I'd love it if you guys did a worst car of 2022 and just sandbagged some cars too
This is the best idea I've heard all day. These two just absolutely dumping on a rubbish car would be hilarious
That would lose them access to press cars in the future from the brands those cars belong to.

@@-SP. True.
Absolutely!
You guys are my RUclips find of the year, and the content (and the editing, behind the scenes, etc) is very appreciated. As you've probably heard enough by now, you guys have filled that void in the hearts of those of us who enjoyed a previously well known comedic car review show featuring three middle aged men.
Please keep doing what you do, you are all awesome.
Thanks!
You guys have a genuine chemistry together that I thought only Clarkson, Hammond, and May could bring to the screen. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to 2023
Even tho i disagreed with almost all of the cars on this, except the Maserati, it was a great vid. Never been more happy for a porche to get second place (Instead of first), hate Porsche with a burning passion.
Best car journalists out there. The balance of knowledge/humour between James and Thomas is spot on. Great info, quality video editing, and always get a laugh during a video. Happy New Years Throttle House team, can't wait to watch more!
Absolutely agree!
Absolutely agree! When they made the LOTR reference with Fangorn Forest, I freaking lost it, hahahaha
I just stopped the video a few seconds in, being sure that the winner will not gather everyone's agreement, to thank you for the moments well spent watching you guys goofing about. I'm sure you two are living the dream and I'm sure you worked hard to get there. Enjoy, thank you and happy new Year!
Now back to the video so I can disagree 👌
Thanks for your support. We shall continue to mess about.
@@ThrottleHouse amazing
@@ThrottleHouse 😂😂😂 fucking hilarious
@Throttle House ahhh bummer, I didn't drive the Z06, but I'll take your word for it. The Cayman for me (drove in other specs) sums up what a daily driver that will make you smile at any turn should be like. I can only imagine what that engine does to it. Anyway, again thank you and wishes of a wonderful 2023 from across the pond!
@@ThrottleHouse its electric steering rack, even porsche sucks at it. hydrallic is how lotus and mclaren gives driver ability to feel how close to limit of grip car is with much more confidence, stiffer chassis and seats can help in that too with bump crash energy abosrbing rubber stuff to make it not too bumpy and vibrating over bumps. pedals also hydrallic , so they push back more you push deeper into pedal, so you can be more confident about how much brake power, and engine power (for hybrid cars whos sound and power dont correlate linearly), you have left before you dont have more power to use. lotus emira is most linear correlation in response to driver, so its most fun car per every bit of speed change it can do compared to other cars, and most people dont drive on race track or open big roads, so theres not much of apaoint of having car shows speed change is so much that you dont have much time to enjoy the hamrony between driver input and sound and power etc and the speed changes in changing gears. lighter weight car is more crash safe for people isndie and out the car, its more agile per amount of tire grip and more grippy tires last far less long and more expensive. less car size means more playroom in road. so lotus emira is car of the year... unless you count in gma t50, whoch is best of all worlds except maybe that a single seater trakc only car might beat it on track in terms of only speed, probably not in driving fun, defintly not as a every day use car.// but they sold all the cars they planed to make so far last year.
Didn't think this channel could get any better, then Thomas drops a Eurotrip reference.
Scotty doesn't know.. Scotty doesn't know.
@@wilmoore5259 thcoty*, fangorn and what madness drove you in there.
Classic movie
miscuzzi miscuzzi
not gonna lie, that's the first thing I thought of when he said "thcoty". But then I was like "naaah. they won't say it"
You two have created the best car review channel. I’ve spent about 4 years now as a dedicated car review watcher (sad maybe), I love cars, I love driving - you have become better and better - what you say, the narratives you create, the humour, all of it combines perfectly to reveal the truth of the cars out there. Very grateful. Thank you. 🙏 Happy New Year! 🍾
Happy new year!
So happy to see how far this channel has grown! You guys are easily my favorite car review channel on RUclips and from the few IG interactions I've had with you both, you're also very kind and awesome guys. Can't wait to see what next year holds for you!
I'm not much of an American car guy, but I'd give the award to the c8 z06. Who knows when it'll actually sell for MSRP but that thing is one hell of a value
It doesn't feel good to drive tho
@REV THW their review had a mention of dead steering feel and no feedback
@REV THW damn it’s just their opinion
@REV THW go watch their previous video about it
Most reviewers u saw only drives it on highway while these dude drives it in a track
I mean for them the 458 is still a better car than the z06 which is suprising since z06 has more power and newer but the 458 has amazing feedback that's why Thomas jokingly said that the 458 is the car of the year becuz its the best car he's ever driven this year
@REV THW a lot of viewers just want to see a hype video about a car they're into so they can get a sweet taste of that confirmation bias- they don't want to hear the bad things. ignore owners as they're almost always biased. the majority of car reviewers aren't good car reviewers and fail to fully analyze the car. savage geese is probably the best overall if you want a review you can trust where they will cover things the majority of reviewers missed. throttle house is also decent, but a bit more subjective for the sake of entertainment in some areas where it's really a cut and dry matter of objectivity.
Thanks guys for another year of great content and for not taking yourselves too seriously.
Thank you for watching! We have lots more not taking ourselves seriously to come.
I already guessed even before I watched you guys were going to choose the C8 Z06. Z06's major advantage over the 4RS happens to be it is street-able without beating you up in the process, something the harder dampening of the GT4RS would do to you if your road suck (which it does for a lot of US roads).
The GT3 engine didn't fit the Cayman/Boxster chassis, AP and his team had to re-engineer the GT3 engine specifically (during the 992 911 GT3 engineering) to make it fit the Cayman/Boxster. Savagegeese did a great video and interview with AP and his team about this and they explained what they needed to do to make the engine fit. When AP and his team were designing the 992 GT3, they made sure that the GT3 engine update would make it so they can fit it in the Cayman/Boxster, even if they had to flip it 180 degrees.
What a great accomplishment
Wonder how streetable C8 ZR1 will be
Best Car Show of the year: 👑 Throttle House 👑
Yes hi. Hyundai engineer here who did the steering for the Elantra N. definitely not James. Just wanted to say that yes I personally made the steering more heavily artificial and that James is correct and smart and cool
🙄
And I'm Brett!
Thank you so much for the amazing content you guys have given us this year. Looking forward to 2023!
Thanks for the great car content this year! I really enjoyed watching you guys and can’t imagine a life without you anymore ❤️
Thanks for all the great content this year. This channel has made me smile more than any other of my subs and its a pure pleasure to watch. Happy 2023 guys :)
Cheers y'all. Incredible year and incredible work from the entire TH team. Keep it up, and have a fantastic 2023!
hands down my favorite car related channel out there!! love the reviews!
C8 Z06 is epic, but your channel takes the spirit of classic Top Gear, moves it forward with irreverent humor, real driving skill & common sense financial advice; TH is the 2022 Automotive YT Channel of the Year!
Y’all have been my favorite car channel for a couple of years now and I pray for your continued success and happiness. Incredible chemistry and productions. Much love to James, Thomas and the Throttle House team. 🥳 🏎️
The last 3 years have been rough. You guys have absolutely killed it the whole time. The best part of Throttle House is how much you enjoy your job. Perfect example of how going for it, matters. Happy new years, fellas
Thank you guys for everything. You bring myself & at least a million others, a lot of joy & I'm immensely grateful.
Great channel- really enjoy hearing your perspective on vehicles tested - the no bs good and bad.
I feel like I’m chilling on the couch with my friends and just talking about cars. I love this channel so much, you guys are truly genuine. Happy New Years everyone🙏
If it wasn't the Z06 I was gonna be upset. Thank you Throttle House. I watch you guys with my Dad religiously. We love you guys. Keep it up!
I thought it was gonna be the GT4 RS but when it came #2 I was scratching my head...then I remembered the Z06, the value it brings and how they recently brought it to benchmark the Ford GT. Being Euro based I wasn't surprised when Top Gear recently chose the GT4 RS. If only to celebrate American engineering, I too think the Z06 is the winner.
@@sports2hedz542 I think they picked Z06 because they are American biased basically as majority of audience are Americans but reality we all know GT4RS is better, I drove both C8 and GT4RS and not even close in feel, forget about engine of both it's just perfection that Cayman in balance, it doesn't have double wishbones this and that but damn tuned to perfect for a perfect driving experience.... That's why no one can fault it...
Even these 2 guys mentioned Z06 have weaknesses but GT4RS they couldn't find any infact all they said is it's GT3 engine inside Cayman so? It's still best car
@@TRX25EX cayman visually suck imo
@TRX X yeah I think it might be the better car but I don't think they picked it based on their audience. Their criteria is also that it moves the goal posts in some significant way. Which the Z06 does. The Corvette brings the USA back to the true refined supercar arena, for half the cost of a Ferrari. The GT4 RS is only 20k more though. But for the shear amount of engineering required to build the new Vette from the bottom up, rather than slotting in an existing engine to a chassis (not easy by any means...but considerably easier)...is the reason they picked it. There are other criteria than solely the car itself. The car world is better off with an American supercar in the mix and for this reason alone it should be #1.
@@PosyaKisa The Cayman is beautiful, but not the GT4 RS. Too much aero stuff.
You guys are great. Thank you for a wonderful 2022 and here's to another year of awesome content!
just discovered this channel today and i'm hooked
Whenever ive imagined a good RUclips car show ended its been something like this
Too many shows try to copy the old top gear format and miss
Cant wait to binge everything
Thanks for an entertaining year of car reviews! You guys have stepped up your game big time. And thanks for the breakdown of potential car of the year candidates, especially the discussion and comparison between the Civic Type R, Corolla GR and the Elantra N. What you said about the original purpose of those cars -- supposed to accessible to the working man -- is so spot on. That’s the entire reason I bought my Elantra N. It embodies the affordable performance car concept that the Type R set so many years ago, but has gone away from today, now that dealers can dictate how much they feel the car should sell for. Looking forward to all TH has to bring us in 2023! 🍻
working man as in what way? Working in the slums? Golf GTI, BMW 3 series, etc... Audis too... Mercedes E class. These are all affordable to anyone who touched a college campus and got a degree, which to an American audience should be many..
"HAIRY BUTT CRACK" You guys kill it! Thank you for what you guys do. I look forward to everything you guys put out. CAN'T WAIT FOR '23!!!
This is a special video that resumes very closly what happend and what you guys lived with all the cars. Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
Thank you Thomas and James!!! You guys have the best automotive channel!
Props to whomever edited this one. The cuts were really well done and the commercial breaks came through like a natural part of the program. RUclips is showing me car commercials during those breaks which makes them all the more amusing. Top tier editing this week
I literally got Vrbo 3 times...guess I need a vacation 😅
Great job guys, couldn't have asked for better content this year. Definitely the most high quality automotive channel out there currently. You guys killed it this year, keep it up
Thanks!
You guys are my favorite YT channel.
Thank you both for all you do. Happy New Year. Cheers 🍻
I've never felt such a love for a RUclips channel as I have for ThrottleHouse. Excited to see what 2023 brings. Cheers
Thank you guys for the great videos! also thank you for pointing out that these performance hatchbacks were suppose to be affordable. I told myself I would get a Focus RS if it ever came to the U.S. It did with a $15k markup.... he'll no. Then Ford turns around and stops making it due to low volume. These markups are going to kill these fun cars.
Indeed. I bought a used 2018 RS in early 2019 for a good bit under MSRP (especially compared to now...) but that didn't give Ford any money and thus they think there's less demand. By the time I was able to afford the RS it was already out of production - otherwise I would have shopped new. But with $15k mark up, I'd have passed immediately. The RS is very special, but not $50k+ (USD) special. It's still just a focus, admittedly with a really nice drivetrain underneath.
Cayman GT4 RS is my winner ….. thank you guys for an amazing year with TH. Danish fan looking forward to seeing your brilliant reviews in 2023 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰. Oh! my GT4RS arrives around april 😜
Thanks for all the content you guys brought to us this year, you are by far my favorite car guys on RUclips (actually every where for that matter) and I truly enjoy your videos. Best of luck to you in the years ahead and keep those wheels spinning !
And videos coming !!
Gosh, I don’t know what I’d do without your reviews that include comedy and truth!!!!! Happy New Year!
You guys are great man, Happy New Year 👍🏾
we appreciate your team of little people
A third wheel is needed on this channel. I'm willing to sacrifice myself on behalf of Throttle House. The two of you need a American presenter to represent all your American subscribers. I grew up driving and fixing cars. I've been attempting to drive since the age of 4. My parents weren't thrilled to have me in the driver's seat at 4 years old. Live and learn. All vehicles we owned were manual transmissions early years. 3 pedals, 3 presenters... seems like a perfect fit. And I do believe you need a third presenter to round off the current couple. I would give up a kidney(literally) to join you two in throttle house. Driving has always been a passion of mine. And I would LOVE to do what you two do. I don't think I'll ever be able to own any, and I do mean ANY of the vehicles you two have driven. Not even the "cheap" Hyundai Elantra N for 30,000ish dollars. I would kill, figuratively speaking, to be a presenter alongside you both. I highly doubt this comment will get seen either of you or your production staff. Let alone will it get a response, except the random people mocking me in the comments. I would love to join both of you in your daily shenanigans. If there's a vacancy on the production staff I'd be willing to do that as well. I still think you need a funny, possibly younger(I don't think by much), sensible but open-minded American co-host. Just a thought... Please??? Maybe??? Everyday is a drag when you hate what you are doing for a living, I just want to wake up knowing I'm doing what I love, driving. And getting paid would just be a bonus.
Started watching this year. You guys are my favorite car channel now! Thank you!
Ending line (whispered): Blackwing!
You guys are my favorite car reviewers! Keep up the great work.
You guys helped get me through losing my mother to COVID. I hope you guys run for 100 more years! Happy new year to all the car heads.
It's been incredible to see this channel grow from E46 content to what it is today - not missing a beat in the process.
Thanks for a great year!
“Not gonna say we love you, cuz that’s bullshit.” “Yeah some of you prolly suck!”😂😂
Thanks for all the amazing content all year… looking forward to what you guys bring for 2023!
Happy New Year to you guys and the whole team! You've become my favourite RUclips car channel, your mix of humour, incredible visuals, and excellent car knowledge combines to make for truly fantastic videos. I agree with the C8 Z06, from what I've seen it's an overall incredible machine with few drawbacks, wish I could afford one. Excited to see what else GM does with the platform. Looking forward to more excellent videos in the new year (EV6 GT please!)
Great year you gave us, OMG!! Clearly the best car reviews of 2022. Please don't leave Canada so I don't get my hopes up for a car that is not available here! Like the Corolla G..., just kidding. Thanks from Québec.
i got to THCOTY and hit the thumbs up button.
Thanks guys yall are my fav car review channel on earth. Please never change. Happy new year. Rooting for TH!
Thank you guys very much for joy and entertainment and education. It’s always a blessing. Happy New Year and God bless.
Howdy from Finland ... Thanks for an exciting year filled with magnificent reviews, excellent comedy, and Hollywood grade acting 😂😂 ... You guys rock and your show is awesome and motivating and inspiring my lazy ass to make some more car videos too ... I hope one day I can meet you guys in person and just sit and talk cars ... Have a beautiful new year
I agree, did you see the one where Thomas was the shrink for James playing on needing help with accepting his girlfriend who was the (I think RS6). That was pretty funny.
When I watch these guys, I don’t just feel like I’m there literally feel apart of the team.
Exceptional work every time fellas love you guys can’t wait to see what y’all bring to the new year🎉
Thank you for making my 2022 a lot more bearable. I hope we can see the light in 2023!
I love this YT channel! It started out not trying to be anything, and as a result became EVERYTHING!! Happy New Year TH crew and fans!
Love y’all. Appreciate everything you have done!
I'm from Portugal, so almost every car you review is irrelevant for me! Still, I find my self watching every video you put online, laughing with your scripts and admiring the photography! Kudos!
But you love me. I just know it. LOL. you guys are awesome. Best car reviewers anywhere, IMO. Looking forward to what you bring for us in 2023!!
friggin' A. I've been watching you guys so much lately that I very easily guessed the runner-up and the car-of-the-year correctly (without clues)! I love you both. No matter what the topic of the video is, I can't wait to load up the next video. Your dynamic is enviable, inspiring, and makes for great comedy without fail. Keep it up, Thomas and James!
I honestly can't remember how I stumbled across your channel earlier this year (the Rivian review, maybe?) but it was such a happy find, and I've had my notification bell set to 'All' since! 🔔 Going through the back catalogue has been so entertaining, and it's also evident how much work you've done to move forward with the content and your brand as a whole. Love your presentation -- funny, accessible, yet still informative.
Wishing the entire TH team all the success in 2023! 🙌
Same! I was a virgin this year as well. After I watched my first TH spisode I was grinning from ear to ear from the intro so I went to the comments. Someone mentioned that their favorite was the MC 20 intro. I immediately searched for it and found Thomas in various yoga poses. I had to agree, it was the greatest intro ever. I was in stitches and absolutely enthralled with the comedy and creativity. I too spent days going through their back catalog. These guys are the absolute BEST. Similarly, it is the ONLY channel I have notifications set to "All". I noticed during the GT4 RS vid my mouth had been open the entire time. That is a sign of brilliance. Thanks TH for making my life just a little better.
@@sports2hedz542 Hello to a fellow TH fan! 👋🙂 Right, I'm gonna watch that MC20 video later. For me, another great intro bit (actually the whole video) was the Audi RS5 Competition. 😃 I also thoroughly enjoyed the review of the Factory Five Mk4 aka AC Cobra in disguise.
As an Elantra N owner, I agree with James that I prefer the steering in it compared to other cars in the category. I've seen both statements that it is and isn't artificial from a mechanical standpoint. So I cannot deny or confirm. Just know for me it's an amazing feel and keeps me connected
The Elantra N is an amazing sport car for the $. Too bad that its design is very ugly, the plain Elantra looks better but without the performance 🤷♂️
@@jmm1174 I don’t mind the design at all, and for the money it’s the n1 out of golf r and Honda and Toyota no question ask.
@@jmm1174 For me It looks ok when front number plate is in place
Honestly thought that they would pick it for car of the year, given all of the love they have shown for the car in their videos. I own the Elantra N as well, and I can say that for the money, there is not a better sports car out there, period. It truly is an incredible driving experience, around the track, or going for groceries. As for the looks, its definitely an acquired taste. I find that the longer I've had the car, the more I appreciate the styling. They really ride the edge of being edgey like the type R, and classy like a bimmer.
@@Kyle-vm3wf golf r selling for 50-60k cad
Type r probably the same, Elantra n for 40k…
Elantra n cheaper than new brz and g86 and prob my better on track and full size.. for me Elantra n is the best for your money
So happy I found you guys! Love this channel! Happy New Years!
Only getting started boys!!! well done!! Do Europe next maybe?
You guys are awesome. Cheers from Spain!!
Oh man, was this GREAT! I've only become a subscriber of late, I'm a little busy, but this is the BEST on You Tube....the best part? The guys.... excellent knowledge of the car culture, the rapport is excellent, natural and insightful. Contrast/comparison, ying and yang, antagonist/protagonist, whatever; you guys have it perfectly sorted out. I nominate you as "Guys" of the year!
Thank you for this incredible show guys.. I’ve watched every moment you’ve uploaded on RUclips this year and I enjoyed every second.. thanks a lot
Thank you so much for an amazing year of content. I can’t wait for what’s in store for the year 2023. Happy New Years to you guys and the team 🎉🎉
Love you guys, love the show. Only thing I hate about the show is that it makes me hate being poor. Can't wait to see next year's content on both channels.
Thomas still sits like a history teacher 😜.
I never liked the new Vette I still think it's ugly but the Z06 makes it really hard to hate it, The little changes they made to the Z06 were tasteful and good god that engine note sounds amazing.
I've always known the Corvette as the "redneck Ferrari", and now it's probably more so that than ever. BUT. It's hard to deny the capabilities and engineering.
Discovered you guys during pandemic, I knew instantly you guys would join the incredible ranks of top tier automotive entertainment.
Excited to see what you guys have in store for us and happy new year. Cheers to your continued success.
You really got me with that runner up tease; I completely forgot about the Cayman.
That was the most obvious choice ever haha, the C8 is so sweet.
The Best Car show just got better!
Thomas and James, Happy New Year! 60% of the time you nail it every time. Keep up the good work. Stay Classy.
You guys are THE ABSOLUTE best! Thank you thank you thank you for all your work. First class entertainment and information. Cheers to Throttle House!
Great stuff guys! Love your channel!
So, like 24 cars of the year. 😉
Love the casting couch episodes. Such great humor, and good info as well
Unsure if they came out in 2021, but no mention on the blackwings? Someone correct me.
Yeah, why no mention of Blackwings?
I haven’t watched the video yet but the C8 Corvette Z06 better be the winner. It is just that unique and great.
Thank you Throttle House for another year of well, Throttle House! Each video never fails to make me smile and laugh, all in the name and passion for cars. Wishing y’all many fruitful opportunities for next year!
thank you guys for being enthusiastic car enthusiasts, i love this channel and i can’t wait to see what’s in store ❤️
GR corollas and type Rs are going 70k+ not accessible at that price point for the car you're getting
Not for long. There aren't that many people willing to pay that much. Prices will drop.
James looks like he’s been lifting 💪🏽
Right !
...nope, smaller sweatshirt.
@@K03sport and fade + beard
Thank you for all the incredible videos and general automotive wow! Happy New Year and keep up the great work!
Great work Thomas and James!
Happy New Year! See you soon.
Happy New Year Throttle House! Started watching you folks this year and absolutely love it! While I would love to have an LFA or Ferrari one day, I may have to "settle" someday for a Zeeee06. Lol Best wishes to you in the New Year!
Wish I had your dilemma. 😂
Great presentation! GM reverse engineering and improving on a flat plane design seems to have pierced a Detroit bubble. They "went there" and now have permission to "go there" for the rest of their products to get their "standard of the world" mojo back. Hopeful.
Thank you for another year of highly entertaining content! All the best to you & your team in 2023, I cannot wait to see what you guys have in store for us!
I hate when RUclipsrs say, they love all of us. You just set yourself apart from everybody on RUclips and I respect you for it.
I think it would be actually really could if you do categories and the overall best such as MKBHD in his smartphones awards!
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays
Thanks man we did hope yours was awesome too
Happy New Year and thanks for everything!
Great video. Thanks for the summary. I agree with your choice for your Car of the year. The Zee-Oh-6 rules.
If you could make the z06 better, or have your way to make the ZR1, what would you like to see, change, or add??
you mean ZR1? ZL1 its the Camaro
Rear of the car looks too cheap and tacky. Won't age well
@@ragnarvr169
Yes, my bad
Add a supercharger 🤌
"Runners Up" is plural. You did a cool thing with the GT4 clues about mid-engine and natural aspiration, but I think most of us knew what THCOTY was going to be when we clicked the link ;). Maybe someday they'll improve the steering.
