Carlos Lago should be on the head to heads.. He actually understands shit
mornadu he left and got replaced
+marnadu,They punished him for leaving by not putting him back on there but honestly I think they are hurting themselves.
so Carlos left motor trend and then came back? I heard he went to Edmunds or something
Yes! He and jonny used to do ignition and head to heads. I like Carlos a little better than Jason
Stop disliking, just enjoy the occasional free content. They owe you nothing
J O they don't have to make RUclips videos, they easily make enough money off their magazines to keep the company running. There are also lots of alternative ways to produce video content and make money without them ever even setting foot on RUclips
Henry Kincaid if the free videos didn't suck so bad, I'd stop disliking. it's my opinion on the video.
"... they easily make enough money off their magazines to keep the company running..." I doubt it lmao
Branislav Mladenovic They had made enough money off their magazines by the 90's to fund whatever they want for as long as they want.
Henry Kincaid they probably disliked because the video sucked.
Wow, I remember when SUVs had stickers warning about tipping over... Progress is amazing!
Mobile Bacon Machine copycat, think of your own things to say.
Well to be fair this isn't REALLY the same type of SUV as those generally were (the Ford Explorer, for example). Its much smaller, doesn't use a body on a truck frame, isn't REALLY intended for towing or off road (not to say that it can't do these things)... That said, even the "old school" SUVs are still much better than they once were.
@@themattenthehat i wouldnt say it like that. I drove the Macan in the Gts variant offroad last year. The Macan did things i didnt expact that he can do this. You cant compare with a G Wagon or sth like that but for an compact, normal Suv the Macan is really good in driving off road. He plays with the best in his price class
Remember when Carlos Lago was in Top of Motor Trend? Annnnnd he left and came back for this !?
The example of how to fuck up your career.
A drone over the middle of the figure 8 pointing down showing you the full track would be nice.
Just like the old videos Carlos used to upload to his own channel when he was still working for MT 😍 That's great! Really enjoyable to watch. The only things that need to come back now are the "Let's geek out about.." videos 😀
NeedforCookies The geek out videos were the best ever!
much enjoyed, great video!
I like that you're doing these videos again, I always liked seeing them on your old personal channel. I kinda liked the camera positioning better in your old videos though!
Thank You Motor trend for using a front view cam!! Great Idea! Don't stop using it! (:
Also thank you Carlos and Johnny! (:
Just FYI that not all of your viewers are on the internet. I subscribed to the Motortrend channel on Amazon Firestick TV. Keep up the great videos Carlos.
I love this videos !!! I learn so much and they are fun to watch !!!!
Remember that time when Lagos was gone?
Yea, I'm glad those times are behind us :D
Palm trees and snow capped mountains -- gotta love it. The care is okay too.
Nice to have you back Carlos :)
could have been nice to see a wide exterior shot of this. hard to judge the lateral from just from the drivers seat
Hey Carlos, did that GTS have Porsche Torque Vectoring+ on it?
Carlos Lago you're back!
This is an enjoyable video to see how the porsche handles and to see the adjustments he makes to counter over-steer and yo hear the engine and for him. To give a play by play as he drives and explains certain aspects. All very enjoyable to listen to. That's if you appreciate vehicles beyond what they look like, name, and number they make on paper ONLY then this isn't the video for you and you more then likely haven't been a advit car lover since a baby
I've tried to sign up for the trial twice and when I put in my card info and finish the subscription the page just stays processing and never does anything
I always enjoy your show!! Curious with all the cars you experience.......and if the figure 8 times did not matter......what car would you say, would be the "most fun" , most pleasurable on the figure 8 tract? Such that you wouldn't wish to stop driving??
I would enjoy hearing/reading your opinion.....??
just jim
where did you test drive because it's one heck of a view
Carlos needs to go back and star on the Ignition videos, he seems to know more about cars in general.
All I could think of when I saw the building with the red roof was In n Out and I was hungry the whole time, looks so much like one.
Couldn't agree more with the sound.
this porsch looks sounds and drives like awesome for what class its in.No its no 911 but i would pit it against the ford escape of the honda pilot anyday of the week for a compact suv porsch has done an outstanding job helping to keep that mid aged dad smiling on those family weekend trips..
The minute I hear somebody say "I bought the Porsche minivan so that I could oversteer out of the corners" is the moment that I realize that person has no taste in motorsports. It's kind of like when you see somebody put a spoiler on a Honda Odyssey.
carlos ,you need more outside the car video,too much inside!
WEIMY BIMMER agreed.
Why do you guys in Murica have yellow light reflectors on the front bumper? Get with the times.
Different standards and laws in different places probably? In my country all turn signal indicators (front&rear) are amber coloured. Where as many cars in US can use the red tail light as a turn indicator. Here it's not allowed, they must be amber coloured.
I'м Dave,
Im in Arizona, though i believe this is nationwide, the front turn signals are amber. The rear signals can either be amber or red. my hyundai is amber. my dads Toyota is red.
Phil Z Same here in Utah. Pretty sure it's nationwide that rear signals can be either.
My country uses those in the front lights and red in the back for tail lights. Doesnt seem strange to us.
In Murica yes it comes out like from the factory but also in Murica we can change it to a different color any which way we want :D call that perks of living in a free country. :D , mine is painted over with purple :D
What mountain is that in the background?
nice!!!!
Great review, great feedback. So you´re telling me it is a bit synthetic. For an SUV that does not sound to bad to me.
I hope you are reading comments. You have a lot of subscribers. I would add some more exterior drive by so you can see the outside of the car, even if the track is in a figure eight. It might make it more interesting. Seven minutes is a long time for doing so little. I could see seven minutes driving and doing some off roaring and such. Hope this helps you improve. Check out our channel for ideas. We are new too, but I think we have some good videos. You will see different exterior car shots and interior with both GoPros and Sony. Comment if you have more questions or want feedback. Heidi.
U need to do this woth a done hovering over the car track
Looks like a pretty nice hatchback.
Carlos would you say that autox or hpde is doable with the macan gts. I know its not going to be the fastest thing out there but I am more concerned with is it going to roll over.
Greatest ROAD car in the world today.
I'd get excited about a turbo V6 sound but then I've never driven a Porsche.
Carlos, does this Macan have PTV?
This car handles better than most sedans do. Love to have one.
I have been a follower of MT since way before the internet. I'm saying that because I don't want to be thought of as a MT hater. Saying that, you made the comment that the figure 8 among other things helps to gauge transitions that "you actually feel" . Actually feel on a racetrack but not on the streets! Yes there are a lot of idiots that will drive like that on the streets but for the average, normal daily driver that doesn't apply.
that's a very cool car, quick question, does the turbo version or the gts really worth the money difference due to daily use to the S ? I willing to believe that the S would do the job just fine
for daily use, the S is more than enough
That mountain view tho
Get your own show already!
Shouldn't the course, and that pole with 2 signs on top, be further distance from each other?
Would you go faster with a slightly wider and rounder turn in?
Duh, yeah, but that's not the point.
All I could focus on were those mountains in the background 😔. Where is this that there are palm trees and snow top mountains!? Heaven?
chrisdblue California I think
It would be great to have Lago as host on Ignition... just saying...
nice Cali views back here btw
Would yo riview 2002 Honda/Acura NSX Type R?
I thought Carlos went over to Edmunds?
Do a moose test!
look at those fuckin mountains omg
Combine negotiation excuse training therefore fund object AM similar.
could sit there all day running figure 8s, till the tank was empty.
As someone who has been to the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta and flogged a Macan GTS for an hour and a half I can say that Carlos' comments echo my own thoughts. The Macan GTS is a track capable SUV and is a whole lot of fun at the limit while also being really comfortable and practical. I would very much like to own one someday.
I believe macan should be pronounced matjan not makan, but anyway ok good video
i see some of you guys are trashing Jason...
the guy is good, they all are but listen to the things he mentions and he can put intangibles into words unlike any of the other guys. give him a chance

fucking motortrend, gief Giulia h2h video already
Mario D. Zmaj Gulia je jeben auto al mislim da ce M3 bit malo bolji:)
BlitzkriegRap nema sanseee!
not makan but macan. "c" read "c" not "k. macan is kind of tiger in Indonesia.
Have you guys tried a new dodge demon
I think that the Macan and the Cayenne drivability should be compared to the Panamera's. It's a better driving dynamic point to be compared than the 911's
Daniel Maia true
Why would nobody try the limits? This car seems like a high end subaru and I push subarus so why wouldn't i push this. Wouldnt i put blizzaks or similar like I would an Sti or forestor Xt and hoon it all day in the snow or back roads?
how do I get a job here at motortrend ?
2017 ZL1?
Every since motortrend ondemand, motortrend's quality here on youtube has really gone down the drain. It's a real shame.

When are us youtube pleb fans gonna get more head2head/ignition?
Macan is hot
Deezz nuts! Ha! Got em!
I feel i'm missing nothing by not subscribing to this .. What a boring review
MTOD is pretty good,there's way more stuff than you think.
shut up whine ass
Vax Buster MTOD is actually really good
Its not a review. This is just a video of the car on the figure 8 test. If you just want to see a review of the car, fine look up a review.
Then cars is not your area of interest.
Third!
4th
2nd
lol
nice little AUDI Q5 XD
First
10th
Why am I always the tenth in almost every video I watch even others
does the figure eight prove anything really i don't see it
transitions
Macan in Arabic means A PLACE, don't tell trump
Good use of a lower-case "t".
that was really boring I'm out
Alfa Stelvio quadrfolio will beat it .
Mehh...
WHERE IS JASON CAMMISA? Carlos Lago has the personality of a three day old fish.. Johnny teams perfectly with Jason, not Carlos.
All that electronic balance, means a bad vehicle that will be a bad vehicle again once those ridiculous computers and sensors start to give up the ghost... How long before your computer and phone are obsolete? Useless. Too heavy and will EAT those tires and ANY tire as it tries to "fake" actual chassis balance... sorry Porsche... you missed.
What a dreadful looking abortion of a car!
This has to be the ugliest Porsche ever made
Cayenne is far uglier
