New Armada looks great. I saw a new QX80 on the road and it definitely has presence. Japanese built on a truck frame, this should be a home run for Nissan. They have to hammer home that it's built in Japan and doesn't have a JATCO CVT. Ads on the infotainment 🤮 race car livery ad for a tobacco company 🤩
@Jamesemcnairofficial I know and we all wish it, however, it's not a smart business choice because they'll get fined out the wazoo from epa and govt for not meeting Fuel Economy requirements
@stevornrichards1380 I know. I just wanted to vent because of how disappointed I am with the bureaucratic state of it all. I get that there need to be more efficient and economic options, but at the same time, they're not really saving the ecosystem by taking away cars that are fun and affordable, too. It's just easier to go after the automotive industry than to make changes in sectors like shipping and energy production. 😴
@MattMaranMotoring You're right, it doesn't mean I have to like it 🤣 Atleast they're making their cars look somewhat more modern. I own a 2014 Infiniti q50 and I can see why it could be mistaken for the newer cars!
Makes me feel like a boss that a brand new 824 hp Aston Martin uses a Zed F 8 speed....and so does my 2014 BMW x1 hahah. The amount of stuff that transmission is found in is incredible
Matt have you ever thought of being an automotive marketing consultant? I love your reviews but honestly watch mostly for your weekend update (doubt I’ve missed one since you started them). Not only do you give an excellent synopsis of all the important news stories in the automotive world for the week but you really do have some great insight and ideas about what manufacturers could do better or differently.
So we are still waiting on new Murano? I think at this point, Murano is the only one that still haven’t receive updates yet, and I believe it’s oldest in Nissan Lineup since it came out 10 years ago.
I don’t mind EV’s at this point but the way Hyundai is doing it is great especially if they want to bring older models back from the 80s and making it an ev. I would love that especially from Honda and Toyota
On ads: they must be coming on the whole car subscription thing (that Volvo is pioneering). So that's another reason to say to consumers: stop, don't sign up for a car subscription service, or we'll ruin that too, like we did the internet when we wanted everything for free and turned it into another corporate media entirely run by ads.
I Like the 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish. I Like the Tail Lights. Wish It was a 2+2 Like DB12 & Fog Lights in the Front Wheel Intakes. My New Big Lottery Win GT. I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)
Wunderbar! Finally another Episode of the Matt Maran Friday Night Car News Show - with almost 30 Minutes of new Topics again. Wishing every Viewer here a great day and a relaxing weekend ahead. Enjoy the News!
They will use AI to predict right before you click so you accidentally click the ad. YT already is experimenting with this by playing an ad while you write a comment on some videos because you will be forced to listen to them.
I love the idea of the Scout brand but historically European manufacturers absolutely blow it when it comes to bringing a car to market with a fair MSRP. I’m fully expecting an overpriced SUV
It seems that the predominate problem with hydrogen is the money. _How do I [the hydrogen refinery] make a profit off of the most abundant element in the universe?_ You cannot patent an element. Nor can you harvest or claim ownership of the atmosphere. Greed will inevitably lead to more nefarious marketing tactics as profits begin to stabilize because "there is never enough money". All the resources to make hydrogen the way of the future is already in-place. Sadly, it is the rapacity of individuals and entities that prevents us from moving forward and away from electric. As always, I greatly appreciate these Saturday morning updates, Matt. Stay classy my friend.
The Armada actually makes more sense than the QX80 and the Nissan looks better. Infiniti is just a joke if those plants are true. Nothing compelling at all. RIP. Genesis will take over your dealerships, as they need them. Actually Mercedes is not following BMW if they're using different platforms for next S-Class. BMW uses they same platform for both cars. EQ can't go away fast enough. I predict Scout will be a hit, it seems VW finally cares enough about the US market to actually cater to American customers. They've never seem to get his right with VW, while Audi nails it consistently.
I wouldn't boycott anything for a patent. If they put this in Ford cars though, I'd sell my Ford stock. If they license their patent to Nissan or Chevy, I'd double down instead.
Ugh man come on stellantis. I need some news. It’s been at least two weeks and I’m beginning to get annoyed. Fiat was able to come up with their Stella platform car YEARS ago… so the platform is ready.. I’m guessing they’re getting QC in check for electronics since the new EV’s will no longer use Uconnect. It’s an all new infotainment now called “Stella brain/ Stella cockpit.” Kia and Hyundai have EV models so old that they’ve been refreshing them! Like ugh come on guys. Your BIGGEST supporter ever on earth is EAGERLY WAITING. 😔 If I see Jeep release another model or refresh before Chrysler I’m going to pull my hair out. Seriously.
@bradenmchenry995 I know it's a gt car with a v12, but you know as well as I do that they could make a 2 seater gt car 3800 lbs easily if they wanted to
If my car ever played a random advertisement that wasn't a radio advertisement I'd crash on purpose and sue the company for doing that
Sorry I was late for work boss, I had to watch a 15 min add before I could start my car.
20:33 I like that you just (rightfully) ignore the subaru solterra
13:00 this whole rush to go all ev with auto makers will never sit right with me
You're my main source of car news
The new Aston Martin's side-profile is reminiscent of the new Mustang's (which, in turn, is inspired by the Camaro).
Great update, thanks Matt!
Thanks for watching!
That Ford add thing totally came out from a CEO/investors meeting lol
Another great weekly update! That last news story is pretty funny, “dystopian ad filled future?!!” I can already see on my recommended page 😂
New Armada looks great. I saw a new QX80 on the road and it definitely has presence. Japanese built on a truck frame, this should be a home run for Nissan. They have to hammer home that it's built in Japan and doesn't have a JATCO CVT.
Ads on the infotainment 🤮
race car livery ad for a tobacco company 🤩
Nice car but was actually looking forward to the mid engine vanquish vision concept.
Hydrogen BMW, maybe it's a weight reduction strategy?
Infiniti 🤦♂️ Needs v6 and v8 RWD Sedans, coupes, and SUVs. Be the enthusiast luxury brand you COULD be!
If they do that they'll go out of business because they'll be buried in fines for not meeting fuel economy requirements.

The Vanquish looks great. But IMO the current Aston design philosophy already peaked witht the DB12
DB11 is more elegant imo.
Another fine update Matt. Well done. Have a great weekend!🐶🐶😁🚗
Thanks, you too!

Thank you Matt. Great video!

Thank you, I appreciate that! I’d love to be a consultant but I’ve never had anyone approach me about that. Maybe someday!
So we are still waiting on new Murano? I think at this point, Murano is the only one that still haven’t receive updates yet, and I believe it’s oldest in Nissan Lineup since it came out 10 years ago.
It's been spied, I think it should be coming fairly soon.
Interesting news this week. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks for watching!
Given the db12 got an engine downgrade, vanquish looks great. Dbx needs the v12 to flirt with the purosangue
The front end of the new Vanquish reminds me of that one Doctor Who episode where everyone was growing gas masks
Ford really must hate making money
I don’t mind EV’s at this point but the way Hyundai is doing it is great especially if they want to bring older models back from the 80s and making it an ev. I would love that especially from Honda and Toyota

What if the fancy Rogue carries on the QX50 nameplate?
Nah probably QX40 because EV SUV would carry QX50 it makes sense to kill the QX50 and QX55 as it’s made in a factory shared by Mercedes
@@chezzyperson3339you have insider information that the EV will be called QX50?

EV “extended range” batteries should be standard equipment across the automotive industry by now 🤦🏾♂️
Are those ads gonna pop up right when you are using navigation to maneuver through an area!? sheesh
They will use AI to predict right before you click so you accidentally click the ad. YT already is experimenting with this by playing an ad while you write a comment on some videos because you will be forced to listen to them.
Matt, would you take the Ferrari or aston?
I'm still warming up to the 12Cilindri styling and name, so I think I'd go for the Aston.
Maybe I’ll pick up a 2024 Armada SV at the end of the year for like 43k
I think the new S-Class looks great, but if sales are dropping, it's because of Tesla.
I honestly wish Nissan would go back to their roots with simple solid cars and rename the Armada as "Patrol."
Will the Ford in cabin ads be subscription based? 😂
I love the idea of the Scout brand but historically European manufacturers absolutely blow it when it comes to bringing a car to market with a fair MSRP. I’m fully expecting an overpriced SUV
someone tell Hyundai that the nacs port is on the wrong side
Making viewers wait 48 hours to be able to comment on your live show is ridiculous, Mathew!

Ford, can you improve your build quality and reliability?
Ford: Best we can do is give you ads.
Hah! They hope ads will distract us from the rattles, hood fluttering and loose trim.
It still amazes me how well the German's and the Japanese work together. Take a look at ww2 for example 😂
Aston Maring , $420,000 and not as fast as an Ioniq 5 N....
It’s about experience not speed. V12 vs electric motors
@@drippgxd um, it's about speed. Otherwise you'd buy a Miata...
You missed the point there buddy

BMW is showing its German cousins how it's done with the EV transition. Mercedes has to make better styled cars.
Who else got ads while watching matt rant about ads?
Hahaha fair point!
Armada and QX80 are not distinguished enough, they gave the Armada basically everything from QX80
Nah that’s just wrong. Rear end of qx80 looks different than armada
🙂👍
man how is the vanquish over 4000 lbs :( that just doesn't seem right
It’s a big gt car with a twin turbo v12
@bradenmchenry995 I know it's a gt car with a v12, but you know as well as I do that they could make a 2 seater gt car 3800 lbs easily if they wanted to
honestly probably 3200lbs for what they're charging
