Back in the garage this week, and I’ve had some time to reflect on the future of sports cars. With stricter emissions standards looming large, brands are finding creative ways to keep that visceral driving experience alive. Porsche’s new hybrid systems offer insane acceleration and balance, while McLaren’s dabbling in lightweight EVs that handle like scalpel-sharp track weapons. The question is: Will enthusiasts embrace these new technologies, or cling to the roar of traditional combustion engines? I’ll dive deep into the numbers and the emotions behind these moves in my next analysis video. Don’t miss it, guys—this conversation is the future of our passion.

The defense is that it erodes trust. If reliable people condone saying one thing while doing another, then it gives bad actors an excuse to do it more brazenly. Similar tactics include greenwashing, ESG, or the use of charitable donations to offset e.g. poor working conditions.

One meta belief I have, is that I think "on the face pursuing idealistic objective A, but actually being tilted toward selfish objective B" is better than "openly pursuing objective B". Many seem to believe the opposite, typically saying something like "at least the latter is honest". I feel like what this misses, is that maintaining the face of pursuing idealistic objective A, and using A to coordinate a large coalition, is a pretty big speed bump against attempts to pursue B too brazenly. When "the mask comes off", things actually become much worse, and strategies that pursue B at high costs to other values (including A, and also often general human decency) become unlocked. Are there any good arguments against this intuition I have? (Whether generalized, or about specific situations)

Gentlemen, you’ve asked me countless times: “What’s the best car for harsh winters?” Let’s talk options. If you’re dealing with heavy snowfall and icy roads, look at models like the Subaru Outback or Volvo XC60. Both offer all-wheel drive and advanced stability systems that keep you planted when conditions get hairy. But don’t overlook something like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid—you get efficiency, reliability, and enough ground clearance to tackle snowbanks without sweating. In my next video, I’ll break down the top picks for challenging climates, discussing performance, maintenance, and overall cost of ownership.

What’s up, guys—Alexey checking in from a windy road along the Swiss Alps. I’ve been putting the new Audi RS Q8 through its paces, and it’s a serious contender if you’re looking for something that merges family-friendly comfort with track-day exhilaration. The torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering give this SUV a nimbleness you wouldn’t expect from something so spacious. And the cabin? Pure Audi luxury, with tech that makes you feel like you’re sitting in mission control. If you’ve been hunting for the ultimate “do-it-all” vehicle, my upcoming test drive video is a must-watch.

Morning from Tokyo, everyone! I’m here checking out the latest concept EVs at the Tokyo Motor Show. Let me tell you: the industry’s shift toward electric platforms is no half-hearted effort. Brands like Lexus and Infiniti are showcasing prototypes that blend futuristic styling with serious performance credentials. These aren’t just city runabouts; we’re talking 0–60 times that put some V8s to shame, all while offering cutting-edge driver-assist features and ultra-fast charging capabilities. I’ll break down the most promising models and explain what they mean for the EV market in my upcoming segment. Stay tuned for a closer look at the next generation of clean performance.

Hey guys, Alexey here, reporting from the sun-scorched roads of southern Spain. I’ve just wrapped up a two-day test drive of the brand-new 2025 BMW M5 and I’m still buzzing. This beast sports an upgraded twin-turbo V8 that delivers a punchy 620 horsepower straight to all four wheels. What really caught my attention, though, was the refined adaptive suspension. It strikes a nearly perfect balance between track-ready stiffness and everyday comfort. Honestly, it feels like BMW poured everything they know about performance sedans into this car. Stay tuned for my in-depth video review—this one’s gonna raise some eyebrows.
