    Your reviews provide valuable little details that I haven't seen anyone else bother with. It's as if you were the only reviewer who didn't have the manufacturer breathing down their neck. Take that as a huge compliment.

      Thanks!’ It’s because I’m not a real journalist, I have a background as a technician so I just call it how it is. I’m terrible with words, but I have zero brand bias and truly feel all companies offer strong points and week points in their vehicles. I also don’t instantly gravitate towards exotics cars as being the “best”.

    On your offroad footage, have you considered adding a wifi-camera to stream to say a small ipad with it mounted with a vantage of the undercarriage as you're going up/down the testing hills? Yea it'd even more hardware to take with you, and I'm sure you love spending time in the AZ heat setting up cameras all over your test vehicles, but hey, you're Sarah. Making rad content is kinda what you do! ;) The logitech Mevo might be a useable option for this. It'd also make for a live spotter view to prevent undercarriage scrape on your press cars. Rad content, as always!

I'm surprised it's only a 3 liter, but just thrilled it's NOT another GD V6. (Toyota take some notes V* everything, you're not EVing)
    I'm a fan of the Electric Supercharger, not so much the turbo. Pick a boost system, and make it work. Superchargers work, and work, and work. (Ask GM)
    Nice job Sarah.
