    I clicked on this video without seeing the number of views; simply because I was interested in the topic. By the end of the video I realized it only has 70 views and my jaw dropped. Such a good job mate, soothing voice and wonderful analysis. Hope it reaches more car enthusiasts and Soprano fans.

    I think overall it was Chris who had the nicest cars.
    Lexus LS, Mercedes CLK, Range Rover Vouge, Hummer H2, Johnny Sack’s used Maserati and the Cadillac pick up that he crashed eventually.
    His collection had diversity. He had a Japanese, British, German, Italian and an American made car.
    Most of the others like Sil, Paulie, Bobby etc mostly just had American cars
    Carmella’s Cayenne turbo, AJ’s E46 M3 and Gloria Trillo’s SL600 V12 were sick too.
    Btw, the Saab Melfi meets Tony in during season 1 was her son’s car. She mentions it when Tony asks her if the cigarettes in the car were her’s.
    Also, in season one carmella had a S124 E class wagon. It was shown in one scene only. She later switched to a S210 wagon which she had until season 5.

    I'll take Johnny Boy's Cadillac any day of the week, but honestly, Tony's Suburban has to get my vote for the best "car casting" in season 1. It was the perfect vehicle for a big imposing guy, who genuinely had a family and might need to haul around a bunch of people. The 4wd was probably useful in the winter, and the truck platform enforced those "hard working blue collar" roots tony was trying to portray as a head of a waste management firm. It's also just a great vehicle.
    And by the way, you remind me of this guy who used to make grilled cheese off the radiator, among other recipes. He seemed to like the Sopranos too ;) Really cool to see you branching out into other sopranos related subjects. This video was really well done and quite fun!

    I daily drive a 2000 Lexus LS400 and I absolutely Love it. I was hyped when I first saw Chris’s LS400 roll up on screen, especially when he put the chrome aftermarket wheels on it. His CLK and Range Rover were pretty sweet too. But the LS400 was definitely the coolest ride on the show.
    I also think it was an interesting choice to have a mob boss driving a Suburban. Surprised they didn’t give him an Escalade or Navigator since Mafia guys are so loyal to Cadillac and Lincoln luxury.

    The choice of cars is what brought me to the Sopranos. I’ve always had a fondness to this era of automobile, especially ones coming from brands like Mercedes, Cadillac and Lexus, so cars like the LS400 and SLS were such a treasure to see while they were brand new, almost like a Time Machine.
    I even owned a black LS400 for a short while just like Christopher’s and it filled me with just as much of a feeling of importance as I’m sure it did him. This video earned you a sub, and I can’t wait to see the rest.

    This was well written and thought out. Each car's reputation, build quality, and personality. Northstar's engine issues, Melfi's XJ6 being a lazy choice, etc. The Lexus LS400 oozes CEO energy. Chris wanting to project power, while being younger and not caring about buying an old person's luxury domestic makes sense in season 1. Perfect choice for him to drive, even though the LS is the complete opposite of his chaotic personality. If you do future seasons, cars to include: Chris' Pontiac Bonneville GXP, Phil's Lincoln LS, Johnny Sacks Maserati, hitman's Honda Del sol.

    Christopher's car always reminds me of the car you have to beat up in Street Fighter 2

    What an outstanding video! You have to turn this into a full time thing, in the same exact style as this. The level of knowlege on the show and the cars are both great, and the puns top it off. Can't wait to see more videos!

    Great video! You've earned a sub. My favorite car from the show is the Subaru 360 that's used in the dream sequences at the end of season 2.

    I really enjoyed this video. It was really well put together and edited, along with great fitting music throughout the video. Really looking forward to more car rankings in The Sopranos other seasons and hopefully many other great TV shows!!!
