Doug DeMuro's video on the GR86
You've probably seen his 2022 BRZ video before, but here's a new one about the GR86:
Looks like this wasn't posted on the forum before. Sharing here in case anyone missed it. |

That white looks good there. If our primary performance vehicle wasn’t already white (Sienna mini van) I’d consider it.

Its pretty lackluster. He forgot to mention the gauge cluster is in the shape of the boxer engine.

When he said it needs more power and basically has the same engine in the Ascent I was reminded that his isn't to be taken too seriously.

So there it is, the "more power" chant has begun anew. I like his reviews for the most part but Doug really needs to cut back on the Red Bull.

I have to agree. If you blacked out the fin and the tail, it would look even better. Honestly, it comes close to making me like it. Close...

Apparently the gauge cluster on the USDM's doesn't have the same animation. Can't remember where I read that.

I watch Doug's videos for the quirks and features more than his actual opinions on how the cars drive.

Ascent engine coming in 2023. Toyota Supra cancelled. All confirmed.
It must suck to drive cars that do 0-60 in 2 seconds, then have to go and get in this thing. Probably messes with your perceptions a lot. Like you have to try really hard to always remind yourself that this thing starts at $29K and 0-60 in 6 seconds and a mediocre interior is all acceptable. |

He's not a driver. He's a car guy. Great for a general overview but he can't tell his audience how a sports car handles at the limit or over it. He's a car guy. Not a driver abd there is a difference.

Give me something with wheels and an engine and I enjoy it for what it is.

Absolutely. Not putting him down. He has incredible knowledge and not everyone wants or needs to be on a track to enjoy their car. Prefer more driver focused content but he's always a great starting point.
