Clearly we all have different views of what constitutes attractive. Against that metric, the car does better than her.

I miss when Jeremy Clarkson, James May, or Richard Hammond would do car reviews...sigh. Or god forbid, Tiff Needell....
I think the main hate for supercarblondie is she's the "overly attached girlfriend" crazy / sexy look, but basically just regurgitates a few brochure talking points, never really drives the car more than 20 feet / 30 seconds worth of tooling around, and is OH MY GOD SO STUNNED AND EXCITED BY EVERYTHING LIKE OMG GUYS DID YOU KNOW THIS THING IS CARBON FIBER?!!! The schtick gets old after like 2 videos, even if the first one sucked you in with "ooooo hot blonde lady and WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT CAR I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT HOLY - oh, it's a prototype? Oh, they're not actually going to drive it, just flash the lights and maybe rev it a couple times? Ooook...." edit - this was the first time I learned about how the carbon fiber McLaren F1 was made, and also the first (and really, only) time I got THAT into watching a video about someone getting excited over carbon fiber : Side note, that McLaren video is from like 1999. While there are just as good more modern videos detailing the production process, with higher quality video, production value, etc, the point is that it's monumentally more impressive and exciting than some trim bits and such. Maybe I'm just jaded, but dude, I'm in my mid 30s - I can't really blame anyone older than me who's seen far more for not really getting into supercarblondie's level of excitement over this you know?

While watching this video, it became far too obvious that the race to acquire more 'likes' was more important than the subject of the video.
Carbon fiber package + ceramic brakes = $19K USD. The sequel to this video focusing on deeper exploration of these two options and alarming prices would make me a subscriber. |

I exited the video as soon as she put the fuel cap in the wrong spot and left it sitting on the side..

I titled it as such because it's not really a driving review but it's more than we've gotten so far.

I feel like I ordered chicken strips at Chick Fillet and got Tyson microwaveable chicken nuggets instead.

I personally love CF. I think what people have issue with here is how this supercar blondie chick makes it out as bling, a way to flash your money: "Get the CF, it will show others how much money you have spent on this car", just like buying the latest LV sneakers .

"I would say 90% sure that yes, they'll be doing some kind of driving event for journalists but lock down no doubt is causing issues. we held a journalist day before lockdown where we had a variety of cars for people to drive but that was done in the UK and all within covid guidelines."

How do they get there? Travel is so restricted within the EU. The fact is BMW M still has plenty of time before the car is really on sale to release such things. The people like me jumping on early allocations don't need to be sold all that hard.

I have watched and read several dozen good/credible driving reviews of my next car, which was also released in the middle of the pandemic. And it is those reviews, praising how good of a drive it is, that swayed me over.

As my college philosophy 101 professor told us, "universals are never true" (although that in itself is a universal). Sure, there will be some young people with money that might buy it, same with maybe some 90yo's. The buyers/age is a bell curve. It doesn't seem to make sense to me to spend money marketing it to the low end of the curve
