CNET On Cars - Top cars of 2012 holiday special Ep 9

We reviewed around 100 cars in 2012. These are the five that we scored the highest; it's a list that might surprise you.

I love his review style!! Even CNet is not car oriented review media, I always enjoy car review every single time because of his accurate, simple and unbiased review!! Thank you Mr. Cooley!!

[olaf]

Cooley has a STRONG bias for the Audi brand! I just love the way he goes on about that A5 you'd think it was no. 1.

Then when he gets to the BMW 640i he is all like "well there was nothing we didn't not like about it"

I love Cooley!

tnx Brian. probably the best show about cars i have ever seen

[NINJA]

Omg what's that high pitch frequency during the video?!?! Am I the only one hearing it? It started when at the prius part

[YeZhik]

Thank you so much for that mini episode of smarter driver with the car tires, good information!

[tepeke]

Brian, i hope next year is just as good with cnet on cars and hope to see many more reviews from some of the newly redesigned cars, keep up the awesome reviews!

Brian Cooley is the best reviewer in the world yes I said it. All other reviewers should be like him. He's open honest and truthful! He doesn't sugar coat shit and is just a good guy. MERRY CHRISTMAS BRIAN

I'm a bit confused how the 640gt placed 1st, the a7 didn't place at all, but the a7 was preferred in the shoot-out between them?

[toh]

Interesting pick the bmw 6 series gran coupe as your no 1 car for 2012 but here's a question for you; when you compared the audi a7 with the bmw 6 series gran coupe in a direct car comparison, you picked the audi a7 as the better overall vehicle!! How do you reconcile that??

[Gerberbaby]

So the Prius has the same "performance" score as the Porsche Panamera? Does Cnet have a different definition of performance?

[TheAhemahemahem]

The porche looks sweet besides its hatch back thing

[droppinsumfudge]

YAYYYAYAYAY!! I have a 2013 audi S5 and love it !!!!

Brian "Coolest Brain" Cooley puts the Tech in Check The Tech.
Helll Yeah Son!

[UncleAlpha]

YES COOLEY CHECK! CONTINUE TO WATCH...

[deltasworderx]

there's a very loud high pitch sound throughout the video ow.

[BestJinjo]

I think they picked the 640i GranCoupe over it. There wouldn't be much point to put both of those together when the BMW "beat" it. However, I personally think the 7 series is a better value. Once you option out the 6 series GranCoupe, its price gets very high.
