He's an OK reviewer, but clearly not in the same league as Alex Dykes. IMO, he does not go into the details of the vehicles enough. He tends to talk in what, when I was back in school, they termed "Glittering-Generalities".......phrases that catered more to one's emotions than to a vehicle-analysis. To be honest, though, most of the time, I'd rather listen to Doug than to Scotty Kilmer with his (usual) yelling and arm-waving.

I wasn't referring to numbers. Numbers and hits don't tell the whole story. I was referring to what IMO was the quality of his auto-reviews and journalism. I learn more from Alex than from any other You-Tube reviewer.

i don't know if you watched it but with his years of experience as well as being a genuine car enthusiast as well as starting a hugely successful car auction site, you might learn quite a lot from it.

thanks for your input but that has absolutely nothing to do with the video.

but i've learned a lot from doug, one tidbit in particular that stuck with me was VW's approach to designing the gen 1 touareg/cayenne... VW genuinely didn't know what would work well in the US as far as a luxury SUV, so they just threw everything they could at it and hoped for the best! that's why in following iterations they toned things down as they started to figure out what american buyers valued most, and why they stopped doing things like offering a massive turbo diesel V10
