  • I would love these videos sooooo much more if the hosts weren't so pretentious. I love how thorough the reviews are but at 6:13 he publicizes his personal FICO score... really?! These guys are in a elitist circle jerk.
  • @Was-here2
    Perfect timing. I was just cross shopping these with early 2000 crown vics.

    I really don't understand how some channels that are way less knowledgeable about cars, its industry and trends, and have worse production quality have million subscribers yet you struggle to break half of that.. I feel like you truly bring the best car content on YouTube alongside with the German Autogefuhel or however they're spelled. Thank you for your dedication, I'll continue to share and talk about your channel with the people I know.

    The interior was a victim of alcanterrorism.
  • @chriscowan6630
    The smile on Mark’s face during the acceleration run says it all...
  • @nazart7830
    This channel clearly is for intelligent people, which shows on the subscriber count there aren't many brilliant people on the internet

    Dear Mark and Jack; As someone who was struggling with somehow similar difficulties in my field, I guarantee you'll have one of the most successful auto channels in the near future, just keep the good job. Also I wanted you to know I am very happy that you didn't go down the road of cheap (and easy) tricks to gather some views and I really appreciate your work and wish you the best... Really... :)

    Testing Aston Martin in a middle of corn fields gives me very Smokey and the bandits meets James Bond vibes. My name ish Bond, Jamesh Bond missh Daisy.
  • I’m a huge Porsche fan but no one builds a more beautiful car then Aston Martin. No one. And that exhaust makes my naughty parts tingle.
  • @RhettShull
    The production value and quality of these reviews is best on YouTube by far. You guys are killing it.
  • @Nikephorus
    The most telling thing about this review is how you were both smiling a few seconds into the driving impressions.
  • @BeanieNinjay0
    Their configurator looks like the configurator menu on a need for speed game.
  • Quite possibly the coolest rear end I've ever seen on an Aston. Also, using Dalton as the example of James Bond? This channel never ceases to impress.
  • @dannoyes4493
    In a world of 4,000 lb sports cars, this is the one I'd actually consider getting. Fabulous car. (with the manual, of course!) BTW , this is without question, the finest presentation of an Aston Vantage out there. Leave it to SavageGeese to explain the car, the philosophy, and what sets Aston Martin head and shoulders above the rest.

    I've seen Matt Farah's two one takes of this car, and always thought it was a lame, reskinned amg gt. Boy oh boy was I wrong; offering a dog-legged manual option, weight balance, perfect ELSD tuning, it's all really cool. Massive respect to Aston for what they've done with this, even though they transitioned to slightly over-the-top styling and ditched the analog gauges, there seems to be a lot of effort to make this into a unique, high performance and yet comfortable all-rounder. Thanks for illuminating this to me, Mark.
  • @autonewstv86
    Finally, a car that looks like a concept drawing in real life. 😍
  • @eugenet6632
    This automobile is art. Too sad the most of us never will experience or understand.
  • @weltonreds
    Marc...you sir are a craftsman of the highest order... your production quality, continuity and analysis are without equal in the automotive review universe. Kudos!!!
  • The intro is fantastic: shots, soundtrack, montage,... everything ! Thanks, SG, please never stop.
