Other than the outrageous pricing. The Z is basically a older model Z with cosmetic changes. Might as well get a 350 or a 370 Z. Mustang Dark Horse for around the same price would be a better choice in terms of getting a car with modern tech, more creature comforts, manual transmission for the special trim(manual in a new Nismo Z has yet to be officially confirmed as far as I know, but there are strong rumors, the last time I've heard), more power, nicer exhaust note due to the V8. I would even look into a Lexus IS 500 F Sport before looking into the Z even though it is a sedan. I have to give the Z thumbs down. 👎 👎

Lmao @ Vigor. It’s pronounced like “bigger” but with a V

I really enjoy your channel 👌🏿👌🏿

Your comments about VW's strategy with the Arteon are kind of like a solution in search of a problem. They don't make sense.

Awesome video! Kinda sad to see sedans getting the short end of the stick right now, but they will definitely not disappear completely. Especially if we're talking about higher-class vehicles, I bet seeing the current I7 as a hatchback will be pure nightmare fuel! 😂 Though I can see how they're trying to minimize their presence, since even the EQS, electrified a-la S-class is a liftback, and not a sedan. But again, their complete extinction is very unlikely!

The first guy in your video is just a lowlife car dealer who sells junk boxes to poor unfortunate souls I have seen him on social media spewing is uneducated self which is embarrassing to watch LMFAO!!!. Volvo is very well known to the world, there is no arguing that it’s funny how Volvo has always appeared in many movies TV shows since the early 70s. Volvo’s been well used in the entertainment business/industry. Americans and Westerners are well known to be followers and they will do whatever is popular at that given time they follow trends. Right now SUVs are the new trend and crossovers so of course they’re going to jump on the bandwagon with that and only buy those. However, many Americans if they do want to spend a little extra money, they will primarily buy a BMW or a Mercedes because they want to show off even though those cars are built like crap and die or develop serious problems at 70k. I know this because I grew up with a dad who is a mechanic. These people literally supported my dad and my family growing up with food on the table lol! It’s amazing how people will spend all that money just so that they can look a certain way to other people even though they know that those cars are built like crap and find out it was never worth from the beginging. However, we do want to be different! We don’t wanna be mainstream People Who drive, Hondas and Toyotas and look like everyone else. Volvo was never a cookie cutter car company and the majority of their customers are long term loyal car owners the only car company I've seen come close to Volvo with loyal owners is Subaru the rest of the people just go to different brands every 3 years thinking they will get something better!

Great show. Being a 70 year old man, I remember most of these cars. I think the worse years for america cars were the 70's and 80's. My first car was a 64 ford fairlane, and my car now is a 2020 ram hemi. I like the hemi the best. Just sayin. I subscribed.

I'm a sedan and coupe guy myself. I never like SUV's and most people don't know how to drive them *cough ...woman *cough, but seriously though it really should require a drivers license endorsement like a CDL does, as most of them aren't aware their a bigger vehicle + can flip over easier. People who drive them solely rely on the back up camera and don't know how to use their mirrors in tandem.

for 21k arteon 21my with about 30k miles, that was best deal on the market) Almost 2 weeks driving with a lot of please, p.s trim is SE

Great insight. I own a 2019 SEL R Line (FWD >__<) but absolutely love it. I've only seen a handful on the road since I bought it and get a lot of compliments. You can get a stage 1 FLASH ECU for only $650 and that's a nice pick up and really all I need.

I think most people would just buy an Audi over the Arteon. At its price point you could buy like an a4 or an a5

Im sure you saw it while researching or someone else mentioned it in the comments, but the CEO of FCA said that the Dart and 200 were some of if not the single, worse investments for the company. My neighbor had a 200 and Dart. Both were terrible.

Come to think of it, I've NEVER bought a sedan. But I've NEVER bought an SUV/CUV, either. I bought 2 coupes and 4 hatchbacks so far in my life.

great content! i can tell you put a lot of work into these. keep it up!

Hey Buddy. Love your videos and what not, but two things, having to do with the same person. First, its Lee last name pronounced like "ai-uh-kow-kuh" and yes we do know how he came to head up Chrysler. Henry Ford II str8 up fired him and so he needs a new job and Bam! To Chrysler he went. Thats all though, your doing a great job, so keep it up!

Well, I think there's an argument to be made that the new Buick Envista is a kind of a higher drive position, fast-back sedan. GM calls it a cross-over - but it's really more like a different kind of American sedan for the future, than a cross-over or SUV.

American sedans will return if the economy gets better. A lot of people can only afford one car, and if you can only have one, then you're going to pick something that maximizes practicality above all else, which usually means an SUV or corssover.

None available in Europe...

My neighbor had a last Gen Malibu, a Dart, and a 200. He had so many issues with every single one. Saw them broke down on the side of the road a few times. Heck he even had a rental Camry and I saw it broke down once. So maybe ignorance plays a factor. But the issues he had made it obvious not to buy American anything. He has a Mazda3 now. Seems to work okay. Was in a Fiesta once and I thought it was one of the worse things evern the interior was just falling apart with basically no use. Its materials and build quality were so low just existence made it rot away. I drove a last gen Chevy Cruz and it was so bad. The interior wasnt 10 years old but the plastics were falling apart. The shifter was the most flimsy cheapest thing I ever touched. The car was so low it couldn't get into the drive way. A problem many sedans suffer. Automakers are so desperate to make them look sporty they become very impractical pushing people to more reasonably shaped CUVs. If you see old sedans from the 40s or before they are higher up and about as tall as many CUVs. Just more practical. It seems consumers wish to return to such proportions. The Cruz wasnt very comfortable and had very little glass and felt like a dungeon to me. Even larger sedans in my experience arent at all comfortable. I think American brands also literally make no or very small profits with sedans and cars. If you look into reports, wording, and interviews many of them talk about how unprofitable or small the profits were on cars. I guess they just have decades of baggage with unions and suppliers and inefficiency. They barely make any American made cars anynore and still struggle with costs. Even their trucks have very low build quality and interiors fall apart. But truck buyers stubbornly dont care. When I asked a guy why his top of the line F-150 had shaky door panals and flimsy materials he said oh its a ford I knew that before getting it.

I think people are very willing to buy a 50k three row SUV/CUV with a mainstream badge. But nobody, especially here in the US, wants a 50k sedan from VW. They dont really have the best brand image and have fallen way behind even the Korean brands. Many of their models have had declines in sales. The car makes no sense, too. For a car to be this large with four doors yet a sloping roof that will have rear occupants heads hitting? It's a hard sale. Its a big car, yet not practical as a people hauler. More and more sedans have sloping roofs that make it a miserable experience sitting in the back, so by the end, the use of having rear doors makes little sense. You're better off with a coupe if you want driving dynamics and style. A 50k wagon, minivan, CUV is much more desirable place to sit in the back off than a 50k coupe sedan.

If you’re going to use that name on a car, it has to be fixable with pliers and duct tape, just like the original. Fiat/Chrysler didn’t need this advice.

Very cool video, man, thank you a lot for bringing this european dude into context ♥

Good video!

Very good video and great quality

I Hope That Toyota Revives The Scion Brand, So That, Scion Can Finally Do A Possible 3rd-Gen. TC, In The Future.😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😬😬😳😳😳😳🧐🧐🧐🧐😕😕☹️😒😒😒😒🙄🙄😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

American car companies have never asked what consumer want, they tell them what they can buy. Euro and Asian car companies tend to listen more. Plus US designed car don't actually fit outside of US ultrawide streets and higways. The current crop of trash like the Ranger and Ram are approaching the max dimensions of Oz road rules and can't be parked in older inner city carparks here...

I like the front it reminds me a lot of my 2017 Jetta with eve having the same day running lights in the front

There are still two sedans that are selling well: the Tesla 3 and Y. Maybe not so much because they're sedans but more because they're electric. Also maybe the Corolla and Civic due to their excellent reputation.

Is a good car with bad drivers

American brands also don’t care about brand recognition. Since the 60’s you could buy a Corolla and can still get one today. Chevy goes from Nova to Cavalier to Cobalt, to Cruze. Then there are the ones in between like the Sonic, Spectrum, Prizm, and those are just the compact cars. The same can be said for the Subcompact, midsize, and full size. An Accord is still an Accord, a Civic is a Civic, a Camry is a Camry, an Elantra is an Elantra, a Sonata is still a Sonata. There is a huge value in long term name recognition. Your great uncle may have had a Corolla, your mom’s first car may have been an Elantra, and you can still buy one of them for yourself, especially if they have fond memories of those cars.

Hi. I am thinking to buy a 21 se r line. Is the maintenance expensive? Nice looking car

Ever since the 7th gen, the first few years of an Accord redesign seem to be more of a “miss” for Honda (e.g., the pre-refresh 7th gen with that bleach-blonde bad-built Buick-looking booty and the 8th gen with that late 90s Camry-esque “Rubbermaid” looking front end). 🥱 The 10th gen sorta grew on me; but that droopy rear end - while it works on a W222 S-Class - doesn’t do it for me on that Accord. It just doesn’t have the taut look of some of the predecessors. Although, I do like the rear end of the 2024. It’s just that front end, the proportions, and general lack of character for me. Certain years of the Accord just had this “vibe” 😎 that is missing from the current generation. I love the vibe of the late 80s LXi, all of the 90s Accords (along with the early 2000s), and the 9th gen (especially towards the end with those LED headlights, front indicators, and that slim running strip for the rear tails 😘🤌). Those Accords had great proportions and detailing in their designs. The current one is just so anonymous to me. I would buy a 2017 Accord Touring model over the 2024 model. The 2017 is the last really good-looking Accord to me; but that’s just my opinion. 😌

Sedans are gone for the most part is because they figured out how to cheat EPA guidelines with trucks and bigger profit margins for SUV, CUV and PU.The US brands made them crappy on purpose as well IMHO. The last few sedans were decent (Fusion, Malibu, the 200 was junk)I traded my 3G TL Type S and got the RDX. This is my first new CUV but it drives like sedan and I think they are more versatile than sedans. Lastly I like wagons as well but they have the same stigma as minivans.

I have a 2017 Mitsubishi outlander sport AWD. I brought it in 2022. I brought it with 71K. I have 101K on it. I changed the transmission fluid. Will it last?

I love my Arteon and I'm glad its so rare! Stage 2 tuned, Maxton Design full lip kit, Rotiform wheels, and Milltek exhaust. It really turns heads and is fun to drive!

Aart, Bart, Cart, Dart. Eart......nope I don't see this car being made fun of.

ha - thanks for the vid. We had a 2005 for a number of years - was it wonderful? No. But other than a single fuel injector that needed replacing it worked great. Solid, efficient transportation.

2:10 Mohammed Hoblos? WTH 😂. Never thought in a million years!

Bro,u r seriously underrated.u will hit millions

Somehow I bought my performance trim last year for 49k

TC had a superchrager ?👀

Hyundai , Kia & Genesis sade 😂

Strange plastics?

It’s too big for most markets and there isn’t an estate version for dog owners. It isn’t sold in Europe and is practically an American, and possibly Australian, market product. All Hondas in Europe are hybrids now anyway, with the exception of an electric car that is too expensive.

Love my Arteon awd, after driving bmw’s, Audi’s and Mercs, it was a no brainer to me.

My current daily driver is a manual 08 Scion Tc and I love it 150k miles

Reminds me of Stevie Wonder.

These should be everywhere but greed is ruining it. And this is coming from a Toyota Guy

i always see an alitma with a cracked or hanging off bumper, i dont like to drive near them.

What do you mean the FRS isn't sporty? It's one of the best handling cars ever made. It is fast when the road isn't a straight line. People don't understand why Scion exists but never question why other manufacturers do the same exact thing. GM has had Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Saturn. There are others, but they are from other countries that GM has owned or been affiliated with and noone ever questions it.
