In my view, You are currently the best auto show presenter. Do not leave nor add another presenter. When the recipe is 💯 % ok 👌🏽. There is no need to change it for that change will never be better!!! So please stay and kept it the usual!!! Thanks
Honestly I have driven new S and GTS and the difference in performance is minimal, I would love to Dyno them unless the S was lying it’s going to be 20hp Max
Honestly I wasn’t a fan of RR at Top Gear but the RR in AutoTrader is amazing and he better not go anywhere as he got me to subscribe to this channel 😌
I bet presenters just love hearing people say 'mate you're an acquired taste but you wore me down in the end'. And so what if he left? Why isn't everyone encouraging him to start his own channel?
I just assumed that the channel was getting traction with the car companies, and they were bombarding him with more cars than he can handle. As Rory is just one man, what a man, but still only one man, adding an extra experienced presenter allows them more videos without breaking Rory into pieces.

I don't know if you want detailed feedback on this new format or not but.... I liked her, good energy, good presentation style. Not yet jaded to lower spec cars from years of hyper performance vehicles etc. Overall I'd be happy with Alex as a new presenter ☺️ however, it did feel like the content was a bit dumbed down to what Rory's videos are, maybe more aimed at buyers who don't have a lot of auto knowledge? Eg the description of the wheels and brakes were very simplistic, Rory would normally state the tyre size and profile and the diameter of brakes etc etc. if you're planning to use Alex as for lower tier car marketing style videos, it'll work I reckon. But I assume most of us watch the performance car type videos WANTING to know the small details. And the lack of any specifics other than 'its good and it's fast' wouldn't cut it for me in future videos to be honest.
I’m happy to see the channel grow as long as Rory isn’t going anywhere. He is the reason I subscribed and don’t watch Top Gear much anymore. Good job Alexander too, I think you add that diversity that will add more value to an already great channel.
Alexandra did a great review on this Porsche Macan GTS. With that said, I hope Rory is not going anywhere. His reviews are one of the main reasons why I subscribed to Auto Trader in the first place.
@Rory hope you don’t leave. I like the way you present the channel. I don’t longer care about car speed starts. Specifically after most of EVs do the same at cheaper price.
Autotrader, I think you missed a trick here. Why is Rory so popular? Because he's different. He's Black, eloquent without being posh, and he has swag - style with a common touch. Alexander is posh, highly polished and comes over very much as a professional journalist. Absolutely nothing wrong with all that but why not take chance with a female Rory? Someone not posh, possibly even from an ethnic minority and with an individual style? Risky? Nah, not really. Look at how popular going against the grain with has worked out. All the best of luck with Alex but you're giving us something we already have in abundance on other shows/channels. Vicky Butler Henderson gave us what your new presenter does more than a decade ago
After watching and reading reviews all I can say is the internet never disappoints. Something people fail to realise is that Rome wasn't built in a day. Rory is good at presenting 'cos he's been at it for a long time. As far as I'm concerned Alex did a wonderful job and will get better with time. Reminds me of when Doug reviewed a car for the second time cos he felt the first time (which was years ago) he wasn't as thorough. People get better with time as long as they stick to it.
I like how Rory's treating her. Their chemistry and her enthusiasm make it easier to embrace the fact that it's not just Rory anymore. She seems competent.
I really like how these two presenters work together and compliment one another. Its a winning combination. Among other things, Alexandra brings a perspective can attract women to the channel. She also presents in a language that men appreciate. Rory? He is in rare company. Among other things, he knows he has a broad audience. Not all have the means to purchase a McLaren or Bentley. There are those who simply want an electric SUV that is suitable for young family. These souls may want their daily to be a Lotus, but they most consider things like space for baby car seat and stroller. What does Rory do? He reviews both.
"Among other things, Alexandra brings a perspective can attract women to the channel." My wife is strongly of the view that what attracts women to the channel is Rory. I think she cheapens him by viewing him purely as an object of desire. Anyway, as long as Rory is not going anywhere - I think he's an excellent presenter - I think Alexandra is a welcome addition. This was a very good first review.
She still has to find her own voice, and of course Rory clearly has found his ages ago. Besides he is the best reviewer at the moment, wouldnt trade him in for her, like so many I dial in for RR. But I do hope she will find her voice because that will make it so much more fun and valuable for all of us. As long as it isn't meant as a run up to RR leaving. Just to be sure I liked his comment to get it closer to the 1000 upvotes!
I believe the strongest competitor for the GTS is its less powerful sibling the Macan S. It is basically as fast as you need with the same engine only slightly detuned. And quite a bit cheaper too
@@davidberg3154 Yeah, we have a Gen II GTS at home haha… but if you are value conscious… the Gen III S uses the same engine as the Gen II GTS… but w a milder exhaust yes
I don't think you need another presenter you do it so well 💯 some of us are here because we blended with your style NOT BEING BIASED keep doing it RR The caption says it For me its a Good but would have been great as always 💯
If Rory goes, I’ll never watch another Autotrader video, this one was terrible, Rory is a natural reviewer of cars, watching this video and then a proper Rory one shows it.
I feel warped back in time to good reviews, courtesy of this lady. Rory is the evolution the evolved. Like KFC he has his own secret recipe and is a source of uniqueness that’s refreshing entertaining informative captivating. So what’s his secret? It’s difficult to say but I think scientists would say. “It’s written in his DNA”. It wouldn’t be surprising his first sound at birth was “ca ca a Car”. His enthusiasm is infectious, what he brings to the table precious, his contribution to Automotive reviewing, immeasurably humongous.
I've been watching Rory since his days way back when on the CNET UK podcast and his enthusiasm was boundless even then and that was talking about technology rather than cars.
@@AutoTraderTV Oh my goodness yes! I do remember it now! That must have been one of the earliest podcasts I listened to. - You obviously didn't do too bad a job as I'm still listening to podcasts in general. Now let me go and add the RSS feed to my podcatcher.
TH-cam is strongly geared towards channels never changing, so naturally people are gonna have strong opinions, but the future of this channel is looking pretty bright regardless of who stays or goes.
Is it with the additional (GTS sport package) or a standard Macan GTS? Cuz firstly the difference is noticeable in terms of performance and ofc the price is different, also the colour is python green even the seat belt colour is. Great review btw.
Rory makes us feel that all new cars have been delivered from another planet and has that surprise element and WOW factor. No one can replace him for sure. Will be back when Rory is back.
11/10 Snowbunny, but I'm team RR and I don't mean Ruff Ryders. Going wherever Rory goes as usual, but hoping he stays with AT so he doesn't have to start over somewhere else
I like her a lot!! But she's no VBH who features on Rorys other job, doing electric rides. Experience is key I suppose, but she will grow on me, no doubt, if shown more. Love her voice..
Great intro! The car and Alex. If you could ever so slightly incorporate reviews for vehicles that have the 25 - 35 year old female demographic for their target market and have Alex take the lead on those would work. She's got a vibe that seems to resonate with that demographic.
Thoroughly enjoyed the review (as always), LOVE the new alignment with Alexandra, complimenting the Rory Reid swag and astuteness in review of this vehicle. Good energy, great addition, GOOD (great) move.
Welcome to Alexandra, she is lovely and clearly knows her stuff. Macan's are always let down by their rims. I know bigger allows affect to ride, but they should be eye-catching.
Can anyone say me where are these roads located which one is in this vedio and other vedios because those scenarios are so beautiful.Plz comment If you know, thanks
If this pinned comment gets 1000 likes, I won't leave the channel :) -Rory
Well I'm off to make 1000 accounts..
I'll be back in a bit

Rory is the best reviewer ever, he could review a review of a review of a review and I'd watch it about seven times easy, he is that good😐
Mat watson is 10 times better
not even close to chris harris. lol
Smart move adding a presenter. We can’t rely on Rory’s old Bentley getting him to work, can we? :)

100% agree with this. Her review was way too high-level for me. I want the details!
Noted :) Thanks for watching -RR
It would be good if she could avoid saying “nice” and “fun” all the time.
Yeah 100% nothing personal to alex but car people can be picky we really do love the nitty gritty details
Agreed yeah
She's great! Must've been exhausting for Rory to do all the reviews by himself. Glad we'll have more quality content and variety going forward!

Ordered one,after a year still no sign of a build slot let alone a car....so good luck to anybody that wants one.
So I bought a 1 year old Cayenne hybrid at the same cost as of new. Challenging times ⏲️ 😳
@@mikepaterson9573what happened to the Macan GTS order?
Not watching AutoTrader reviews anymore. Liked Rory and his informative reviews and mini documentaries.
I'm not leaving. So if you still want to stop watching that would be very strange. -RR
Come back Rory, all is forgiven 😢😢😢
lol, aah stop it, he's not going anywhere
Well, there's a throwback. Reminds me of the Fast, Furious and Funny days!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 FFF squad
Don’t even dare it Autotrader, Roy is the reason i watch these reviews and i can watch him all day.
Oh my word, indeed. Talk about a robotic presence... Rory, please teach her how to review like it she really means it!
I believe the strongest competitor for the GTS is its less powerful sibling the Macan S. It is basically as fast as you need with the same engine only slightly detuned. And quite a bit cheaper too
You don’t get the same exhaust sounds

Totally
@Alaberti its a slow transition.

One of the best intros to a car review I've seen, great sense of humour guys. Keep up the great work!

Sorry... No Rory... I'm not watching or clicking the "like" button!
Personally I think these 2 work really well together, one of the most enjoyable car videos I’ve watched in ages
Very cool to see different perspectives
Thanks for everything Rory ;)
Macan's are great, but the rear end on the 2nd gen's compared to the 1st gen's no comparison, the first gen has such a nice rear end.
These unibrow rear ends are awful. So generic and outdated already.
Its very hard to replace Rory, she did a splendid job though. I know she must be sweating while reading the comments. Well dont worry, we aprove👌🏾👌🏾
Well four things.
1) I looove the Macan GTS
2) I love Rory
3) I love this channel
And 4) well I think I could soon love your new presenter 😃😁
love... -RR
I’m on the channel only for Rory
Is it with the additional (GTS sport package) or a standard Macan GTS?
Cuz firstly the difference is noticeable in terms of performance and ofc the price is different, also the colour is python green even the seat belt colour is. Great review btw.
All I know is this: if I can ever afford a Porsche, it won't be an SUV...
Great review. I have recently taken delivery of the new Macan S and I love it.
it's beautiful 😍🚗 but I'd still take the Cayenne Turbo S E Hybrid ❤
Oh yeah?because it costs more ofcourse any one would do that,if money was no object
@@-_--le3zk this Macan GTS is still expensive, you can get something like GLC63S AMG for that price...
Yep me too...
That is the top of the line model and bigger suv too. Anyone would do that lol
