This is the one you've been waiting for.

That was a great review! I really enjoyed that video, all fair comments and he really liked the car. Also, Catchpole is a superb driver and I've always agreed with his views in EVO, so this has made me even more excited to get this car!

Montaver · 11-09-2022, 05:22 PM

Harris, Catchpole, Metcalf, Prosser. Gold standard for reviewers IMO. No surprise they are all ex Evo.

DocWeatherington · 11-09-2022, 05:52 PM

I like this guy...solid every review

thurston · 11-09-2022, 05:57 PM

Nice. He's a great reviewer too. Ever since I saw his McLaren 'Home Run' bit, I started watching more.

MadBimmeRad · 11-09-2022, 06:34 PM

Henry turns a boring review into high art; it doesn't matter what he says (good or bad)

Jason Cammisa is in the same league IMHO.

And of course, there's the CSL 😉

Great review!

Chris Harris has lost me. His opinion on some new cars is odd to say the least.

He is just not that interested in modern super cars, I understand where he is coming from. He did a great video for collecting cars recently about his Lancia Delta integrale. As someone of a similar generation who also grew up lusting after a certain type of car (205 Gti, Citroen AX GT, 306Gti, E36 M3, Golf GTi etc.) his opinion has always really resonated with me. He has a talent for telling stories and evoking emotions that is quite unique I think.

There are some very good US reviewers too (Savage Geese, Throttle Horse, Jason Camisa, Smoking Tire etc) but those Evo guys are really the cream of classic journalism to me. I know he gets criticised (unfairly imo) but I really like Joe Achilles as well.

Hagerty definitely has one hell of a lineup. They've become my favorite automotive channel at this point.

Excellent review.

Henry is just great.

Did Hagerty buy Carfection? If so, smart purchase! They've also got Camissa, who's also one of my faves.

I don't have an answer to your question, but these guys are freelancers.

Totally unrelated, but couldn't help it, was just watching this.

Randy's facial expressions are something else.

M4 CSL look better more aggressive.Guess I'm not into oldie but goodie car. M4 is newer better tech, faster. Older m3 look boring out date.

Obioban · 11-10-2022, 12:24 PM

Dubbing the e46 CSL exhaust sound over the intake sound in the interior shots does not do it any favors. Not sure what they were thinking, there!

Haven't been up to date on all the Youtube stuff, but out of curiosity which opinions?

The whole M3 review he gave was garbage. "Feels like a tuned 340i". "The 8 speed auto saps all the fun out of it" even though the Giulia Quadrifoglio he gushes over has the same transmission. He was even complaining about the way the front fender drops down. The way he used to slag Ferraris until they let him drive their cars. Like 5 years ago he said the future of Lamborghini is bleak. The guy is a clown.
