This is going to be an interesting watch. the fuel crisis made way for some of the best cars ever made in the late 80's, 90's and even early 2000's. Now america is going back to the roots of big, heavy, spacious BOATS and I'm willing to bet history is going to repeat itself.
Thanks brother, I really think you guys are going to like it. I present an opinion based on some facts/deductive reasoning on why we are in this situation. Also, I think you are totally right in your train of thought...we think alike. 🫡 -Brandon
Totally agree, I would love that. Make them the real versions too, not this wild stuff they make now. While its cool and I like them, they all just look the same. -Brandon
Haha you saw that too? Yeah these companies are something else lol. Normally I wouldn't be so hard on them but they are basically ripping people off and taking tax money every year. Nahhhh you do that and its free game now lol. -Brandon
@A-BombEnergy At some point, people will have to take measures in their own hands to stop this bs. And I am not talking about violence, but simply not buying any of their products for an extended period of time, and they will be forced to shift towards what the consumer wants. People always complain about the Toyota Tacoma having rear drum brakes. Well, if you stopped buying the Tacoma, manufacturers would be forced to change things in order to satisfy the customer, but if you keep buying it, then why would they change anything?
Really good content from this channel so far! I think gen-z will see trucks and SUVs as uncool and drive up sedan interest in the years ahead. And I’m all for it
Hey brother thank you for the kind words. I too think Gen-Z will prop the sedans back up. You will see in the full film why too actually. But basically, people don't want to drive the car their parents drove is the gist of that specific topic. It actually makes no sense on why Sedans are leaving too, I think there is so much more to it than we realize...which I hope to get everyone's opinions on with the full film. We shall see. -Brandon
Waiting until gen z becomes the main target of the market may take decades with current wages and job market, however one way to erradicate these nefarious things is by ramping up demand for cars like the nissan versa while they still exist which, yeah its outdated and stuff, but its way under 20k (cheapest car in america apparently), manual, has a reliable engine AND ITS A SEDAN, right now is the moment to go for cars like that since trucks and suv's, even with dealer discounts, are insanely overpriced and out of range for the average person, y'all need to remember that manufacturers, no matter what, will only sell something profitable.
i honestly think sedans are they way t go for the advrage family, and coupes even better for a singlr person or couple. i do admit i drive a pickup around, but its small(1st gen s10) and what i have right now, but am working on an old mustnag that will be awesome for me to drive around with better storage for things i cant put in a truck bed and better gas millage while still being relitivly cool, even if its a completely base model mustang.
Totally brother, I own 3 Sedans out of 6 cars and I drive the sedans WAY more than my Jeeps. Honestly, you S10 is smaller than some of the sedans out there, so you basically drive a sedan truck, which btw, I am super jealous of that S10...those were the days. How many miles have you cranked up on the ticker? Get that Mustang up and running and you will have a sweet collection there. -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy my 93 S10 currently has 135000 miles, I've put about 10'000 of those miles on her. Mustang has 95'000 but I need to replace head gaskets and other seals before I can daily her
Thank Joe, I hope to have it out sooner than later. The trailer was a tad late on release so the full film will be out VERY soon. Cheer my friend. -Brandon
Totally agree brother. Honestly, just give me the station wagon, the modern ones like the Mercedes and BMW ones over in Europe are my favorite. I had the pleasure of driving a Mercedes AMG wagon for 2 weeks and it was AMAZING. Not only could I fit a ton of my gear in it, drive through the Alps, but I could do it fast and max it out on the Autobahn. I might be going back to Europe for some work in the next few months, I'll try to get some amazing footage next time. Thanks for commenting and I am glad to see you. -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy Those wagons are awesome. Hatches too. I’ve always loved a good hatch. I have a SUV because I tow a boat every week, and a minivan because it’s the single greatest kid carrier on the planet. However, I really miss the sedans. So much easier to drive and much more fun. I’m hoping that when the kids are older, I can get something like a WRX instead of a Minivan.
Yeah a nice hatchback is awesome, I drove a few Audi hatchbacks a few weeks ago and really considered trading in my M340i...couldn't do it though. I like smiling every time I floor it. As for you SUV and Minivan, it sounds like you 100% need those though. I bet it helps have the kids in the back when they are fighting and they can just go at it lol...thats what we did when we were kids 😆. WRX's are sweetttttt...get one while you still can bro. -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy We're gonna have everyone from "muh truck is muh sedan" to "I swear by Toyota and I suck their toes" to "my 2003 Kia Rio has been going strong for 350k miles, the Internet is just wrong"
Cars were a stylish trend that came about in the 60s longer lower wider General motors introduced And it went on for a long time, if you really want to get technical the very first cars were all suvs with very high ground clearance Take a look at a model t And the later large body on frame vehicles that came after We're only getting back to our roots of what actually worked in our day to day lives better And I love sedans
Brother, you bring up some solid points here and I have never thought of it like this. Thank you for sharing that, as a fellow sedan lover, I wish they would make them more though. -Brandon
Be sure to mention CAFE standards' affect on the market. Why, for the same price, should I the consumer buy a smaller car when the SUV/CUV has more storage, seating, and viewing space?
110% brother, I am going to mention that. Thank you for ensuring I do that and I mean that. There are times where I am writing a video script and you or someone else reminds me of something I should include. So, that's a long way of saying thank you for the support and information. I really hope you enjoy the film when I release it. Its almost done 🫡. -Brandon

Here in Saudi we have the Ford Mondeo but they have renamed it the Ford Taurus It is made by the Chinese manufacturer Changan It has mixed options , The Chevy dealership has an MG SUV rebadged as a Chevrolet but no sedans. I think Dodge is the only one with no Chinese-made cars they have charger but discontinued .
Wow you are in Saudi? Very cool, I have always wanted to travel there because of this history. Do people in Saudi care about cars made in China like how other countries feel about it? -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy It's really nice in the winter summer is really hot. people have mixed opinions on chinese vehicles, but they've sold more than GM and Dodge people are buying them for the 10 year warranty unlimited mileage more luxury for less money The main issue is that the parts are only sourced from China and dealership, the workship are not willing to work on them because they're new vehicles they don't know how fix it
Nearly every “SUV” is literally just a FWD sedan with a fat ugly body on it. Maybe AWD as an option, but it costs extra in a lot of cases. There’s hardly even any REAL 4x4 SUVs anymore! 90s Icons like the Durango, Grand Cherokee, Pathfinder, Cherokee, Blazer are all literally minivans now. They’re even talking about replacing the WRANGLER with a crossover equivalent and getting rid of its solid axles over at Stellantis! It’s absolutely outrageous.
Gosh you are so correct in this. I get why the auto makers are doing it but they are literally going about it in one of the worst ways in my opinion and I think this is going to reflect very poorly on them in the future. Long term planning seems to be completely off the table for many companies and hopefully, in the full video, we can help change that...or at least be able to say "I told you so." Thanks for commenting brother. -Brandon

I can't wait to get this new video out, I think you guys are gonna love it. How long have you been doing animations? -Brandon
Yes...its a wild one for sure. I could probably make it a multi-parter but for now, it will be a one parter. I had about 10 pages written and condensed it to about 4ish. As you said, its a nuclear one for sure. Good to see you agin brother, hope you are doing well. -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy I cant wait to see it. Ive been doing good. Had some recent growth, leaning into my more nuts energetic side. So much for being stoic lol. Hows outprocessing for you? I remember mine sucked lol.
Hey that's good to hear brother and being stoic is great but maybe not on the internet lol...this is an attention based economy now...and figuring out ways to keep eyeballs on screen is key. Out-processing is meh. Still got a yearish left and they are using me as much as they can until the last second. Makes sense, our pipeline is like 2ish years and costs a lot. Just getting medical stuff documented...no point in hiding it anymore lol. Thanks for asking brother. -Brandon
@@A-BombEnergy Im generally quiet, though I guess I can tape in either to my metal days, or the cop days...use my cop voice and all lol. Oh, definteily document EVERYTHING, and dont let ego get in the way. I had cancer before my last deployment (which I missed), 30 days ICU, lost a ton of weight (like 50lbs the tumors, plus 30 or so more from not eating). But I recovered, go back to my squadron and me being dumb (and still thinking I would qualify for Ravens), I do my PT tests. 12minutes for mile and a half literally with 27 staples from my sternum to my crotch lol. So lots of bleeding...sure, was nice hearing some other young airman say "tha guy is Security Forces, thats so hardcore" But looking back now, having the VA full rating would be nice rather than literally zero. They claim I was exposed to radiation at home LOL. If youre not laughing...right? Let me know if you need anything. Not sure what I can do, but, at the very least I can listen. I know the BS too well.
Mark you are built like a Viking getting ready to take over Assgard lol. You need to be riding a dragon to work and drinking mead from a horn cup. Sedans are like ants to someone your size lol! -Brandon
Looking forward to it. I believe the companies are wrong cause the sales just went to companies making sedans still. Americans want affordable cars. The issue is the Big 3 made terrible sedans
Jacob, totally agree here brother. You will like what I present I think. Just a sneak peak but I blame the Big Three for the rise of SUV's and not really the regulators. Yes, they are part of it...but once you get about 8ish minutes into the full film, you will see what I am talking about. Always good to see you my friend. -Brandon
Hey brother, good to see you again. The film is almost done...can't wait to release it and see what you guys think. I am taking a pretty wild approach to this one and from my research, I really don't think anyone else has said or done what I am getting ready to do. Thanks for commenting my friend. -Brandon
Wagons and sedans are obselete. The crossover has killed them. I own a 2000 saturn sw2 wagon and a 2005 saturn vue. The wagon has a 125hp 1.9 4 and the vue a 150 hp 2.2 4. The vue gets the same fuel economy but its larger, heavier, roomier, has more cargo space, quieter, far more comfortable, bigger fuel tank so it goes farther, greater ground clearance which is great for flooding (which we get alot of here). In short its superior to the wagon in nearly every single metric.
Its really sad because personally, I love sedans and I REALLY love wagons. But from an objective point of view, this will come back to bite them I think. What you are comparing is a small piece of the pie I think, while I totally agree with the superiority of the SUV in some aspects, there are some downsides...but you will have to wait for the full film 😉. I will say this, comparing the Sedan version of lets say the Taos to the Jetta, Jetta gets better fuel economy. Auto makers have really come close to perfecting the sedan...and now they are ending it. Thanks for commenting brother, its always a pleasure speaking with you. 🫡 -Brandon

Totally agree, I would love that. Make them the real versions too, not this wild stuff they make now. While its cool and I like them, they all just look the same. -Brandon
I love that Ford Ceo now is saying that we will have to go back to compact cars and learn how to love them again because big EV's are not profitable
Haha you saw that too? Yeah these companies are something else lol. Normally I wouldn't be so hard on them but they are basically ripping people off and taking tax money every year. Nahhhh you do that and its free game now lol. -Brandon
