GR86 EVO car of the year

It’s a bit weird because EVOs sister company autoexpress tested the same 8 cars and decided the GR86 was the best car. The autoexpress article was written by Steve Sutcliffe who sums up with “The GR86 really is some car. It is without question our superstar sports car if 2022”.

However on the EVO test it was Steve Sutcliffe who gave the GR the lowest mark of all six judges putting it behind the mc20, 296 and Altura? Maybe he regretted his decision, but if he’d changed his order it would have won the EVO test too.
Same thing happened with the Yaris. Jethro Bovingdon ponced over from doing a video blog in the States (sorry, Top Gear USA), and gave it a really low score after driving it on one road. It would have beaten the M2 CS otherwise. He only likes cars with the engine in the boot, everyone knows that. 😂
 
Somewhat related, but I'm just watching JayEmms review of the MC20 and he really doesn't seem impressed with how it drives on British roads. I know he's just one man, but when he shows such surprise about how any UK reviewer could rate it so highly, kind of makes you wonder if perhaps the GR should have beat it ;)

I wouldn’t listen to a word this guy says. Utter crap. Watch his review of the gr Yaris. According to him it will never sell 😂

Got to say I have watched loads of his reviews, and initially hated his tone, and found his presentation style really dated - like he learned his intonation from 90’s top gear. But he does review a really good variety of mostly interesting cars, and I think his view is at least worth hearing, although I agree @GR86 I don’t necessarily agree with his conclusions
 
I tried a few of his videos when I was thinking about buying an Evora, not for me. Putting aside anything personal in nature, Particularly noticeable for me on a supercharged GT86 video was he didn't actually review it, at all. Quite poor!
 
Really don't know how the click bait king is so popular! Really find him arrogant and 100mph delivery so annoying...yuk!
Still find some of his videos pretty good, but have to admit, I often watch mostly out of habit. He's done a fair amount of the standard Youtuber thing of buying his "dream car" and then selling it a couple of months later when it turns out he's bought a bag of crap, which is a little tiresome.
 
Yes! I've been trying find more decent YouTube content and they all buy their dreamcar, except that every single car they feature is there dreamcar..........yawn
 
Anyone else here is wondering where Ecoty edition '23 went?
In the last three years the episodes were broadcasted respectively on December 28th, 29th and 30th, so already three weeks late and well into year 2024...
Maybe they couldn't put together a handful of proper fun sportcars produced during the year? Anyway for everyone else like me nostalgic of the last edition roads this Autocar test comes to an help in the excruciating wait:
