I was NOT expecting Bob to whip out the Japanese on a whim like that lol
Man spent a while in Japan. He's a real person of culture. 🤌
He talked about going to highschool in Japan earlier in the video, he worked for Mazda IN JAPAN for years, and he's still a staple of the Japanese car scene. Did you really think he wasn't at least somewhat fluent 😂
I don't know why that's a surprise to anyone, he's clearly a smart man and immersed himself in Japanese culture.
Nihongo jouzu!
And knows the GTA 4 car reference lol Bob is great.
Me : "Gosh, can Bob be cooler ?"
Bob : *is fluent in japanese*...
You thought the guy designed cars for Mazda in Japan without speaking the language?
That was actually sick, did *not* see that coming! 😄
@@norwegiantechnolover He did say he went to high school in Japan, and was considered a traitor cuz he went to Mazda when his classmates went to Toyota.

Bob never ceases to amaze me, I hope I am that vibrant, accomplished and funny when I reach his age
Nothing but blessings and a long life Bob-Sama ❤
Please make Bob a regular guest. He brings such a fun atmosphere and I love his take on pretty much anything at this point so far.
Yea, I really do love Bob, it would be cool to see more on here more! ^^
Seeing a person that had such an impact in car industry making jokes is one if the coolest things on UA-cam.
You can tell Bob really likes convertibles based on his choice of hairstyle 😎 Love you, Bob
That was rude. Suck it, you twerp. Imma be bald in no time and was always luscious af. 2/3 guys by 35. 💁🏿♀️ that was legit hilarious though! 🤘🤘 #comedyisfairgame #becreative #liveafunlife and #dontbeanasshole #43ver
Do convertibles make you go bald 😂?
@@jamesmcgiffin8782 as someone who's been in a convertible, you either need to be balding or have your hair pulled back with ballerina levels of gel for that shit to stay out of your face so you can see
@@elliottlupin I actually have one too and yea that is true but headbands and glasses help
Guys, I thought the joke is that his hairstyle is a convertible... y'know, no top?
Just one word. Bob. Casually referencing vidya, building iconic cars, fluent in a VERY different language. Just Bob doing Bob things.
Bob went to school and grew up in japan and was hired by Mazda in japan (all info given in this video) ........... Honestly I would be more shocked if he didn't speak perfect Japanese
The bulldog walked so the cybertruck could stumble and fall down the stairs
LOL!
i just spit my tea all over my screen, bravo
does make you wonder if the cybertruck designer maybe saw a picture of the bulldog while high with elmo and thought "this what you want but a truck, right?'
GOOD ONE LMAO
and then get stuck in the kitty litter box...
I would love to see Bob's take on video game cars from GTA, Cyberpunk, etc...
This to the top
most gta cars are just knock-offs of existing cars (costs way less if you don't have to pay a license and kind of feels the satirical feel of the GTA worlds), so I don't think that one would be very interesting ... but there are some other cool video game cars with more original designs (like Cyberpunk that you mention), true! As a kid I really liked the Spyhunter car :)
Bob needs a own show. This guy is one of the most entertaining people on YT I've seen.
Bob is a savage treasure. It's been a hot minute since I have heard someone call something an NFW project, however I do use the phrase "The answer to a question that nobody asked" on an almost daily basis.
"There's no way you could really make a V16 right now"
Bugatti : hold my Tourbillon
Now tell me, how much does a bugatti cost
@@cristiancepeda_yt the Caddy would also be an expensive car, and Bugatti, you know it is expensive for what you get
@@cristiancepeda_yt The new one with the V16 is 4.6M$
@cristiancepeda_yt what's that got to do with anything?
@@cristiancepeda_yt How can regular blue collar folks ever afford a V16 if not built by an american brand!?!? /s
17:49 Jimmy: "There's no way you can really make a V16 right now"
Bugatti: "hold my beer"
I came looking for this comment
Bugatti has a W16, not V16
@@xahlier go google about new Bugatti Tourbillon
@@xahlierGoogle bugatti tourbillon
@@xahlier The new Bugatti Tourbillon has an naturally aspirated V16 engine qith electric power that make 1800hp
"There's really no way you can make a V16 right now..."
Bugatti/Cosworth: Hold my crankshaft.
It's wild that the Cadillac Sixteen made 1000hp... 20 years later Bugatti comes out with a V16 with all the advancements of 20 years.... Making 1000hp. I know, emissions, plus the Sixteen would likely have made less HP in production, but still....
@@deansmits006 the caddy was 13.6L V16. No doubt it was bored to 1000HP. Caddy has history with them. The Bugatti is N/A but still only 8.3L. One is a high strung 1000HP speed monster. One is a low slung, long comfortable car with probably the full 1000HP and likely a LOT more torque.
I wonder how much the at the time still in development Veyron was a motivation for this. They obviously went W16 with Turbos instead of V16 and naturally aspirated, but Volkswagen has been making a huge fuzz about it for years at that point.
@@Forke13 it was the Rimac CEO that when merged with Bugatti he wanted something different and more worthy of a Bugatti title. The Veyron was. The ones in between not really. The Tourbillion? Absolutely.
Jimmy: There’s no way you could build a V16 right now
Cosworth & Bugatti: Hold our beers
I suppose it makes complete sense but I didnt expect Bob to be so fluent in Japenese haha
I think one of the coolest things about the Cadillac Sixteen was that the engineers designed it to drop to eight cylinders under moderate load and four cylinder under light load. Power when you need it, fuel efficiency when you don't.
That didn’t work out with so many cars bro the Honda VCM was such an issue that most people opted for a workaround half the time the cylinders wouldn’t be working didn’t know what to do Cadillac also had this issue on old 80s 70s cars.
@@BayAreaMike99 And yet, this is something that newer Aston Martins, newer Dodge Charger/Challengers, and other have done successfully. Cylinder deactivation may have been a problem in the past, but those problems have been worked out because it was a technology worth spending that money developing.
Cylinder deactivation is rarely a good idea. You’re still dragging the dead weight of the pistons around. It works on ships where you deactivate entire engines, but it’s not really efficient to have sleeping pistons flopping around using up energy.
@@Ashfielder it's not that bad if the engine has more tolerance for less friction and lighter weight synthetic oils like the modern engines. It's still dead weight though. It's still great tech for fuel efficiency just like turbo charged with a eco tune. Compared to a supercharger with a eco tune. Ones obviously still better and worth developing money into.
Cadillac built engines with cylinder deactivation way back in the early 80's with the V8-6-4 engine. Obviously they quickly dropped the idea after the electronics were unreliable
Bob personality is exaclty like the personaly I see in a miata
"There's no way you could make a V16 today".......Bugatti. "Hold my birra"
I am SO glad yall got Bob Hall back!
~3minutes into the video and I've already laughed a couple times and snorted hard enough to hurt my nose lmao!
Is Jimmy a new permanent host since half of the Donut team has left?
Pretty sure he will be
THE RISE OF JIMMY 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Jimmy take over
Looks that way. He seems to have taken James' spot, so we're likely to see some other crew or possibly some new hires jump into Jerry's and Jobe's spots before too long.
@@Cavemanner what happened to James?!?
Bob's Japanese is on point. Wasn't expecting that.
6:04 rofl, that Bob scream
Bob is the fun uncle that takes you to the fair. He knows the rides that are worth standing in line for and the ones that are a waste. He has that rare combination of expertise and humor.
Bob screaming as he falls into a black hole has me in stitches
Somebody was saying on one of the other channels that Donut has too much editing and foley, but the editor did a perfect job here. I can't watch it twice or I'll probably die.
That NISMO jacket is fire
I would watch Bob watch paint dry. I love this guy!
Jimmy: No one can make a V16 today.
Bugatti has entered the chat.
I mean on a technicality they make a W16 so...
@@danielcarlucci5243 in their new car they literally used v16. Look for Bugatti Tourbillon
@@danielcarlucci5243 new one IS a V16!
@@danielcarlucci5243 Cadillac tried to do it in 2003, but Bugatti just came out with one, it was made by cosworth. Give it a look, it's pretty interesting. And remember it has to be a production model, not a one-off concept.
@@thespicemelange.1 Cadillacs has done the 16 since that I'm aware of the 1940's
Just the Master Class on how car design, production, and concept cars work was worth the price of admission. Bob’s charisma and the fun editing take it over the top.
RMS is by far the best thing to come out of Donut since the original “Up to Speed.” Y’all have nailed getting the perfect guests/cohosts that have the perfect balance of knowledge and on camera charisma.
"There's no way you can make a V16 now, there's no way"
Meanwhile, Bugatti:
I loved the Copperhead growing up. I still love it and would happily drive it. Also, the Stinger is absolutely adorable. I love it.
These ads will make sure I never switch to all state
I need more of Bob. Few people can be as incredibly funny, insightful, and savage as this guy.
Bob is a national.. heck, international treasure, and must be protected at all costs. More Bob please 🙏🏻
One concept car that I thought was rad and never got the attention it deserved was the Chevrolet Code 130R.
I am with you on that! I wanna rattle the cages at Donut so something can be done on the 130R and a few more that unfairly slipped between the cracks. Though as regards the 130R I have a pretty strong idea why it evaporated.
14:22 It looks like a really rounded and smooth Ford Escort
We need a Sandro and Bob episode, i know this ain't a comedy channel and it might not absolutely destroy the algorithm, but you got like 10 views of a 20-30 minute episode in its entirety. Absolutely love the realism yet absurd characters yall portray

Love bob being on the channel he's awesome definitely bring him on as much as he can be
These Bob episodes are really be best of this channel. Like, no offense to anybody, but he's just too cool.
I love Bob's total lack of a filter. Cool dude, says what he thinks.
I cant read HRSPRS without saying “ hursepursss “ 😂😂
Bob needs to be on the team full time
The Pontiac Stinger was a fave of mine back when it was shown, still is actually. The 4 cyl was actually an Iron Duke bored out to 3.0l and had the time I had Chevy Citation with the production 2.5l version that my mom had passed down to me when she bought an 88 Chevy Nova
I love paying for UA-cam Premium and then still having to watch ads (especially these😒)
Thanks, Donut!!

@@IvanCalderonstfu. Some of us ain't loaded with cash. Plus, why get UA-cam premium when channels load their videos with tons of ads. Revanced gives you SponsorBlock, which helps that.
@@IvanCalderon It's a free thing. How is using a free thing being a freeloader? Why are you so butthurt?
Bob is incredible. He's like if one of the Animaniacs was also a genius.
I'd love to see Bob judging some "obscure" concept cars, like the 2010 Rossin-Bertin Vorax.
Bob is a national treasure! Three cheers for Bob!
15:20 Bob straight up laying out why car companies fail at attracting younger buyer segments
Love watching Bob, get him on board with sandro against the girls😅
22:01 is when bob speaks japan if youre wondering
His design comments were on point. What a legend.
Bob is great! He's the reason I watch these videos
i am SHOCKED... that the Citroen Karin wasnt mentioned in this video, or the Chevrolet Express. both cars absolutely shaped what modern concept cars call 'luxurious', almost 40 years ahead of their time.
both cars really started the trend of all-glass roofs
\/ Button for knowing of The Copperhead + Gran Turismo reference
Any time bob is on anything from donut (podcast or video) I am always thoroughly entertained.
Ok this guy is a real showman lmao.
You can tell this guy is a blast to hang out with and that fun spirit definitely translated to the miata.
This channel has been killing it with the guest selection. More important to car history car guys please. And bike history too. We car guys like fast.
Why does the 2001 Dodge Super8 look like something you would mount in a server rack xD
It clearly served as some sort of springboard for the 2004 Dodge Magnum and 2005 Charger front ends.
This guy needs a show, like, yesterday
I wanna see the Chrysler Atantic in one of these concept videos. A straight 8, and a gorgeous exterior is the perfect car for this series of videos.
Jimmy: There's no way you can make a V16 right now. There's no way.
Mate Rimac: HOLD MY BEER 💀
14:24 That should've been the new Simca 1000 or Renault 8 if you ask me. I love that little thing.
Thankful you guys found Bob to be able to share his knowledge, wit and Japanese!
9:29 five dongs! HAHA xD
Bob is an automotive gem.
Bob reminds me of one of my favorite actors, Michael J Pollard. He's the tech guy in Tango and Cash.
Bob going to the japanese car industry farm-team highschool is beyond nuts
Sorry but I loved the Copperhead when it came out 😂 I still like it tbh. Granted I was also a kid in love with the Viper at the time so yeah
I was hoping to see the Lancia stratos zero here as wel, but these were great and his reactions are awesome!
14:41 if an Apple iMac was a car
Please don't end up like Hoonigan
Too late
I didn't know Wallace Shawn designed cars! "It's inconceivable!" - Vizzini
When was this recorded? Dude : "There's no way you can build a V16, right now..." Bugatti :
This is the first time I have seen and heard Bob... I love this guy, so sharp. :D
(Even if we do not agree on some points, but he is the professional for a reason. :) )
19:50 Pontiac Stinger - Sensational shape and colour! An everyday buggy! What a great idea! They should've done this instead of the pointless Solstice.
It just isn't the same without JERR BEAR and JOEBY
I completely forgot the 1999 Ford 21C existed until the two of you showed a picture of it
Bob is that grandpa all kids wanted to spend time with cuz he is cool AF. This guy would do good as a regular
LoL... Bugatti is literally making an1800hp V16 right now
You're sure it's a V? All the specs says W
1000. The other 800 is electric
Jimmy doesn't know shit
W16, not V16. V16 engines are a lot harder and more expensive to make because of the length.
could we have a 2nd part to this with maybe more european "failed" concept cars (maybe VW W16)
Spit out my drink when that super eight showed up 😂
tf? that demon looked great
Design aesthetic wise, the grill is too big and the headlights are awkwardly placed. It has some pretty good qualities but the questionable choices are what gives it uncanny valley reception.
All I see is a nissan z I. The front. And I like the z so I find this look fine. They immediately started praising the sf r and I think that looked like a small fish...😅
The front of the demon with a smaller grill mixed with the rest of the copperhead would have been a very good looking roadster I think
No it didnt💀🤡
Ya'll should pay Bob whatever the hell he wants to get him as a host on the main channel.
I get the feeling he might have known my uncle Paul. He was also regularly back and forth between Japan and Calipornia for a few decades after he left Ford.
Allstate is a horrible company.
Why
I love the bluntness of your comment.
It's so true though. I'm an insurance adjuster for AAA and I cannot stand seeing Allstate's name come up. They're the worst.
@@snaxandviolence
But why?
So glad we got another Bob video. He's a treasure.
"Bye pontiac, oh wait theyre already gone"
wow lol
I honestly loved the stinger concept! It was like a updated Meyers Manx and it was so fun looking and unique! I wish auto manufactureres would still try to do stuff like that, is all so boring now.
1. How did you guys de-age and make Stephen Graham American?!
2. Bob is incredibly cool. Intelligent, witty, kind, quirky old man. I'd absolutely kill to have a couple of beers with him!
Not sure if Jimmy is quite ready to be a host yet… Bob on the other hand has been ready his entire life. What a g
I actually really liked Dodge's late 90s/early 2000s design language, it was really unique for better or worse. Took a lot of cues from that bubbly style of design that was all the rage but tried to sharpen it up and make it look aggressive.
9:30 Jimmy could totally be Bob's grandson. 😂
Well the ending threw me through a loop. wasn't expecting that.
"I'm 116 years old" so out of pocket 😂
oh please keep bringing this man back hes awesome
11:04 - My first thought about the Demon is that it kind of looked like a Honda S2000, at least from some of the angles presented.
I had a hot wheel super 8 and always wondered as a kid why I never seen them in the road they looked dope to me as a kid lol
Donut needs to do more stuff like this than showing us stuff they can buy off of Wish. Lol
Here's an idea: Not having obnoxious, intrusive mouse-clicking sound effects EVERY SINGLE TIME you show a photograph.
Look into that.
You guys missed an opportunity here. Holden concept cars.
Have a look at the Holden Efijy, Torana GTR-X and the Hurricane.
