flipped out holy shit a G Cab then I saw doug driving it and flipped out even more hahaha
DIAMLER I was driving down pch and I saw him in Newport Beach in his e63 wagon last January, I was trippin out Cause he was right next to me at the light
Spencer Stagg ....then Aston should sue Ford in America for $100 Billion for blatant infringement, because if you and Stevie Wonder can spot it, then we all can.
You do know that Ford owned Aston Martin for years, and to this day, still owns a minor part of the company? Didn't think so. A subsidiary company suing their parent company is really going to happen...
I blame this on Ford shamelessly bastardising the grille for their run of the mill cars. I've been in this situation with my Carbon Black Vantage, one dude at one point even telling me "I didn't know Ford made 2-door convertible Fusions"
I know what you mean. The Fusion looks so much like the typical aston martin, just simplified, that people probably seen the overall look so much its just like anything else now.
Ultrakillerism I'm from Europe, so you just named half of Ford's offering of vehicles here given that the RS has the same body as the normal focus except for a few plastic bolt on parts, also it's a matter of taste, I for example hate how the SUV's like the Kuga look but love the "angry aston" looks of the Focus and the Fiesta.
It’s the color, the Ferrari had red, which made it have more contrast. The Ashton Martin was sliver, which made it blend in with the others and look normal. I would have surely noticed though😂
I wouldn't let anyone do that to my car... I mean I know that someone may want to look at it, but it's rude to just open other people's car as if it was yours.
EleMP EleMP It was fake. He was exaggerating what people do in reality for comedic effect. It's Doug Demuro. How would he know to have the camera guy standing there to capture those people. Exactly.....
(Not to worry.. My wife and I own 5 classic / exotics.. A stunning Maserati Bora, a mint '65 Plymouth Satellite hardtop, a rare '67 Plymouth Satellite convertible, a red Alfa Romeo GTV6 track racer, and a Aston DB9 in Chiltern Green.. and the DB9 gets more attention than all the others combined).
I know, I couldn't get over that shit lol.. The water bottle isn't what got me though, it was him going for the door handle without permission that shocked me, at least that's what it looked like, the clip was too short to know for sure.. But that would've set me the fuck off lol..
Perhaps there's more to the story? Maybe he already knew it was a press car? Still not an excuse though. I wouldn't be so presumptuous with ANY other person's car, no matter what it was.
My red FD Rx7 gets a lot of attention just like you did with the skyline but the comments I receive are very similar along with the ferrari. "is that the turbo version?"," what model Miata is that?" , "nice corvette", "how many cylinders"
he really exaggerates how much he likes cars that go unnoticed, and you can tell that by his clothes too. i doubt he just goes around expecting attention
I bet you'd get more attention if you affixed a banner that promoted both the unlimited mileage, bumper-to-bumper warranty and your Autotrader.com/oversteer.
European ford fiestas and fucus's have a very similar grill, Aston need to change their style, the Jag looks the same, is louder and half the price. This one being silver also does not help, no one notices silver, which is fantastic for those people who like subtleness.
That is the thing about the Aston. It is pure elegance that people who aren't car connoisseurs merely overlook just like the Audi R8. I've driven a R8 around before and no one flinched an eye. It is the exotic shapes like the Rari or Lambo that get noticed and as an introvert an Aston would be perfect for me. Can't wait until I get one one day. Just waiting for a better job and DEPRECIATION. I love under the radar cars. I feel good when I get to appreciate a car myself and enjoy it in solitude.
They looked exceptional the first couple hundred times I saw one. Then is like " is that an Aston or a Jag?" The style has run its course. It just looks like a sports car.
Krevin Grard I'm not saying it doesn't look good. It's just not an attention grabber anymore because everyone has seen it for so long. As the video clearly shows.
yea and thank god for it being nothing like an Aventador. This is exquisite and a car that has aged incredibly well. Few people notice it, but those who do appreciate it a lot more than all those drooling over a red lambo
I own an Aston Martin DB9 silver 2007 and I agree it doesn't garner that much attention unless you're really looking or stopped some where long enough for people to look up from their phones and see it. I am glad it doesn't grab that much attention because I bought the for car for myself since I have wanted a car like that since I was a kid. Getting attention from a car would be nice at first sure but for me personally the novelty would wear off after a while. It's a beautiful car but it doesn't need to scream it out loud that it's exotic to the public. That's what makes it a classy car in my eyes.
@@Official_Dee5iveTV I can't imagine there's a huge group of people that are into cars enough to know what a 458 is without being into them enough to know what one looks like. Someone not into cars isn't very likely to be able to name any Ferrari model, let alone one that's just numbers.
@@ApotheosisCM trust me there are people like that..... My dad thinks every lamborghini is an Aventador...... I do understand how someone can see a car for the first time and remember that name only, then when they see another car of the same brand the first thing that comes to mind is the car they first saw....... But it's our job to teach people and not ridicule them for making mistakes....... We all have to start somewhere
Funny thing is, I used to get compliments all of the time on my Celica... At least before this virus hit. People think it's some exotic car, but deep down I know it's not much different than a Camry!
Toby Prince I think they know it as James Boyd's Car but don't really know what it is or particularly looks like. And they also may have heard the name Aston Martin but don't know much about it
Live in Carmel, Indiana and saw a 2016 Aston martin Vanquish Volante with carbon fiber body black. Just awesome. Followed the owner to grocery store and stopped and talked with him and others were walking by and did not pay any notice to his car. Understandable, almost like Astons are unknown. Still looking forward someday to own one.
The last exotic sports car I gave a thumbs up to was a bright blue Porsche GT3 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The driver was super proud, I can tell. He deserves it man!!
I've only seen a few Astons in my whole life, so I'd definitely get pretty excited to see one. But most people wouldn't give a second look just because it's not a crazy, obnoxious, loud design like a Ferrari. It's stealth wealth.
Continental GT is a completely different car. It's nearly a tonne heavier just to start. It may have a higher top speed, but around a circuit it would get destroyed (the handling is imprecise and the brakes are awful). Aston Martins are also handmade, and the leather comes from Bridge of Weir.
One of my friends used to own a DB6 Vantage. He drove into a gas station one day. The gas station attendant asked "Is this a Ferrari?" No, it is an Aston Martin. "Oh, a Ferrari Aston Martin." We still laugh about this.
Tony Incredibly wrong. The Aston Martin is built on the aluminum VH chassis architecture, while the Fusion is built on the VD3 chassis, which is stamped steel. But fuck, you were close, right?
I think people don't really react to it in the same way is because Skylines and Ferrari's really stand out and are quite unique even at a glance. The Aston Martin is also unique and a very nice car, but at a quick glance someone may think it's just some stupid Mercedez or something lol.
That guy! putting the water bottle on top of your car and then full on just trying to open the door to your car (ferrari) irks me even in just those split seconds....
Far Reach Engineering I know, that dude seriously, I would have punched his fucking lights out. "Oiíi !! ..Get your freaking hands off my freaking Ferrari dude! ..Like, did I say you could just open the freaking door?"
If the car was bright red, British racing green or some kind of brilliant dark purple with black wheels. It would have been noticed. A Ferrari in red is of course much more of an eye catcher. Hell, take a 1st gen MR2 in red and people will think it's a Ferrari from the 80s.
In my city (Manchester, United Kingdom) a 2009 model Aston Martin is a sought after vehicle and has the kerb appeal compared to most cars in our country which are regular or another SUV
Doug, I work at a car wash and trust me I've developed an eye for these exotic cars, I can spot an Astin martin from a mile away. Headlights are the dead giveaway.
Krevin Grard I don't find it ugly, of course, but the 3/4 view is a bit too massive and the whole car looks a bit too 'choppy'. It's definitely a good looking car but I'm not crazy for it.
Wow I get more attention in my '07 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible, don't know why but at least once a week someone stops me at a gas station or the grocery store parking lot and asks me about my car. I find it hard to believe that you don't get attention but then again it might be the color. SIlver cars just don't bring a lot of attention to them. It's why they are one of the cheapest to insure and most plentiful on car lots.
Pat’s - ha ha! One time I rode up to Pat’s in a stretched limo. People looked at us like we had lobsters crawling out of our ears when myself and a squadron mate, having just landed a short while before, stepped out in our flight suits to go order.
actually this is quite interesting because the color plays an important part there because it is not quite interesting for the people color grey or silver especially in the city but if you coulve had that aston in a glossy light blue or a brownish red there will be a much diference story surely
Are you actually OK??? I haven't checked the video yet but I imagine that it is an R32 or R34.. In the Early 90's to Early 2000's the Skyline was literally the poster in any persons wall....
Want people to notice you. Change the exhaust, wrap it in a not so boring color, drop the suspension, add some dark wheels and puts some cool dark shades. Then maybe someone will notice you.
It’s the color also it has tasteful styling without wings,flares or crazy shaped windows or lights or dancing horses.A beautiful grand touring car for a real gentlemen to drive.

I have to agree with this. I had an '09 V8V in Jubilee Blue Metallic and it turned heads. Paint color is a huge draw.

yea and thank god for it being nothing like an Aventador. This is exquisite and a car that has aged incredibly well. Few people notice it, but those who do appreciate it a lot more than all those drooling over a red lambo
Taylor Maakestad it’s crazy to me too.
people dont kno wtf it is. its sad
It’s not that great
I own an Aston Martin DB9 silver 2007 and I agree it doesn't garner that much attention unless you're really looking or stopped some where long enough for people to look up from their phones and see it. I am glad it doesn't grab that much attention because I bought the for car for myself since I have wanted a car like that since I was a kid. Getting attention from a car would be nice at first sure but for me personally the novelty would wear off after a while. It's a beautiful car but it doesn't need to scream it out loud that it's exotic to the public. That's what makes it a classy car in my eyes.
Its because its not loud. Get better rims and a loud exhaust
Yeah, rimzzzz would do the trick.
get some nice chrome spinners!
***** Lmao so true
Homestar1998 Hahaha hahahahahahahahahah dude I just spit out my lunch laughing so hard 😂😂
It's because the car looks like a Mazda or a Toyota. It's a nice car, but not exotic looking at all.
0:46 did that guy rly just ask if it's a 458🤦🏽♂️
To answer your question... um, yess he did..
Not everyone is into cars as serious as most of us..... At least he asked instead of pretending he knows it all
@Swamuel indeed my dear friend, indeed
@@Official_Dee5iveTV I can't imagine there's a huge group of people that are into cars enough to know what a 458 is without being into them enough to know what one looks like. Someone not into cars isn't very likely to be able to name any Ferrari model, let alone one that's just numbers.
@@ApotheosisCM trust me there are people like that..... My dad thinks every lamborghini is an Aventador...... I do understand how someone can see a car for the first time and remember that name only, then when they see another car of the same brand the first thing that comes to mind is the car they first saw....... But it's our job to teach people and not ridicule them for making mistakes....... We all have to start somewhere
“Oh, I thought it was a Celica”
Funny thing is, I used to get compliments all of the time on my Celica... At least before this virus hit. People think it's some exotic car, but deep down I know it's not much different than a Camry!
@@InfectiousViper Still reliable though
Oh yeah, that kid DEFINITELY drove a Skyline in Japan. lol
skylines are common in japan lol
Keylin Visockis Yeah, that maybe true but he looks fucking 15 years old I doubt he drove one.
i doubt he ever been to japan
what makes you not believe him?
This is the internet. Skepticism fuels us.
Most non car people have never even heard of aston martin
David it's James bonds car, most people know what it is
sadly they don't...i asked a few coworkers and they know bond, bu not what car he drives or even what it looks like.
Toby Prince I think they know it as James Boyd's Car but don't really know what it is or particularly looks like. And they also may have heard the name Aston Martin but don't know much about it
To be honest I've met a Ton of non-car people not know what alpha Romeo is
Robert Martinez I only know James Bond
People react differently in the UK though 👍
People in America are more attracted to suvs
@@TheG60528XiJinPing says who? 🙄
Too right mate
@@TheG60528XiJinPing no. Trucks
@@anthonydenton6553 not gonna lie, as an America, I'd be more interested in a bright blue raptor than an Aston. Sorry guys
"Common man! Notice me!"
-Oh look! A Ford Fusion.
FUSION COUPE, BABY
Ford would sell that fusion if they made a 2 door Sport...
i didnt think you could possibly include autotrader in this video......but you did.
Sam he always does, by the way check out his column on autotrader.com/oversteer
Sam but hey, did you see his column on autotrader.com/overteer ?
Live in Carmel, Indiana and saw a 2016 Aston martin Vanquish Volante with carbon fiber body black. Just awesome. Followed the owner to grocery store and stopped and talked with him and others were walking by and did not pay any notice to his car. Understandable, almost like Astons are unknown. Still looking forward someday to own one.
That Aston is 10x better looking than the Ferrari
Wrong
Fax
Yeah true but not in grey
Whitenacho no it doesn’t...
I think im one of the only people on earth that doesn't think that era of astin martins looks good
Lexus ISF @ 1:00
When your Lexus has more power then a Ferrari.
Still slower though.
Toyota4Life that was a nice one the IS F with the cool exhaust tips
and a few thousand pounds heavier lmao
but slower than a 10 year old Ferrari.
Shobin Drogan like 18 years old actually
The last exotic sports car I gave a thumbs up to was a bright blue Porsche GT3 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The driver was super proud, I can tell. He deserves it man!!
These are the reactions you want! You dont get every single person bothering you about it. Only the people who know, know. Its ideal in my opinion.
Nice car! What year is this Maserati from?
Jaguar F-Type r coupe fan ohhhhhh.segun.jl.estamos.en.ese.año.ohhhhhhhhh.genial.:D
PCMasterRace you're joking right
PA & NJ sees tons of nice cars on the road - nice ride
Only people who like astons will really notice it, which is great because then you'll only meet enthusiasts instead of people comparing gas milage lol
the color doesn´ t help. The country either
the skyline is a super star
Pablo Rey guess what guys? In indonesia there's only less than 10 Vantage
0:44 the first question from the guy who owns the Prius is the fuel economy…
Do it again with an Aston Martin Vulcan ;)
Ian P Vulcan is not Street legal.
there is one which is street legal but only one. i dont know if it has a reverse gear tho
Shumbudi tuch mah spaget just push it XD
That’s a drag car
I've only seen a few Astons in my whole life, so I'd definitely get pretty excited to see one. But most people wouldn't give a second look just because it's not a crazy, obnoxious, loud design like a Ferrari. It's stealth wealth.
Continental GT is a completely different car. It's nearly a tonne heavier just to start. It may have a higher top speed, but around a circuit it would get destroyed (the handling is imprecise and the brakes are awful). Aston Martins are also handmade, and the leather comes from Bridge of Weir.
One of my friends used to own a DB6 Vantage. He drove into a gas station one day. The gas station attendant asked "Is this a Ferrari?" No, it is an Aston Martin. "Oh, a Ferrari Aston Martin." We still laugh about this.
@Kristof Alexy And my friend constantly regrets selling it. Now he can't afford buying another one.
Its such a sexy car, Even after 10 years it Looks up to date
Awesome a Ford Fusion coupe it's a shame they don't make these anymore
If someone walked up on my challenger and just put a water bottle on the roof and started opening my door, their face would meet the ground.
@Kristof Alexy Nah, hentai mate, summon them tentacles on em 😉
because its a 2 door ford fusion
haha
Tyler Jones nope it's not
Mark Wright it is built around the same frame. Ford and Aston Martin collaborate.
Tony Incredibly wrong. The Aston Martin is built on the aluminum VH chassis architecture, while the Fusion is built on the VD3 chassis, which is stamped steel.
But fuck, you were close, right?
Tyler Jones
I think people don't really react to it in the same way is because Skylines and Ferrari's really stand out and are quite unique even at a glance. The Aston Martin is also unique and a very nice car, but at a quick glance someone may think it's just some stupid Mercedez or something lol.
EBSting stupid Mercedes lol when Mercedes cls amg s class amg turn more heads lol
That guy! putting the water bottle on top of your car and then full on just trying to open the door to your car (ferrari) irks me even in just those split seconds....
Far Reach Engineering I know, that dude seriously, I would have punched his fucking lights out.
"Oiíi !! ..Get your freaking hands off my freaking Ferrari dude! ..Like, did I say you could just open the freaking door?"
To be honest it's probably because of the color.
SoCalSupercars true
If the car was bright red, British racing green or some kind of brilliant dark purple with black wheels. It would have been noticed. A Ferrari in red is of course much more of an eye catcher. Hell, take a 1st gen MR2 in red and people will think it's a Ferrari from the 80s.
Neo VeNoM hey my Miata is red and some people think it's a Ferrari
If only Doug had a place I could read more of his thoughts..
Urstin PB that would be pretty cool
THERE IS SUCH A PLACE!
Doug's new book: Doug: The maniacal ravings of a man who only owns 1 sock.
Yeah.... If only.... He should make one!
wtf was with that guy who put his water bottle on your hood and grabbed the door handle??
Edit: just watched the video, has to be staged lol
3:20 what every rich weird guy does after he buys an exotic
I was already a fan of Aston Martin, but I think I'm even more so now, I love the style, class, and performance, and I value my privacy, it's perfect.
"You know, I just took a road trip and averaged 47 miles to a gallon."
Guess what he drives. xD (1:04)
This world needs more car guys
Did you pay for fuel every time or did you just make them think you were stealing it
SamJPC I was filming with him...we only put in $7 a time
The guy at the counter must have thought you were real tight asses driving up in an Aston and only paying for $7 gas.
America wouldn't know what it is because it's a British car.
I would want a DB series Ashton Martin, or a vintage Alfa Romeo guiletta sprint.
Ashton Martin...
zep head
Yeah, the Kutcher GT.
They also wouldn't understand the meaning of "subtle" or "understated" ..... unless it's loud and in your face, it doesn't register.
Armani Nguon im pretty sure they no wat a rolls royce is
In my city (Manchester, United Kingdom) a 2009 model Aston Martin is a sought after vehicle and has the kerb appeal compared to most cars in our country which are regular or another SUV
I NEVER get reactions in my Peugeot 106 diesel.
Doug you should start writing some articles man, possibly on Autotrader?
Nah, I don't think anyone would read those.
Oh Furkan, you laugh riot!
Heck - I might even read them if they were publish on Autotrader.....
Doug DeMuro Oh my God...a reply from Doug himself! Is it sad that I am genuinely ecstatic about that?
Notice me senpai
Doug, I work at a car wash and trust me I've developed an eye for these exotic cars, I can spot an Astin martin from a mile away. Headlights are the dead giveaway.
I honestly don't fine the Aston that beautiful
Do you fine it for being ugly?
Phil Es 'find' errare humanum est :)
redsn0 I don't see the point to offend ppl for expressing their own opinions.
We should start fund to buy you glasses. lol
Krevin Grard I don't find it ugly, of course, but the 3/4 view is a bit too massive and the whole car looks a bit too 'choppy'.
It's definitely a good looking car but I'm not crazy for it.
So you're gonna do one of these videos in the Viper right?
Would be different if you filmed in the UK. They always get looked at and a ton of respect
Typical pretentious Prius driver bragging about his gas mileage 😂😂😂
Wow I get more attention in my '07 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible, don't know why but at least once a week someone stops me at a gas station or the grocery store parking lot and asks me about my car.
I find it hard to believe that you don't get attention but then again it might be the color. SIlver cars just don't bring a lot of attention to them. It's why they are one of the cheapest to insure and most plentiful on car lots.
ANOTHER SAAB ENTHUSIAST BESIDES ME EXISTS!
because saabs are rare :) each of my family member has one :)
I get waved and pointed at by people and I drive a '93 Opel haha, I feel bad for Doug. People don't seem to care about bumper to bumper warranty
Pat’s - ha ha! One time I rode up to Pat’s in a stretched limo. People looked at us like we had lobsters crawling out of our ears when myself and a squadron mate, having just landed a short while before, stepped out in our flight suits to go order.
It's a GRAY Aston Martin... Wrap it on red and you will get attention.
actually this is quite interesting because the color plays an important part there because it is not quite interesting for the people color grey or silver especially in the city but if you coulve had that aston in a glossy light blue or a brownish red there will be a much diference story surely
Man if you pass on front of me with this thing I'd take a thousand photos
Gutierrez Rodrigues dos Reis Lol seriously, the Aston he’s driving looks like and old worthless Porsche Cayman, and you’re impressed by that?
@@user-zm7de9fc9x shame on you
That hideous Nissan has to be a real babe magnet, see at 2:50
Aston M. What is a neeson lol
Nah bro you're just starving
Listen, I want a Skyline too, but that doesn't mean call it hideous. Only say that to the Prius.
Aston M. Any weird car will always get more attention...
Are you actually OK??? I haven't checked the video yet but I imagine that it is an R32 or R34.. In the Early 90's to Early 2000's the Skyline was literally the poster in any persons wall....
Want people to notice you. Change the exhaust, wrap it in a not so boring color, drop the suspension, add some dark wheels and puts some cool dark shades. Then maybe someone will notice you.
The Smell of Napalm in the Morning Usually doesn't matter to attention seekers lol
Yeah, but Doug sold this car like a week ago...lol
...Or you could just put a vinyl wrap on it.
Good way to look like a classless tool
+Nicholas Seamans That's what my car looks like.
a movie about bugs: a bug's life
a movie about doug and his cars: a doug's life
I can tell you that I turn my head on very Aston I see in London!
oh that's the Aston martin? I thought it was your old microphone! LOL sorry
Hahah. Well played, John Davis.
I love how dougs video quality hasn’t changed a bit in 3 years
this is like taking a mercedes out and seeing if people notice it. did you really expect any different?
Fire Squad if it would be an slr yes 😂
well that's a McLaren Mercedes
Xhuliano Murati even the slr is an older car not many people would think it was special until he opened the doors
2013 C63 AMG when you start revving the shit out of it.
2007 CLS looks pretty vicious though, and the 63 AMG variant sounds like a badass muscle car when just cruising.
wonder how much more backlog videos Doug has of this car since he's already sold it.
It’s the color also it has tasteful styling without wings,flares or crazy shaped windows or lights or dancing horses.A beautiful grand touring car for a real gentlemen to drive.
Maybe they're scared because they can hear doug shouting at them😂😂
