The quality the new Arby's processor produces is insane! Goose almost looks human in this one
I'd put all my bit coin on Arby's latest QPUs. Cat is out of the bag tech stock fans.
Better investment than AMD
I felt like I was becoming lost in Uncanny Valley.
*Almost.
Mmmm... I'm thinkin' Arby's...
This is the most cursed car review I’ve ever seen, its true art. Even the camera photography was made robotic and synthesized. Y’all are masters at making the most fun out of not so fun car products. Its wild to think that this might be a new favorite from y’all along with legends reviews 😂

Was your review also written by AiGPX like the video was ? Lol 😅
I’ve never seen a car review video that was also a Sci Fi horror film. Love Mark’s character arc into full assimilation.
Alien right
That gauge cluster is an absolute mystery as to HOW that got past anyone in the development stage.
Because it is cool and gimmicky
They tend to be smaller chaps over there 🙈
Ask Peugeot that question. They started that trend.
Same with your spelling 😂
Well, the whole car is a mystery since it isn't competitive for the segment it's competing in.
If the Pontiac Aztek and a Soviet-era mobile ICBM transporter had a baby.
lmaooooooo
I absolutely loved SavageGeese's latest TH-cam video where he used AI to review the Toyota bZ4X! It was not only informative but also entertaining, making it a joy to watch from start to finish.
SavageGeese's mastery of AI technology was truly impressive, as he used it to provide an in-depth analysis of the bZ4X's features and capabilities. The way he presented the information was also quite engaging, making it easy to follow along and understand even the most technical aspects of the car.
One of the things I appreciate about SavageGeese's reviews is that he always goes beyond the surface-level features of the vehicle, diving deep into the engineering and design aspects of the car. His insights into the bZ4X's battery technology and regenerative braking system, for example, were fascinating and informative.
Overall, I highly recommend SavageGeese's latest video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Toyota bZ4X. It's an excellent review that provides a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most innovative electric vehicles on the market today. Great job, SavageGeese!
Your GPT post has been flagged for lack of heart.
@@savagegeese But think of the engagement numbers and algorithm boosting!
Genius comment.
🤣🤣🤣👍👍 Great!
@@savagegeese No problem. You can add heart as a parameter.
It can do so much for you: ❤❤❤ , of course also 💚and💜, and as a premium feature for subscribers you have a 🖤, too.
That felt so weird looking at Ai mark. Made me uncomfortable, but for some reason i wanted more. With the range drop you experienced while turning on hvac, I cannot see myself driving this in Canada.
I couldn't make it to the end of this review. I had to run out immediately and purchase one of these vehicles. I am in the Arby's drive thru waiting on my daily roast beef and jamocha shake fix. Thank you Savage Geese for this incredible human-like review.
I saw one on the road and I was shocked: it’s wheels didn’t fall off. But the driver still looked sad.
Why would its wheels fall off? I'm really sick of this silly comment. The recall was from June to October of last year when it was fixed and it didn't happen to any customer. At the same time, wheels did break off of Tesla's customers' cars yet we don't have to read about wheels falling off of Tesla reviews all the time.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Teslas suck.
The front fell off
Still sad. Hahaha
@Benjamin Smith - because Toyota and Subaru dealers were telling people to not bother with the car because they couldn’t even sell them till they had parts to fix the wheel issue…well at least in October when I bought a WRX. That Subaru dealer had 3 Solterras on the lot and he was unhappy to even have them. Couldn’t let anyone test drive, couldn’t deliver them, didn’t want to sell them…
Bought one of these for my wife’s boyfriend and he loves the range on it. Thanks savagegeese!
Epic
He's old enough to drive?
You nailed this review. Toyota is capable of so much more, just look at the passion in the GR Corolla. It's fair to feel this way about the BZ4X.
Being "capable of so much more" is why the Top Gear guys hated the Lexus SC 430 so much, too.
Your comment makes no sense because this isn't a Lexus, its the base model electric vehicle offering from Toyota. It is exactly what it is made for. The market that buys this is looking for exactly this, and the market that buys a GR Corolla is incredibly smaller, an almost anti-intellectual comparison to make.
They are capable for so much more but that isn't the consumer they are targeting. This is targeted towards the middle class person living in the city who wants to own an affordable EV. If you want the extra bells and whistles, you'll need to look outside of Toyota or wait for a Lexus EV to come out.
At $40k, its competitors include Hyundai and Kia, who have a pair of smash hits in the Ioniq 5 and EV 6. This Toyota looks phoned-in, like when GM got complacent and lazy.
@@LJ-wo1wf Comparing Hyundai and Kia to Toyota is like comparing Walmart's clothing selection to a designer store. Completely non-sensical to consider those car manufacturers as ever being competition to Toyota.
This has to be the funniest and greatest SavageGeese video to date. I legitimately threw my head back in laughter multiple times
Don’t know how these guys only have 600k subscribers. The quality, humor, and analysis are fantastic. They should top all car video reviews.
A.I. Mark really makes me feel like im enjoying a good lunch from Arby's
Mark pulls off a F*king good robot. This was beyond pure entertainment.
the toyota bz4x is the car ever. it sometimes has 4 wheels, works, and can bring you from point a-b. it has features, adjacent door handles for passengers- who can sit in the car also. you can opt for gray if you're tired of black and white and want to switch things up as well
Jack reaction about the 60 miles drop was on point😄 This is exactly why I bought an Outlander PHEV. For the first month ownership I've average 47 mpg. For an awd suv that I don't have range anxiety or get warm in our Canadian winter it's a win for me. No cvt either👌
The “drop” is pretty much normal. The computer just literally calculates the power consumption *at that moment*, i.e. when you just started the heater and thus the heater will be in full power. Once the cabin is heated enough (which should only takes couples of minutes) the heater will slow down and the range calculation/power consumption will return to normal.
@@jwalker7567 Nowhere in my comment I’ve said to drive without the heater on.
@@jwalker7567 greetings from Canada, I also have to deal with condensation when driving in winter. I'll run the air conditioning in winter to help remove the condensation, it does work. Give it a try see if it works for you, cheers.
I laughed harder than I should 😂 Brilliant! A masterpiece! 🤣🙈
The review that is. Not the car.
I'm willing to give most things a chance but I've sat in one of these twins. The orientation of the wheel and the instrument cluster was a no go. I was surprised they'd release it like that. they fixed it for the Prius so the feedback clearly reached them.
Wow, SavageGeese, your latest video was a fantastic blend of informative analysis and entertaining commentary. I really appreciated the depth of your research and attention to detail, and your delivery kept me engaged from start to finish. Keep up the great work!
Travelling in a freezing cold vehicle in order to eke out sufficient range - it's like Apollo 13, but with a "Main B-Bus Undervolt" condition that's there by design...
😂
"Designed from the ground up" is code for "we copied this shit from the other guys in the office"
Miata was designed from the sky down. #skyActiv.
Designed from a ground up RAV4.
This has to be the absolute best savage geese video ever!
Electric shock therapy isn't a bug.. It's a feature 😂
Haha, love that FX on Su..subaru... and Arbys QPU.
Thanks ChatGPT Mark!
Please, please, let me out of the Matrix! Then again, that Arby’s GPU though…
Brilliant stuff.
I’ve never felt quite as “molested by the corporate” than right now. Thank you, SG, for making me much more aware of how I may not even exist.
At the 5:04 mark I got an ad for Dyson vacuums and totally lost it. 🤣
Front end design still looks like it was inspired by an opened milk carton.
Good analogy, and I remember that from other Toyotas.
There was also a regional model of a Prius or such that I perceived as "granny's tenth facelift".
The range dropping from the HVAC is hilarious. EV is gonna have to get good with managing range and not dropping like a rock to not freeze or cook depending on the season
There's something hilariously wrong with this vehicle. I have an electric VW e-Up, it has a resistive heater not a fancy heatpump, and you lose maybe 10-20 miles of range off the total when you turn the heating on. I have no idea what toyota is doing.
This is a Toyota-specific issue, pretty much, and I don't understand it. My 2020 Chevy Bolt uses resistive heat and I don't lose anywhere NEAR that kind of range when I turn on the heat. My Tesla Model Y uses a heat pump and the range drop is basically unnoticeable. Almost every mainstream EV, including the venerable Nissan Leaf, is better at heating the cabin without tanking range to the level they were seeing.
This is not at all the case for literally any other EV, Toyota is very behind
The BZ has a heated steering wheel, heated seats and radiant heaters on top of the HVAC. I have also found the range to be calculated when one turns on the HVAC, a percentage. For example, if it says it has 30 miles left w/o HVAC on, once on, it goes to 24 miles.
@@dogslol1928 it doesn't
There really needs to to be a SavageGeese Hall of Fame channel.
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest ever.
Thanks for disrupting the matrix.
You can make a playlist, if you're so inclined. :)
Unless the situation is so bad that the Matrix takes this completely serious.
We live in a world where it is hard to figure out whether you're talking to a glitchy AI or a glitchy human, where when you perceive robotic behavior, it is equally likely to be either one.
The brilliance and creativity of the monologues/dialogues, amazing production quality, and insightful remarks make this the perfect car channel on the whole internets.
Definitely one of the cars of 2023.
Of call the cars, this is a car!
I got PTSD when the video glitched during the AI transition. Thought my PC was BSOD. I love these videos 😂
Just about spit out my coffee... that switchover was hilarious. Your production is always amazing but this takes it a notch higher
Do yourself a huge favor and go pick up a lightly used Chevy Bolt EV for under $20k. I have one of the first generation (2017) and it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. All I've ever done to it is replace the cabin air filter once a year, and the tires after 5 years. Oh, and once a year I replace the wipers. It has heated front and rear leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a nice stereo. Also, it has more headroom and legroom than my King Ranch Ford F350 pickup. This car has saved me about $19k in gas so it has basically paid for itself in six years. Even after that much time, the range is still well over 200 miles which is plenty for us to drive anywhere we want.
Toyota is discounting BZ4X to $20K in China and still can't sell them.
To be fair, the recently reheated historical China-Japan relationship could be a significant factor, too. Also considering Japan is kinda like maxi-Taiwan in the world-political situation - allegedly unsinkable US aircraft carrier on the coast.
Having driven an EV, heating the interior doesn't actually hit the battery that hard. In the moment, it's calculating its output and concluding that you only have x range left, but it doesn't account for the fact that once the interior is warmed up, it doesn't have to work nearly as hard.
So my 2017 Chevy Bolt used to cruise at highway speeds at 10-15 kwh (it's been a while, so this probably isn't exact, but it's demonstrative). When I turned the heater on, that went up to 25-30 kwh.
But it only did that for like 5-10 minutes, after which it returned to its maintenance levels. It definitely burned more battery in that time, but I only ever really lost a few miles of range. Basically, the cold battery itself caused WAY more efficiency loss than running the heater.
At least that was my experience in a climate that never really got below freezing. I guess YMMV up north (literally!).
Several times I have also read recommendations people use remote "start" to preheat the cabin etc while the ev is still theoretically plugged in at home. Still, all EVs are going to take this hit. Perhaps Toyota needs to make their range calculator a bit less sensitive. Good candidate for one of those OTA updates.
I forget where I read it, but heated seats might be better in a "perceived comfort per wattage" way than blowing warm air. I don't have an EV myself but maybe I could at least compare how nice I feel with just heated seats versus just warm HVAC air.
Fair point, although what this still reveals to us is the shocking revelation that that electric car doesn't have a SmArT or InTeLiGaNt range calculation algoreithm. 😱
And the Bolt uses a resistive heater that heats a coolant that then heats the cabin. Probably the most inelegant, inefficient design there is. So a heat pump would almost definitely be an improvement.
@@Dowlphin funny enough, my bolt didn't have that problem. It averaged your usage over the past x miles, so it was generally pretty close.
What would happen is that if you drove differently or in different conditions, you'd burn 2 miles of range for every mile you drove.
Hard to say which is better. I think you just get used to whatever your car uses.
I was able to drive the Subaru version of this car. This is definitely a first gen thing. Nobody should buy one for another couple years until they figure it out.
I drove a Solterra as well. I liked it a lot, but agree with waiting for a second gen. Also if Chevy comes through with a 30k Equinox, that will sell more and qualify for the US tax benefits
I'm surprised Toyota just doesn't buy Lucid, or another company that's already got it figured.
That’s what I been saying since these cars were launched.
No one should buy an EV all together.
None of them should be bought until all specs match the gas counterpart for the same price. Not willing to compromise or inconvenience when going EV.
BZ4X sounds like what Elon would name his second child
He has 10 children as of March 2023
I Googled Soltera in Spanish="maiden
virginal, soltera, inaugural, primero"
I love the name ....... too "bee zee for ex" 😂😂😂
Toyota does not want consumers to want EVs, and they made one accordingly. The Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq/EV6 are everything that this car is not, and they are cars enthusiasts like myself want to own and drive. Thanks for the honest review.
i don't know how to construct a sentence containing the words "EV" and "enthusiasm"
My thoughts exactly. Its a bit of an oxy moron.
Car enthusiasts are not enthused with those examples that you mentioned.
@@andrewgarcia3136 The model Y is more thrilling to drive than SUVs that cost twice as much.
@@hecticphusion in a straight line maybe....
This is why I love your reviews, you guys actually call out the garbage aspects of cars. Some reviewers just paint a pretty picture and that's it. You guys keep it real.
Thank you, Jarkbot, for your cromulent engineering assessment 🙏.
Another solid video, guys...I have to agree with Jack's assessment here, that Akio Toyoda had to feel incredibly "meh" about having to produce this product. It does come across as a compliance product - look at how fantastic people say the Mirai is (the vehicle itself, ignoring the infrastructure issues), and that's just an engineering development exercise.
I wonder if the platform will still work as well once they embiggen and debigulate it
You guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Outstanding content.
This is my favorite Savagegeese review. You could really feel the heart they put into the shop segment
09:01 Jack's right about building more PHEVs and Hybrids for regular commuters.
One could build 4 PHEVs or many more hybrids with the battery an EV requires.
Our commuter is a PHEV and all of our commute is EV. We don't have to worry about public charging on long drives.
PHEV makes so much more sense. It also doesn't assume everyone can plug in at home! Many, many people do not have a wall outlet next to their parking space / street spot / apartment carport.
You don't have to worry about re-charing but you do have to worry about lugging a battery around with a fossil fuel powered engine. PHEVs are far worse in practice because many people do not plug them in. Then there is the cost of the battery and the additional complexity. At some stage somebody will realise the most efficient and truly sustainable solution is a simple NA gas engine. Probably with no more than 2 valves per cylinder and push rods..🙂
@@jamescaley9942 sorry James, I have to disagree with you on that one. In my personal experience, our gasoline consumption was cut by three quarters. When it comes to power efficiencies, nothing beats electric. We only "lug" an empty battery on long trips and still achieve upwards of 40 mpg.
The same way a 100% gas car makes no sense, a 50% gas car makes no sense. To drill, transport, refine, transport, pump that gas in your PHEV has used more energy than it takes to power a pure EV. The entire idea is dumb.
@@gnoxycat I'm excited about the EV future too but I choose to put my points across without any emotion. Sorry my comment riled you up. I suggest you reread my comment. I literally said we cut out 75% of our gas usage. The only time we use gas is when we drive more than 60 miles at a time which is once a month. For our situation a phev is perfect. Sorry we don't fit your idealized version of a family that can use EVs exclusively. Since you brought intelligence into question, might I remind you that ignorance is far more acceptable than assumption of total knowledge. Have a good day sir.
Fantastic video! Really appreciate what y'all done here. 👌
The BZ4X: high-tech and emotional, just like Mark-E.
Sophisticated e-motion generates low-sodium tears.
Quantum Mark is what the auto industry needs. He tells it like it is. No BS
Chatgpt sounds like every marketing department I've ever dealt with. Maybe our CEO should be considering downsizing the marketing team!😂
I like this new you. Its so refreshing. Great job!
CH-R build team: How can we take the successful Matrix, make it use more gas, have less interior and cargo space, look more like an SUV but remove the AWD and manual transmission options?
The only positive thing I can find to say about it is that it had an optional teal that brought back nice early 90s memories of Accords and Civics.
The worst part is every other market in the world got the best options for it - Japan and Europe had a 1.2 turbo or 1.8 hybrid, Europe got the manual - both got nicer amenities. We got stuck with the most underpowered, stripped out version. It was the same story with the Honda HR-V coming from JP/Euro Honda Vezel.
Hilarious...still lifting myself off the floor rolling in laughter. ChatGPT marketing vs good honest Journalism "loose 60 miles of range just turning on the heat" win's all the time 👍 Well done guys
Adds another angle to "feelin' the heat".
LOVE LOVE LOVE the callback to Ridley Scott's 'Alien' with the 'green screen' and same sound effects.. As well as the inherent meaning of 'Mother' being a form of future AI.. Well played sir!
Great video! A Trabant with zero gasoline consumption.
Would have been a much better car if it were revived with the Matrix nameplate, given a ~275 mile range, some decent styling and creative interior configurability, priced at $35K. That's how you move the needle on getting EV's to gain traction with mainstream buyers. Or better yet, design it as a dedicated Plug-In Hybrid.
No one will care about this product in 1-2 years time, I guarantee it. Nonetheless, an amazing and hilarious/disturbing review once again from SG!
It's amazing to me how you guys were able to make a video about a car. So underwhelming so entertaining. And somehow creepy lol. Well with that being said You guys are my go-to for any car review, especially if I'm really interested in the car
I wasn't sure about this car until I got to the @2:22 mark. You've really sold me! I'm heading down to the Toyota Dealership tomorrow to place an order!
Brilliant! That's all I got. Will stick to my STI and 17mpg :)
Toyota saw the Ford Lightning's range drop and took it personally.
Easily the most copious and capable review of the year…..awesome stuff.
"My boyfriend called me a pig..."! Well, that last line was the icing on the cake, a terrific video that nails the problems that Toyota have with moving to an EV future. As a very satisfied Toyota customer for the last 17 years (currently have a RAV4 Hybrid) it really is very sad to see them just not trying to develop a good EV car(s). Maybe the new CEO can do a 180 and get them going in the right direction. I really hope so.
Having a good EV in your lineup is like having an athlete who's still in a wheelchair
Probably when he learned that she had kept a secret from him ... that she's just an AI.
Akio stepped down as CEO but remains chairman. The new CEO seems more open to EVs. I actually side with Akio though. Smaller batteries work better for most daily commuting, and they can build a lot more RAV4/Prius Primes than BZ4Xs. Infrastructure and tech isn’t quite there yet.
seems like the new guy likes hydrogen a bit too much too. it will be their lost decade.
@@TeslaRoadtrips Yeah, every child knows that helium is where the real fun is.
To me the biggest issue is the slow charging speed of 100 kW on the AWD model. This product is DOA.
Love the truth this video brings. Worried the blowback could really hurt this channel. Good luck fellas.
Will depend on who at Toyota has what intention, who calls the shots, and how much they only care about bottom line, regardless of who pushed this car there.
The Alex on autos crossover none of us have been waiting for 🤖
Why is there no Toyota Beepboop yet? (They could pretend it's a bebop reference, i.e. hip.)
Great video,,, as always.
I love this channel! I’m surprised a few people in my area are still buying this car. Maybe they got some good lease deals. I do like that it’s made in Japan. But you can tell Toyota didn’t want to make this car. I would definitely buy a RAV4 Prime over this.
You are the only ones who have reviewed this car to point out the obvious, that Toyota did not want to make this car and made it only because it felt it had to.
That said, and I've said this on other reviews, this and its Lexus twin are not being pointed at the broad market but are being offered primarily as something to keep the members of their very brand-loyal customer base who want BEVs in the fold. They aren't making very many of them and will have no problem selling the volume they're planning to ship.
This is all, of course, very cynical, but no more so than the decisions made by many businesses.
Basically, just buy a Hyundai or Tesla.
After your review, as a human, I am now convinced that the Toyota bZ4X is the best car in the world!
great job guys! - so much fun!
7:20 lmao, the unintentional comedic pause and then the random laughing instead of an answer got me
Yes, Toyota sort of dropped the ball on the BZ4X. It doesnt look THAT bad. Maybe all one color would be better. I was one who was on the waiting list for one. A Rav4 XSE hybrid tech/winter/pano roof packages, came available and my salesman called me. I couldnt be happier with my Rav4, and glad at the right moment/time in 2022, and I snatched it up quick. I was waiting 4 months for it to be built. With people in a waiting time frame for a Rav4 model “you want” if you can, for me it was worth the wait.
I sat in the Solterra at the Chicago Autoshow. It was probably Subarus second worst car next to the Ascent. It just felt, off. The seating position felt weird and slightly claustrophobic, the dah was too high and too low at the same time and you feel like you ride really high in the thing. I see why Toyota wants to dump the thing already.
I just looked in Google for the Spanish meaning of Soltera=maiden
virginal, soltera, inaugural, primero.
One of the best ground breaking independent car review channel on TH-cam! This one was hilarious!!
Thanks for the great review MarkGPT-4!
You mentioned it being a compliance vehicle to make board members happy, I think as the push for all electric compliance, vehicle manufactures are feeling the pressure from their governments. This vehicle is a prime example what’s going to come out as the pressure to have all EV line up by 20xx.
“If you got this for free, you wouldn’t feel like you wasted your money.” Not a ringing endorsment.
Fantastic video. Loved the editing and the arby's processor lolol. muchos buenos. I do wonder about your mention of the Tesla model 3. Are they still pretty much dumped in price at the moment for the various reasons? Not that cars are investments, but man talk about throwing your money away in terms of driving off the lot value. Assuming tesla values are still tanked. Thats a whole 'nother thing but still a thought. Curious what people think :)
i bought my model 3 performance at peak. After price cut and then tax rebate (which didn't qualify for before) I'd say I probably lost about 1/3 value in 4 months. Not great, especially if your auto insurance pays market rate and you get totaled. That being said, the dealer experience was very good, no haggling, set price. Everything is done online. Let's be honest, you never know if you're getting screwed at a dealer (unless you're paying over sticker) because you don't know the dealer cost, only MSRP. It's a very good car as long as you don't give a crap about 'initial build quality'
@@TeslaRoadtrips nice. Thanks for your response! I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Great video Ai Mark, seriously, thank you for making me laugh this much on a Monday morning.
This was perfectly executed video thank you
Well in few years time they will get better at it.. They have to.
Don't count on it. Akio Toyoda is still Toyota's president, still thinks EVs are a fad, and still thinks the future is hydrogen.
@@littlestinker9716 good point
@@littlestinker9716 Just an update. Akio has already step down just a month ago and was replaced by Koji Sato who is planning to reform Toyota entire ev development.
Maybe....I think in the US the leading EV brands in future will be US, Korean and chinese. They have so much ground to cover.
Wow, I've always wanted to be able to vacuum my dash! Are there different dash carpet options? I think a flannel pattern would really pop!
Maybe you can get piano black gloss microfiber velours.
Whoever started the fabric covered dash trend deserves a kick in the balls.
OMG, you made my day, thanks guys !
thanks for the honest review guys. I feel like some other channels ('cough' TFL) gave this too much credit. But agreed it sucks, and if this is the future of EVs then I am truly sad for my children...
@@ThrowAway-md9zx TFL lost all credibility when they shipped their Ford Lightning to Alaska on a boat
the japanese auto makers are so far behind on EVs, that when your kids are driving they probably won't even be around. it'll be tesla (maybe other US makes) korean and chinese brands. Japanese will need 10 years to catch up mechanically and will never catch up in software.
mr. B58s voice suits AI Mark perfectly
We have had two software updates this summer in the Netherlands, range now, 450km, far better recharging and 4x fast charging in 24h instead of 2x. Charging now above 100kw.
In recent test by leading carmagazine, the bz4x outperformed the Q4 etron as well as VW'S Id4.....
Ending was good 😂 keep those up in future videos
Every EV review should be written by the worst complicated if/then "logic" function possible because that is all EV's deserve. Brilliant video. Genius even.
Amazing! I'm sorry for those that are new here and didn't understand what you did in this video.
This really is a refreshing take on BZ4X. Indonesian content creators all uniformly praise how advance this car is 😂
Looks like you had fun making this one! Coming from owning several Lexus', I was waiting on the RZ450, but still decided to put a deposit on a GV60 while waiting. Got the GV last month, and although Genesis is a long way from being Lexus, and seeing what they did with this product in its Lexus form, I'm glad I took delivery of the GV60. Will not be looking back until Toyota/Lexus offers a product worthy of the name. Shame on them for putting this on the market!
With genesis I don’t think Lexus will even exist anymore. Genesis is the new Lexus
@@naveenthemachine Oh I can tell you that so far, their service is totally crap. They need to up their game if they want to compete in the luxury market. The cars are great, but their service is almost sub-Hyundai!
@@jprusso224 I’d rather give up the dealer experience to get a better car. Genesis shows it’s about the car. Not the brand. Lexus has the brand but their cars are beyond mediocre
You took an embarrassing, trash EV and managed to make a video entertaining enough to watched until the end. With the ending being the best part. Bravo good sirs.
Offsetting sound was brilliant!
Stopped by local dealer to check out the Crown, they said they were sold out for the next several months but I should check out the BZs they have available and on the lot now!
I walked up, opened the door, shut it and left. It was like someone told me to check out their new fancy washing machine, but less interesting.
(I don’t want a crown either I just like checking out new cars)
Totally agree on what they said about Toyota just not doing this thing at all. It's far better to do nothing than to put out crap that only drags down their brand name. Heck, Toyota already said they wouldn't be embracing 100% electric technology anyway. They'd rather focus on hybrid, hydrogen and other alternative energy methods, so just do THAT, Toyota...
these guys are the only American reviewers I like and find easy to listen to, the rest are over excited psychos. I normally choose British reviewers, but Jack and Mark are indeed very good, really good analysis.
The keyword British reminded me of - no, definitely not Top Gear - but TotalBiscuit / Cynical Brit, a video game reviewer who had the vibe matching the latter name and also did his reviews like the professional industry consultant he was. I found that credible, trustworthy, thus worth my time, thus in its own way entertaining.
I love that the brochure comes with an audiobook read by none other than Mark. Very good!
i'm happy i got one of the last rav 4s that still has physical buttons to control the touch screen. Saw the 2023 rav4 at the auto show and its lack of them and was immediately disappointed and how more and more controls are being touch and embedded in the touch screen.
However, My family and I are in the same boat as many people here who, will still buy gas/hybrid, but is interested to see how these EVs develop over the next few years. I feel like whats actually going to make them start to sell like other vehicles is when they can do 400 miles at a minimum.
You guys absolutely f*ing rock! Toyota is tending to doom, most of the products are s*it right now, but the youtubers out there are gushing over this trash. Thanks for making GREAT content, always GREAT. Thanks!
I’m not. I’m saying how atrocious most of the latest Toyotas are. Yet people are laughing at me 😂
Rip Toyota in a few years. They had a run albeit not as good of a run as Hyundai Kia are
The proof is in the sales. Toyota is the top selling make on the planet. Until they are not, there's no reason for them to change anything. It's one thing for youtubers to gush over the products, but they must not be that bad if people keep buying them.
@@gs98999 there are exceptions. But most of them are just horrid products. The fact that people buy these models makes me feel sorry for their absolute gullibility
@@gs98999People buy Chrysler so. It doesn't take much for people to buy garbage.
