I liked the fact the car has a 130k and is still running strong anyway. A ten minute quick detail would have went a long way though haha.

That rear pillar hanging annoyed me--a neglected quick fix.

Nice shift **** though.

He references multiple car reviews he's done in the past and it has me thinking...how does this guy still have a job. He is only minimally knowledgeable on the CTS-V and says a lot of things that are 100% filler. "The nav system has a lot of buttons that do different things." Yeah, guy, real insightful.

A job? I'm pretty sure it's just a group of friends trying to put together some professional looking video footage and posting it on a website. Not exactly a high-dollar operation.

"Many thanks to TorqueList.com for allowing me to review their car today." Just checked and that is a mighty unimpressive website. Prolly got paid 50 bucks for this review.

50 bucks he didn't have in his pocket beforehand at least. LOL
I saw a review by this guy on the 300 SRT8. He's def not car savvy, but whatever. He comes off a bit... flamboyant?

This is just some guy who does his own car reviews and puts them up on youtube, whose loafers may indeed be a little light. Kind of like the saabkyle guy on youtube. He is not some paid automotive journalist by any means....kind of figured that part was obvious myself.
