They need to bring back up to speed on a weekly basis

This feels like a classic episode before they got bought out.

@@andyholstein237 what

@@BMW-M4-M-POWER Donut was bought by Recurrent in 2021. But unlike what other dude said, Donut was still releasing Up2Speed for a little over a year after that buyout.

Thanks Obama

Just stood in a field of rakes and they couldn't miss one 😂

Business always ruin cars after computers did

No it should be called how many bad decisions can the federal government make

@@budgroweryt9947 You can’t blame the government for designing and manufacturing the ugly unreliable piece of junk cars made by gm and other companies that went out of business.

*insert electric Silverado*

I'd argue that Saturn had the most potential of any of the brands GM axed in 08. Pontiac was more iconic, but just wasn't able to differentiate itself from Chev by the 2000's. Hummer wedged itself into a really narrow niche that wasn't viable during the recession, and Saab also had too narrow of a niche, while also just being too up and down in terms of quality. As for Saturn, it suffered from badge engineering, but at least it's body style made it stand out. It also filled the small economy car niche better than any other GM brand.

I had an Ion that I rehabilitated, and it was like the car was made of legos. It was so simple to change body parts on it, I changed a bent aluminum bumper support in about 15 minutes.

well saab still exisist today theyre jsut not doing cars anymore their car factory were shutdown yes and gm didnt even own saab

last part about saab is false a lot of it in fact it was and still is owned by swedish goverment and gm rented saab from swedish goverment until swedish goverment ended that rent agreement due gm failing on their payments and it was swedish goverm,ent who also blocked sale of automotive parto of to chinese

No, no it didn’t.

​@@MacAttack1776it crashed right in

​@@SpeedKing..Nahhh 💀😭

It didn't happen like that in 2001

I knew what he meant

they shouldve mentioned it yes but at least they mentioned Pontiac which eventually sold Holdens in the US

Surprised they didn't mention it when they were talking about the other axed GM badges

Holden and Falcon in Australia were the best

not mentioning holden is such a disrespect

Holden deez nuts 😢

But old people love to feel like they’re keeping up with what’s cool with the kids. So the true market is cars that old people think young people think are cool.

I always wondered if this was an intentional move to market to the elderly pretending to market to youth Also the problem is the youth that can afford cars make terrible choices and don't want practical hatchbacks and crossovers. That's why the 86 survives😅

*laughs in midlife crisis*

@@JSchroederee Hey, the 86/BRZ actually gets pretty good MPG, and young people can justify not having a spacious car because they often don’t have kids yet, and if they do have kids, the backseats aren’t great, but younger kids will fit. 🤷‍♂️

@@Toolace Very much this. I don't have kids so I'm enjoying "interesting" cars while I can. My first car was something boring and cheap (Fiat Punto) but since then I've had a Z4 and now an 86. And I guess this is why sportscars are also known as mid-life crisis cars, people who want them, but have kids, have to wait until after their kids have grown up and got cars of their own/moved out.

MG as well in 2005, the new MG is a new Chinese company just the same badge. Rover seems to get forgotten outside of the UK and Europe, crazy when they were responsible for the creation on Land Rover and Range Rover originally.

isn't suzuki dead? at least in the US it is

@@vwpassat444 Suzuki definitely not dead.

Did they forget? Or, are they irrelevant in the US?

same as isuzu

The Auroras were a big deal in the Philippines, they were like the Cadillacs of the islands. You'll still see a load of them around in the smaller cities

Aurora owner here. I love these cars. It has a personality, it drives well, it rides well, it sounds good after a muffler swap, and it's pushing 200K. I've owned 3 and they've all been great.

I'm surprised that they didn't mention Holden in this video

07 holden

@@EngiNetion they don't live in Aussie, that's why

Holden designed the G8 and 2003-2006 GTO

@@GiordanDiodato pretty sure they know Holden, you don't need to live in Australia to know Holden anyways.

I appreciate the special nod to the ‘Saabaru’ Anyone who doesn’t know about that, isn’t a true gearhead.

I agree. Saa was a wonderful car company. from USA.

As a Finn and ex-Saab owner I also miss Saab (and my old Saab too)

Man I wanted a Saab so bad as my first car. I had a real limited budget and tried finding an aero or viggen, manual, less than 100k miles, but I had so little options close enough for me to take a bus to. I waited for so long so I eventually gave up and bought a really well priced TL type S, but Saab went under shortly after that and I kept regretting my decision.

I had a remapped 9000 Aero. Can't think of another car that you could use to move house in the morning, and embarrass boy racers in the evening. A true wolf in sheep's clothing. Saab deserved far better than what GM did to them. They were a pioneering company that'll always have a place in my heart.

more so chrysler, u have the pre chrysler companies, usmc and Maxwell chalmers, plus all the dead brands that when to form AMC and Jeep.

It's just relative due to GM's huge number of brands

thats been the plan since the mid to late 70s ford and gm conspired together to take out all of fords competition by either forcing them to sell to gm or else go bankrupt. so when you get a gm made car your getting screwed the same as ford screws their customers. sounds too similar right? yeah coz thats been the plan all along! its no mystery how the world doesnt know this so easy i was reading about what ford did to the auto industry in america when i was a kid in the 80s, if you own a ford you do not know just how crooked they really are! they lobby in congress hardcore and have changed the auto industry into one of the biggest scams in america right next to banks! all the good american cars are gone thank ford and gm for that!

GM is the EA of car manufacturers

@@angelgjr1999 now thats funny hahaha

Yes up to speed was so good

What else could they do it on?

@@re5onance244lots actually, if you really need to ask that then what’re you doing here…

They aren't even trying anymore 🙄😥

@@acropophia8857 😂😂y’all sound like annoying ass kids on every video “bring back up to speed” my nigga they seen the last 2 million comments

As much as I do miss the WS6 I still miss Oldsmobile cars more they had class with out cheap Pontiac quality

Except its the current GM we are talking about, even if it happened it would just be a rebadged chevy thats going to break down every 10k miles like the rest of them.

The best brand that came out of GM

Love me my Solstice GXP with GMPP performance upgrade. 290hp and 340ftlb in such a tiny car, awesome

​@@waterloo123100 Buick is still kicking somehow

Too soon.

Reminds me of that tragedy

Especially Pontiac. I’ve been hoping and praying for a new trans am/firebird

I'm a Mopar guy, Plymouth had the 'Cuda for god sakes🥲

R.I.P

@@antoineaaron3754 Let's be real though, it would still just be a rebadged Camaro

@@Rextraordinaire true, and I have a Camaro but the Firebirds, especially the Firehawks had more power, looked better, and had those aesthetic looking ram air hoods. Doesn’t take from the fact that you’re correct though 😂

Been saying this! Plus, they also made a modern Opel GT which was just another rebadged Saturn Sky lol

The solstice design team even wanted to put a V8 in the solstice but gm nixed it because they didn't want internal competition for the Corvette.

@@jonf2009 Go to Adam LZ for that. He shoved an LS into his mom's Solstice.

Naw, that goes to the Pontiac Fiero... All they had to do was keep improving it. Look at Corvette now, rear engine

@@jonf2009 you mean external competition? Lol

As we die, so will the names. Such as Google this - List of defunct automobile manufacturers of the United States

Actually it was Obuma's requirments for GM to close Pontiac. Long live Kenya.

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ shut

But it's not true, it was the government making more money off of the backs of the American people. The reason everything crashed the way it did was from the insider trading the government does.

Since when did GM do anything that made sense?

All the $$ sunk into that hideous Aztek doomed the brand. Still sucks to this day.

@@reneeandchrisforever The Aztek successfully predicted the demand for crossover SUVS and the 4th Gen RAV4 grill is very similar to the Aztek's ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@l.e.miller1208 Ehhh that grille comment is a reach lol.

@@AdultsAreTalking it's not a reach. The Aztek isn't pretty but it had a good idea of where car design was going -- it was just way ahead of its time and not very good looking. Not a good combo. If you are going to challenge your audience you need to nail it. But they were right about where design was going even if they didn't nail it.

100%

I own solstice GXP - awesome car

Sky is kinda cool

So cool, that it was used in the 1st Transformers movie

It was an Opel, not a US car. Just a badge job on a German car.

I miss those too but I feel like they've maybe run out of "easy" to do ones and it seemed like one of their harder/more time consuming videos to make.

Ditto

@@WellingtonCordeiro That’s probably very true.

How is this not the same thing? You need a title that bad?

@@natemoretz6910 it was the actual format not the title

I think if they marketed to a different group they probably would've been better off, because their cars were well made and good looking mostly...but their primary demographic was teens and just barely adults...who can't really afford new cars.

J

it was a good idea on paper, but in the end, people were buying Corollas instead, the brand fell apart

@@brianmcdermott3938 I feel like what really killed them was the Kia Soul. it was cheaper, got better mileage, and had better interior space.

Can’t tell you how many TC owners thought they could compete with V8s

It because the alero was just a cavalier, and like any chevy compact they're hit and miss. I had a 2.2l Cavalier with a 4 speed autobox and exactly zero other features. Bulletproof. People with the 2.4 claimed it ate rocks and died quickly. I had a Chevy Cruze with the 1.4l turbo. It had a coolant leak once and managed to drive itself to the shop pissing a stream of coolant and still managing to hold the gauge solid at normal temp. People with the 1.8l said it ate rocks and died quickly.

@@krishamm2605 It was a very simple car. It had as much as I could ask for in the features department being that it was my first car, and I bottomed out and slammed it and absused it plenty in the years I owned it. As far as im concerned, the Alero and I guess by extension the cavalier was a great car. My buddy had an 04 (I think) cavalier and though he hated its limited featureset, it gave him some rather painless years of driving. worst he ever did with it was ditch it in the winter and even then after pulling it out, just drove home no worries.

I loved my tC. Such a great car. If it makes you feel better, a lot of the TC's looks and features made their way to the next gen Corollas.

I've seen a tC rip by me on the street at around 70, and that moment proved to me that tC's are amazing tuners, because I was walking, and we were on a street with two lanes and a curb in the middle.

yeah like "TESLA" shout )

Nothing changed either. Their investing in to the China ev game and billions on a HD truck facility 😂

Creo haber visto uno en la calle, sin saber lo que era. Muy curioso

And the xB is just a square go kart lol

Scion was Toyota. Its like saying Ziggy Stardust and David Bowie are two different people. I recently got a rebuilt xB. Its like driving a compact shuttle bus, like a camery and a vw bus had a child but it is actually kinda fun. And they get good gas mileage and last 400k+.

Biggest regret of my life was my 06 xB that I totalled 😢😢 Probably common among scion owners lol

@@bournes9845 I still remembered that car to the GOAT of Gran Turismo, GRAN TURISMO 4. It also has Scion TC (Midnight Club 3 and NFS SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED).

I love the 1st gen Xb. It's a toaster. I seriously consider them every time I see a cheap one for sale, so practical

Haha, I always thought the oldsmobile had possibly the worst name in cars. Old and Mobile. Why would anyone under 65 want one?

​@@mattm7798 I'm in the under 65 demographic and I still want an Olds lol, in fact I have one now 😂

@@mattm7798 I'm 16 going on 17, and I was ALWAYS obsessed with the Alero coupe

@@mattm7798 to be fair the founder's last name was Olds.

They named Plymouth first though...

Stupid bit is SAAB still exist, just not under their own brand name. The SAAB 9-3 is used as the base platform for another car. Also should be noted that SAAB automotive haven't been part of the SAAB group since 2000, the core group is still alive and kicking making jets for the US Air force.

@@cgi2002 Do you know of any interviews/articles regarding this. I have had a fascination with saab as of late and would like to read about the main people behind the cars and where they went.

@@msk-g3783 unfortunately not and the information I could find on the automotive side was lacking. Plenty of info on their aircraft business however.
