Are you really trying to make an argument with two nomarks discussing something Jeremy Clarkson said?

One of the most outspoken people around, famous for being a grumpy, stuck in his ways bastard? He also hates GM cars, Meghan Markle and caravans, so what?

You clearly do not know a thing about Tyler Hoover, or Top Gear/Grand Tour.

Hoovie’s Garage is a highly popular YouTube channel on the internet for years and Tyler has made a ton of money from it. He’s also now a permanent co-host on all Barrett-Jackson auction broadcasts. He’s younger than me but knows a heck of a lot more about cars than I do.

Top Gear BBC was the most watched TV show in the world.

And for the record, Clarkson doesn’t hate ALL GM cars - just the crappy ones! He clearly loved the 6th Gen Corvette ZR1 and 5th Gen Camaro Z28.

So, the stuff in bold are the commercials I saw during the (5) football games I watched this weekend, including MNF. I also tried to note the ones others say they saw. I don’t know why it indexed everything one position and I haven’t been able to correct it.

As I said in my original post, Ford, GM, and Ram pickups are a lock. They are in hand-to-hand combat to maintain the customers they have so they will all maintain a high level of advertising.

So, 7 of the Top 25 selling vehicles advertised on football games this weekend. Not the most scientific polling, but not a strong look for needing TV ads to sel vehicles.

Some others that I saw that are NOT on the Top 25 list

• Cadillac Lyriq
• Chevrolet Equinox EV
• Honda Pilot

Source? Did a quick search and saw nothing. I have literally always wanted to see him drive that car or a 6th Gen. He has been a notorious Camaro hater and honestly I feel he’s probably someone that would bitch about the visibility.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried to skip through a total of 1min from start to end and saw the same thing. Reminds me of being stuck at a social gathering and trying to make the best of it sitting with these two as I keep checking the time to see if I can go yet...Pleeeeese.
https://www.gbnews.com/celebrity/jer...nd-tour-ending I didn't know who he was and see from this people like him for being odd and making incorrect offensive comments Get off my lawn!


I didn't quit Burger King because they offered a Tofu Burger even though I won't touch that. I don't understand people who get so angry at other people's choices that make sense for their situation

yeah they need to close this thread because a couple people hate EVs, not ban those people who keep returning to an EV thread with hate.


Saw this tuber who hated the range on his ford lightning, but did roll race with an iconic v6turbo cyclone truck. Eye opening loss for the fast for the day vehicle. not trying to be on topic talking about an EV for the haters around here...

So I just did a thing…

$0 down, $330/month 24 month lease. Couldn’t pass that up. Olrocker might like this…I found out about the deal from a TV commercial.

Congrats. Thought about doing the same with the Hyundai leases but after some calculations I came to the conclusion I don’t drive enough to take advantage of not having to pay for gas. If I had to drive more I woulda done that. I never even considered leasing a car in my life. Currently looking for a high mileage f150 2.7 but doubt I’ll find one in my budget. Need a new daily.

awesome Equinox. My first color choice also. The Bolt EUV was my first thing to seriously consider then your choice came on the radar. It was my #1 choice except availability and price. You really should give us your review soon

Blazer EV RS RWD is over $60k. You really have to want an EV to drop that much $ on a Blazer.

The dealer closest to me has 26 for sale, in the low 50s and 40s after my tax dollars at work

The same dealer would have let me lease a Blazer RS EV AWD for $0 down. $380. I just preferred the Equinox and for $60 less? No brainer. Except the Blazer had a lot of tech in it that the Equinox does not. At that point, the $60k sticker is irrelevant.

If you are only going 20k miles total for those 2 years.

True. Not for everybody. I average 7,500 - 10,000 miles per vehicle per year so I can make it work. Probably doesn’t work for someone who has it as an only vehicle.
