I love the new Countach but every word you said is absolutely right. The new Countach looks cool but not as cool as the older one. There was no car as much crazy as the old Countach, even today! If I want a crazy looking car, I can go for the Apollo IE. It costs $2.6 million and there are only 10 of those (rarer than the new Countach and still cheaper). Lambo should tweak the Terzo Millenio concept a little bit, forget about safety standards because no one will ever care about it, because it's so crazy that it's not even road legal! Make it a track only! Put a 6.5L NA V12 in it, produce 50 of those (50th anniversary of Countach) and sell them for $10 million each! That would be the real modern Countach!
How about the Apollo EVO? That must be the wildest car in production today. I've seen it IRL and it overshadowed the La Voiture Noire parked next to it.
7:01 Thank you, no one cares if you EV makes a thousand horse power and does 0-60 in sub zero seconds, all I care about is if it provides a good time and makes me smile
For anybody who doesn't know what the three unnamed cars are, they are the following: VW Beetle (2000's relaunched version) Holden ZB Commodore, 4 cylinder engine and FWD the new Acura/Honda Integra
@@YupThisIsFico The Opel/Vauxhal Insignia A was sold as Holden Insignia but they changed it to Holden Commodore with the Insignia B (they also weren't produced in Australia anymore, but in Germany). No wonder the Holden brand was canned in 2021.
@GroundhogOZ Holden was dead long before that happened. And as much as Australians want to complain about it, THEY are the reason why. You don't get to start buying SUVs and crossovers then complain that a company that primarily makes sedans isn't selling well.
@Ralcolf Wolfcoon Ah yes because it was just the spitting image of an old Dodge Dart though… At least the Neon was a fwd 4cylinder shitbox, just like the new “dart” was.
The Alfa Romeo Spider/gtv was absolutely stunning and very good to drive. Shame it was forward wheel drive and not rear wheel drive. Otherwise a gorgeous car.
Yeah but... Not really Spider-ish. The type 916 could never replace the original one in my heart. Instead, I've always considered that the Spider's true heir at that moment was actually... the FIAT Barchetta.
I like the 8 series too, I think it’s a nice successor to the 6 series and it makes sense that they’d want to have a car in their line up that could fulfill the purpose the 6 series did.
@@TopCarsTV that would make a bit of sense but I guess maybe they did because they thought paying homage to the 8 series would boost its sales a worthwhile amount
I was very excited about the new Lamborghini countach and when I saw it I could appreciate what they were trying to do and how to carry on a lot of the design cues for it. But I truly believe that they should have and I still hope that they still in the future produce a super aero kit for it
The 8 Series Gran Coupe is my favourite-looking BMW to date, so I personally appreciate that it has been made to replace the 6 Series. I also really like the look of the new Gran Turismo, it’s characterful like the old one, but in its own way. Most importantly, it’s actually new. The old one will always be a timeless classic, but if the new one came out looking nearly identical, I won’t give it a second look, no matter how pretty it is.
As much as I usually agree with your opinion, I can't say the same about your opinion on the 8 series. The G15 8 series still looks very special on the outside. Especially in black it looks like something you don't wanna mess with. As from the performance point of view? It's absolutely doing the right thing. BMWs especially M cars are generally known for making a lot more power than claimed (hell, just look at the M5 CS that can almost keep up with a new 911 Turbo in a drag race). And even if the E31 came out with an M8 variant that made 700 horsepower, it still would have taken a while to take this thing off the line. That's just how high performance luxury cars worked back in the days. Power isn't everything.
Power isn't everything, but if you are bringing back the Big 8, and as a halo car not than less, then it needs to be the biggest, meanest beast in their lineup. Instead, M5 CS and XM tower above it
@@TopCarsTV Yeah, it's a weird decision considering its rival GT63 is receiving power bumps of over 800 horses. Maybe they'll get to it this year unless they decide to hybridize everything as well. Only time can really tell.
@@GJimenez94 Yes and no. If I remember correctly the E31 8 series was fully integrated in the luxury segment and only shared parts with the 7 series. The new 8 series is a weird inbetweener: not exactly 7 series luxury but better than 5 series. Also the same sporry engine unlike the 7. It would have been better if they just kept the 6 honestly.
Comparing the new Maserati power being a JACK HAMMER VS the old Maserati sounds like listening to PAVAROTTI = Brilliant comparison!!!! Well placed FUN editing gives me many opportunities to laugh and makes this video on a 1-10 scale an 11!!!
I think in the case of M8 , they're trying to differentiate it from the M5. M5 & M6 sounds so closer than M5 & M8. Yes everyone knows that the new 8 series is basically 6 ser with +10K price tag. btw i love the countach LPi800 i think it's probably the most beautiful looking iteration of Aventador.
I agree with everything listed except the Countach and M8. The Countach to me represents the best aspects of Lamborghini while standing out visually amongst the uninteresting roster of modern super and hypercars. And unlike it's siblings (Sian and SVJ) it actually looks good and doesn't give me brain hemorrhaging by just catching a fleeting glimpse. It's a faithful hommage to the original, like the 2005 Ford GT or the upcoming 3.0 CSL. As for the M8, while it might not be the most impressive BMW ever made, it's arguably the most beautiful (although the M1 Procar and M5 CS are contenders as well). While I understand that many would have wished for BMW to go all bonkers with a V12 and one trillion hp, that simply wouldn't suit the car at hand and not BMWs current image (well their image before stuff like the iX, G80 M3 or the new 7-Series lol). It's a tasteful GT with a strong powertrain that helps it to keep up with the fierce competition in form of the RS7 and GT63 as well as the Bentley Continental GT and even the Ferrari Roma. Alone the fact that the M8 competes with a Bentley and a Ferrari is definitely impressive and is in line with what you said about the first M8. Is it my favorite car? Definitely not, but it's a very competent, mature and capable car and I'm always pleased when I see one. Although funnily enough most M8s I see are Gran Coupés, I guess four doors are just better for most customers (although I would just take an M5 lol) But that aside, I agree with the rest of the list, although I didn't even know the Dodge Dart was a thing to begin with.
@@Fred_the_1996 The new Countach a well-made homage in my opinion. If you want the real deal - buy the real deal. I also like the New Miura Concept from 2006. It doesn't take anything away from these cars these special models are reffering. As I like good car design, I'd rather have one more of these cars then less. I (and also you, I guess) can never afford one of these dream cars, so it doesn't really matter. There is only a bunch of cars made from the new Countach (sold out), the new Miura is still only a concept.
I've driven the 8 Series and its predecessor (640d M Convertible and M6 Convertible). I had much more fun with the new 8 series - and that was (in my case) only a well equipped 840d M convertible. It doesn't need overwhelming power - the more you can push it. Handling was great, luxury as well. Plus: Low fuel consumption - it's a Diesel. I liked the looks of the 8 series concept car, I saw it in person. But the production car is also not bad in my opinion. The name has to be the biggest problem (I've also pointed it out), but the 8 series is the better 6 series. It has nothing really in common with the E31. Just deal with it, that were the old days when BMW just wanted to make the best car in the world.
@@Skrenja If you want modern safety and Infotainment features, more power, better reliability and so on... why the real deal? Don't get me wrong, I like old cars. But they have some disadvantage in many ways. The new Countach isn't bad looking, it just resembles the old car. That's what an homage is all about.
The only one i disagreed was the Alfa. I personally think it looks really good, but not as good as the concept, so i get your point. As for the rest, the biggest disapointment of the cars you showed is the Maserati Gran Turismo. It doesn't look awful ir ugly by any standard, but it's not "bite-the-back-of-your-hand" beautiful as the previous one. The lost the agression, the sex appeal, and i dare say: from most of the angles, it looks fat. It's not obese, but it's not skinny either. Those MC20 headlights simply don't fit with the front end. And i'm not even talking about the electric Folglore version. Because it's electric, it doesn't need an engine, and because it doesn't need an engine, it doesn't need a cooling system. Still, that's no reason for making the front bumper look absolutely saggy and melted.
Porsche 911 has been dead for decades, the corpse won't stay in the ground. How many of their own cars did they nerf to keep it at the top going all the way back to the 944 and 928?
Tbh i really agree with you i also think that they could do something more special instead of making an aventador with bodykit and a different name. Also think that dart used to be pretty badass but they decided to make it a shitbox. And it's a little sad that noone didn't care about the newer gto but atleast it was a sleeper.
You're completely right about the Maybach one. I saw one when I was out to get groceries one time and I only realized what it was by the lettering on the back.
I kinda like the pontiac gto '04,but the name doesn't deserve on the car.They should've made a new name for it back then.The gto have to put on hiatus for upcoming retrostyle muscle,but what are the odds of that happening?i miss the holden monaro/gto.
While all those new Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs have all that fine and classical looks... Man, I miss those 90s to early 00s forms. All those 4th gens of Mustang, Camaro, etc. Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of 2002 is still one of my favourite cars, paired with Camaro (thanks to NFS High Stakes), Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R looks nuts, and GTO for me was quite iconic (thanks to NFS MW). They have their charm, despite they don't look as brick.
I agree for the BMW 8 series, they should have just let the 6 series name and make an 8 series as a competitor for the Aston db11 and Maserati Granturismo... speaking of which, i agree on that as well, and same for the Dodge Dart and for the missed opportunity of a new Alfa Duetto (it would have been glorious with the 4c engine...). Regarding the Countach i think it looks gorgeous, even if the Syàn which is based on looks even more special (more "countachy" if you want), maybe it was just better to complement the name as "Countach Tributo" just to clarify that it was just a limited production model meant as a tribute of the original, instead of being a successor (which is not, that was the Diablo at the time). Hell, Bugatti even did the same thing with the Centodieci. I do not agree for the GTO, the Beetle and the Integra, The GTO was still a cool car and while being a bit blandish that was the only problem, not that it didn't look retro enough... it could have been just a little more "decise" looking to compliment it's roar while remaining modern looking. The New Beetle was a cool tribute in my opinion, it looked modern enough while remembering the idea of the original, even if in my opinion it could have been better if slighty smaller or more "coupe like" to further differentiate it from the Golf from a driving standpoint. And please stop glorifing the old Integra like a rare supercar of some sort, the Integra was super cool but it was just a slightly sportier, more upmarket version of the Civic, and that's exactly what the new model is. The Type-S version isn't even out and people keep complaining that it looks too normal (those people probably never saw the original base Integra models apparently...) or even worse, that it doesn't look like a 20+ year old model... Imho it looks exactly how a more upmarket, Acura branded version of the Civic should look like... Did you expected a monster coupe unique model kind of like a lower tier NSX that people wouldn't even buy? That's not what an Integra is. It's fine if you don't like the new looks but don't just assume that that's not how the Integra should be.
The Countach at 10:22 is the production car which in my opinion resembles the most with Lancia Stratos Zero HF, one of the most beautiful and futuristic cars ever.
Honestly I know the new Lamborghini countach is amazing but all it should be not exist at all because I much prefer the original then the new one that already made in the first place
The new GTO wasn’t “based” on the Monaro it WAS a Monaro. The only difference is the front bumper/grill and the name. And the styling was the exact same as the Holden commodores of the time the only difference being the GTO/Monaro was a 2 door. So it never had retro styling simply because the Monaro wasn’t designed to look retro it was designed as a 2 door commodore and had the old Monaro name thrown on it. And was then shipped off over to the states as the GTO and pommy land and badged as a Vauxhall. So yeah it “failed” as a GTO because it was never intended to be one in the first place. It was a 2 door commodore whose name was a throw back to the old Monaro’s of the late 60’s and the 70’s. So yeah not the cars fault as much as it was GM’s lazily slapping the GTO name on an Aussie car.
Car companies don't prosper by building cars that appeal to enthusiasts; they prosper by building jacked-up minivans. Porsche almost went bankrupt when they just sold sports cars. These days I can't tell one Subaru from another but sales have soared in the last ten years.
I actually like the 8 series even though it is more of a 6 series they probably used the name 8 series just for the marketing and the electric quatroporte is not the only electric car wich should be on this list in my opinion the electric demon it now has 4 wheel drive for performance even though it wasn’t a performance car at all and engine noises wich I think is stupid for that car because it wil never sound as good as the petrol one
Bro!! I was making Tim Allen caveman noises the whole time I was watching this vid! I especially appreciated your anti-EV bash. I found it very refreshing. especially when every other care channel is just wetting their pants over EVs, which is just sooo nauseating. your earned my subscription today. Keep it up!
A car that did get it right was the S2000. A more than fitting tribute to the Honda S cars of the 1960s. I don’t know why that popped into my head, but that would be a good start to a video of manufacturers who got it right.
The real 840 is a dream car, I dont like most BMWs but the 840 is stunning. The GTO shouldn't have been called a GTO, personally I love it, as the monaro or the vxr8, or the gto, its a muscle sleeper because it doesn't look like it's about to tear your face off, but it will. Great vid Stype
I was waiting for a video like this. Prime example is the Countach. The new car doesn't deserve the name Countach.....it's just an Aventador with a bodykit
Damn, Alpha had an opportunity. Talk about pissing away your chance. They had a winning lottery ticket, consisting of numbers someone else provided. All they had to do was buy it and cash it in.
I will defend the 04-06 GTO with everything. It was an amazing car. Sure, it didn't look retro, but it was amazing. Heck it had the 6.0. It was an absolute monster
The Spider was bold in its design you either loved or hated it. And many loved it and if you see one driving now (a rarity) they are one of a kind. A nice V6, but it did not drive well in a sporty way. In that sense it was like the old one.
Alfa Romeo is spelt with an “f” rather than a “p” I had the GTV in Australia both the 2 litre and V6. They were popular cars pretty much everywhere in the world except the US where they were not sold. The spider version I think looked great especially in V6 form which the original Spider never had. Sure it was front wheel drive but it was still a very nice car.
Dude, you said the next vid would be about cars with small engines, but damn this one slaps. My god does that Alfa Spider look ugly. I really like the return of the Countach, bit i do agree with what you said about it in the top 50 most expensive cars ever sold vid, about how it is a mild hybrid aventador, but I love the aventador so thats why I am fine with it.
I was definitely expecting the Chevy Nova. Not only was its name fairly commonly misinterpreted in other languages, but after the gas crisis, the new version was basically a rebadged Corolla
I agree with every car except the Maserati, sure the new one is electric which is annoying but in my opinion it looks better than the original, now if they stuck the same V8 in the new model that would be a class car, all the sound and all the looks 👌
Man I was ready to come after you idk call you names or something 🤣 but after the video. I have to agree although I do like the countach. The others I can see your point. Especially the Dart. I was waiting for a terrible list of random cars but you picked out some great one that should have stayed dead. Lol
6.0L GTO is great. I'm glad Pontiac got a chance to bring that and the G8 to the US before they died - at least they had a couple of cool models in their twilight years
The thing about the countach is that when it first came out there was no other car looking like that now how many aventador are out by now how many huracan are out by now its just more of the same just with a diffrent name
You left out the Chevrolet Impala. It went from high-performance sedan to mundane company car in 2000 that you don’t stand out in. It’s never a good sign when a majority of your car’s production (2006-13 Impala) goes to rental fleets and company car fleets.

And i'm not even talking about the electric Folglore version. Because it's electric, it doesn't need an engine, and because it doesn't need an engine, it doesn't need a cooling system. Still, that's no reason for making the front bumper look absolutely saggy and melted.
Another car (name) that should’ve stayed dead is the Opel Manta. „Samll, light 2D Sports Coupé? Naaah Lets slap the name on a 4D full electric SUV!“
Porsche 911 has been dead for decades, the corpse won't stay in the ground. How many of their own cars did they nerf to keep it at the top going all the way back to the 944 and 928?
911 dead? ok man
Your lists are 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up 👍🏽
Rapidly becoming my favourite automotive entertainment channel. Keep up the great work!
the m8 is brilliant but they should've called it m6... the name itself changes a lot the way you look at the car
5:22 That is most genuine response ever after seeing that eyes bleeder
A 99% with you.... That Alfa from the 90's looks sooo good to be true...
The second of the three honourable mentions is a ZB Commodore, which was based on an Opel Insignia and won the 2021 and 2022 Supercars Championship
i only knew it as a Opel Insignia which is why i was majorly confused as its a good car
@@rowanaldridge4662 yeah and its just a rebadged German made Opel, i get that
@@rowanaldridge4662 exactly great car dont get me wrong, its one of my "dream" cars in the future but i get that its not a Aussie icon at all
@@rowanaldridge4662 what do you mean
@@rowanaldridge4662 yes what i mean is as an Opel, German Budget Luxury Car its great but not pretending to be a Australian classic
Trying To Pass off The Aventador as a Countach LOL
Especially considering it’s 10x the price
Tbh i really agree with you i also think that they could do something more special instead of making an aventador with bodykit and a different name. Also think that dart used to be pretty badass but they decided to make it a shitbox. And it's a little sad that noone didn't care about the newer gto but atleast it was a sleeper.
You're completely right about the Maybach one. I saw one when I was out to get groceries one time and I only realized what it was by the lettering on the back.
0:35 Mike Tyson: THERIOUTHLY!! 😂😂
THERIOUTHLY Stype is a legend. 😝😜
Interesting choices, in my opinion the honda nsx should‘ve been included too
Eclipse
Trailblazer
I kinda like the pontiac gto '04,but the name doesn't deserve on the car.They should've made a new name for it back then.The gto have to put on hiatus for upcoming retrostyle muscle,but what are the odds of that happening?i miss the holden monaro/gto.
They should've put some blockier body on it and it would've been fine
@@TopCarsTV yeah,they should've.
While all those new Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs have all that fine and classical looks...
Man, I miss those 90s to early 00s forms. All those 4th gens of Mustang, Camaro, etc. Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of 2002 is still one of my favourite cars, paired with Camaro (thanks to NFS High Stakes), Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R looks nuts, and GTO for me was quite iconic (thanks to NFS MW). They have their charm, despite they don't look as brick.
I agree for the BMW 8 series, they should have just let the 6 series name and make an 8 series as a competitor for the Aston db11 and Maserati Granturismo... speaking of which, i agree on that as well, and same for the Dodge Dart and for the missed opportunity of a new Alfa Duetto (it would have been glorious with the 4c engine...).
Regarding the Countach i think it looks gorgeous, even if the Syàn which is based on looks even more special (more "countachy" if you want), maybe it was just better to complement the name as "Countach Tributo" just to clarify that it was just a limited production model meant as a tribute of the original, instead of being a successor (which is not, that was the Diablo at the time). Hell, Bugatti even did the same thing with the Centodieci.
I do not agree for the GTO, the Beetle and the Integra, The GTO was still a cool car and while being a bit blandish that was the only problem, not that it didn't look retro enough... it could have been just a little more "decise" looking to compliment it's roar while remaining modern looking.
The New Beetle was a cool tribute in my opinion, it looked modern enough while remembering the idea of the original, even if in my opinion it could have been better if slighty smaller or more "coupe like" to further differentiate it from the Golf from a driving standpoint.
And please stop glorifing the old Integra like a rare supercar of some sort, the Integra was super cool but it was just a slightly sportier, more upmarket version of the Civic, and that's exactly what the new model is. The Type-S version isn't even out and people keep complaining that it looks too normal (those people probably never saw the original base Integra models apparently...) or even worse, that it doesn't look like a 20+ year old model... Imho it looks exactly how a more upmarket, Acura branded version of the Civic should look like... Did you expected a monster coupe unique model kind of like a lower tier NSX that people wouldn't even buy? That's not what an Integra is. It's fine if you don't like the new looks but don't just assume that that's not how the Integra should be.
The Countach at 10:22 is the production car which in my opinion resembles the most with Lancia Stratos Zero HF, one of the most beautiful and futuristic cars ever.
Honorable mentions
1. Volkswagon New beetle
2.Holden Commodore
3.Acura ILX
I know my cars when I see one
If you knew your cars, then you'd know it was the Acura INTEGRA.
Thank you for the Holden Commodore honourable mention. That should have never come back
When you're such a stype fan you like before watching 😂😂❤️
1. VW New Beetle
2. Vauxhall/Opel Insignia
3. Acura Integra
Yessss new original vid 👍 something to get me thrue my test week
1970 Dart Swinger 340 4/m….love that car. I paid $1200 for mine in “72. Now, 50k.
The gran turismo is tragic. The prettiest car ever fucked up.
1. VW Beetle
2. Buick Regal
3. Acura Integra
Honestly I know the new Lamborghini countach is amazing but all it should be not exist at all because I much prefer the original then the new one that already made in the first place
Absolutely ! Those Maserati were the most beautiful thing on wheels !!!!!
The new Maserati looks a bit like a Karma
If they had have promoted the monaro properly it would have been the bomb... the holden commodore with the LS series of motors is brilliant.
The new GTO wasn’t “based” on the Monaro it WAS a Monaro. The only difference is the front bumper/grill and the name.
And the styling was the exact same as the Holden commodores of the time the only difference being the GTO/Monaro was a 2 door.
So it never had retro styling simply because the Monaro wasn’t designed to look retro it was designed as a 2 door commodore and had the old Monaro name thrown on it. And was then shipped off over to the states as the GTO and pommy land and badged as a Vauxhall.
So yeah it “failed” as a GTO because it was never intended to be one in the first place. It was a 2 door commodore whose name was a throw back to the old Monaro’s of the late 60’s and the 70’s.
So yeah not the cars fault as much as it was GM’s lazily slapping the GTO name on an Aussie car.
The car wass too good for Americans
Car companies don't prosper by building cars that appeal to enthusiasts; they prosper by building jacked-up minivans. Porsche almost went bankrupt when they just sold sports cars. These days I can't tell one Subaru from another but sales have soared in the last ten years.
Bring back the old transition
That whould be nice
Alfa Romeo's new Spider and gtv are awesome and now very collectable!😅 Up in value
Lacia delta should definately be up there too
I mostly agree but countach is a beautiful model and it's sole purpose of revival is to bring it's looks and design back to life
I actually like the 8 series even though it is more of a 6 series they probably used the name 8 series just for the marketing and the electric quatroporte is not the only electric car wich should be on this list in my opinion the electric demon it now has 4 wheel drive for performance even though it wasn’t a performance car at all and engine noises wich I think is stupid for that car because it wil never sound as good as the petrol one
You WILD for that Caitlin Joke!!!! I am in rigor mortis now.
Honorably mentioned cars:
1. Volkswagen New Beetle
2. Holden Commodore (ZB)
3. Acura Integra (DE4)
3/3 good job!
@NyxVeliona because it's a rebadged Civic. Also, it's ugly
@@TopCarsTV wasnt that what the integra always was, a more premium civic
@top cars I am a fan of your humor and the visual references added to your videos.
Thanks man
@@TopCarsTV You are most welcome, sir!
That countach is my favorite Lamborghini bro
it should be called Diablo because they are both similar shape
1. VW beetle?
2. Buick idk
3. Acura integra
yes yes,kinda yes
Bro!! I was making Tim Allen caveman noises the whole time I was watching this vid! I especially appreciated your anti-EV bash. I found it very refreshing. especially when every other care channel is just wetting their pants over EVs, which is just sooo nauseating. your earned my subscription today. Keep it up!
I'm glad you liked it 👍
A car that did get it right was the S2000. A more than fitting tribute to the Honda S cars of the 1960s. I don’t know why that popped into my head, but that would be a good start to a video of manufacturers who got it right.
The real 840 is a dream car, I dont like most BMWs but the 840 is stunning. The GTO shouldn't have been called a GTO, personally I love it, as the monaro or the vxr8, or the gto, its a muscle sleeper because it doesn't look like it's about to tear your face off, but it will. Great vid Stype
840 and 850 both are beautiful mean cars
5:18: the music, the editing, the man shouting, so perfect ahahahahahah 🤣🤩👍
I was waiting for a video like this. Prime example is the Countach. The new car doesn't deserve the name Countach.....it's just an Aventador with a bodykit
Damn, Alpha had an opportunity. Talk about pissing away your chance.
They had a winning lottery ticket, consisting of numbers someone else provided. All they had to do was buy it and cash it in.
I agree with most except three. The dart, gto, and the bug.
Mitsubishi eclipse. Legendary compact brought back as a E-SUV
when the new 8 series came out i taught the same thing stype.u are right 🤟🏾
I will defend the 04-06 GTO with everything. It was an amazing car. Sure, it didn't look retro, but it was amazing. Heck it had the 6.0. It was an absolute monster
The Spider was bold in its design you either loved or hated it. And many loved it and if you see one driving now (a rarity) they are one of a kind. A nice V6, but it did not drive well in a sporty way. In that sense it was like the old one.
Have to disagree on Maybach -- I can spot those a mile away, they're that distinct. I remember the first time seeing one in NYC.
You are right on all counts!
VW beetle Buick regal Acura integra. I think at least. Cool vid.
another amazing video. keep em coming guys.
Alfa Romeo is spelt with an “f” rather than a “p”
I had the GTV in Australia both the 2 litre and V6. They were popular cars pretty much everywhere in the world except the US where they were not sold.
The spider version I think looked great especially in V6 form which the original Spider never had. Sure it was front wheel drive but it was still a very nice car.
Superb - thank you for a video ^_^
Totally agree, seeing countach just pissed me off. it's the most disgusting cash grab I've ever seen.
you should put more videos often ..i love watching them
Dude, you said the next vid would be about cars with small engines, but damn this one slaps. My god does that Alfa Spider look ugly. I really like the return of the Countach, bit i do agree with what you said about it in the top 50 most expensive cars ever sold vid, about how it is a mild hybrid aventador, but I love the aventador so thats why I am fine with it.
That vid is still in production. Some issues arose so it's delayed a bit
@@TopCarsTV understandable, which is why im still happy you can ,make content for us
“F electrification”…. With that alone you got my subscription
Lol, the evil within 2 refrence was on point 😂
I was definitely expecting the Chevy Nova. Not only was its name fairly commonly misinterpreted in other languages, but after the gas crisis, the new version was basically a rebadged Corolla
I agree with every car except the Maserati, sure the new one is electric which is annoying but in my opinion it looks better than the original, now if they stuck the same V8 in the new model that would be a class car, all the sound and all the looks 👌
The only company that milked the hell out of it's name and managed to do it without failing is Pagani Zonda.
Last laugh on the New Beetle, though. Sure, it's awful, but it's been a consistent seller and what it's done in mild PR for 20+ years is invaluable.
Man I was ready to come after you idk call you names or something 🤣 but after the video. I have to agree although I do like the countach. The others I can see your point. Especially the Dart. I was waiting for a terrible list of random cars but you picked out some great one that should have stayed dead. Lol
6.0L GTO is great. I'm glad Pontiac got a chance to bring that and the G8 to the US before they died - at least they had a couple of cool models in their twilight years
This video went from a BMW M8 to a Dodge Fiat almost 30 decades later, in just two minutes.
The thing about the countach is that when it first came out there was no other car looking like that now how many aventador are out by now how many huracan are out by now its just more of the same just with a diffrent name
Great video dude
Thanks dood!
Yeah the new countach is a beautiful car, but yeah you’re right there is something off about it. Haven’t really thought about it.
Bro, your hilarious ! Keep up the good work
You left out the Chevrolet Impala. It went from high-performance sedan to mundane company car in 2000 that you don’t stand out in. It’s never a good sign when a majority of your car’s production (2006-13 Impala) goes to rental fleets and company car fleets.
