Throttle House stands out to me because they're not just reviewing cars, but they teach you about a car, its components, its culture, history. Feel like I'm in a science class instead of a dealership

@hanswurst6742 3 года назад

Science is very far fetched. But they are enternaining

@mostafakassem6542 3 года назад

If you haven't watched savagegeese, i think you'd enjoy that car review channel.

@thomasbuchanan6235 3 года назад

That is the same reason old top gear was so special. It was the culture, not just the cars.

@dammyo6010 3 года назад

Them & savagegeese are great at this. SG manages to be educational and irreverent at the same time.

@VictorPitstop 3 года назад

Yeah. No reading from a brochure. Car reviews are becoming so stagnant and no one really stands out as much as Throttle House. Savage geese is great but a touch too dry for me. I cannot stand the straight pipes because they are negative more times then not and they force their humor (humour for you Canadians). Throttle house is like the old Top Gear for me now.

@-atnx7- 3 года назад

As someone who actually works at the BMW Plant, I can tell you personally putting those grills on is actually kind of satisfying. Knowing these cars from the moment they are being made is special. And trust me the Alpinas always get more attention than any other model. Because of course.
