Top Gear has really fallen off the wagon, hasn't it?

This isn't motoring journalism. This is marketing.

[Professor-Scientist]

After reading the title I was surprised to see the first car being reviewed has a V12 in it !

[atakanpolat]

Best City Car - Awards an SUV because it has back seats (that will rarely be used), has enough range for rural trips and can go faster than the speed limit. That Jeep is a cool car but you guys should double check what a city is.

Who made these decisions? Do they need medical help?

[MrTonifumi]

How can a car win when it's just a promise?

[StijnDierickx]

First EV award; V12 - I like where this is going.

[dodu]

Jeep! Seriously? Widely regarded as one of the world's least reliable auto brands for the past 20-odd years.

[isaacmcareavey]

Disappointed to not see the McMurtry spierling here, phenomenal car

[shiakas]

Electric cars don't have tailpipes, those are hybrids.
Pretty basic stuff here people..

[AMakGB]

So what happened to the Kia EV6 (released in 2021) and EV6 GT (released in 2022) or the EV9 (set to be released at the end of 2023)??? The EV6 won What car? car of the year, Red dot 'best of the Best' and 'innovative product' and i think a nomination in the Autocar Awards 2022. Also carwow did a range test on a bunch of cars and the EV6 won. And the EV6 starts at under 50k, so its a shame u guys excluded it. Also what about Rivian?
Honestly take the time to do your research and fact check pls!

My list would be:
Looking forward to: EV9
Best Luxury EV: EQS/Lucid Air
Innovation Award: Rivian Pickup
Retro: Ioniq 5
Range Champ: EV6
GT: I don't mind ur choice of Maserati although I'm sure there is a better GT
Excess: Hummer isn't bad but Rivian is a good choice too
Everyday: MG is fine
Chris: Nobody cares whatever
Best Electric concept: Mercedes Benz EQXX
Life Achievemnt: Sure prius
Van: ID Buzz
E-Racer: Nevera/McMurtry Speirling/Lotus Evija
City car: Literally anything bu the jeep. Who tf is gonna drive a jeep.
Electric Car of Year: Again Literally anything other than the Jeep

These manufacturers obviously paid big $ to make your list. Mercedes and BMW i4( true EVs) not hybrids, refused to pay your bribes.,

[clintnaik]

Anyone know the name of this building? It’s beautiful and I want to learn more about it.

[alexmaddox]

I though the quoted price of the Jeep Avenger was low (so low it peaked my interest), its currently starting from £34, 800. The model shown is £40, 000, so not the £32, 000 as mentioned in the video.

[alexdi]

It's incredible to me that Rivian isn't in this. You mentioned the Hummer, but not the R1T that does everything better.

[IainL]

The Lamborghini with just enough hybrid backup to squeeze past EU laws and massively inflate the price, but not actually provide any real world benefit, is hardly a worthy winner. They’re only now reaching the “put a little hybrid on it for even more power” stage everyone else did a decade ago.

[FernandoMiguel]

You need more pockets on those pants so you can carry even bigger phones

[DPrintedCat]

All these cars have ICE. So far, leaving the video now haha.

[MarmiteTheDog]

The usual nonsensical TG list of ridiculousness.

[froggopoggu]

Oh how far from the graces you have fallen

[thegreatmonster]

yeah yeah yeah.. with the special thanks to our sponsors.. innit?!
