Well, here's something quite unusual...and perhaps the first time I've ever seen or heard it. Scotty Kilmer is well-known for excessively loud vocals, one-liners, and arm-flailing in his automotive videos. Here, he explains Mazda'a new Skyactiv-X technology, which allows gasoline to be injected with compression-ignition like a diesel...and he does so in a calm, refined, and dignified manner. I actually found it nice to listen to.

I didn't add this to the thread on the Mazda 3's turbo because, technically, this video deals with a different subject....needing a new thread.

 

I'll believe it when he sells off his Celica.

 

He loves the Zupra supposedly, since Toyota sent one his way to test drive...but last year he called it a disgrace among other things.

 

it's a BMW !!!

 

This guy is not very knowledgeable i guess? I turned him off almost right away.

His Supra video popped up on my page. He was comparing it to the Z4 and said Supra had 1 turbocharger compared to the Z4’s 2 turbochargers thats why it has less power and also will be simpler/more reliable.

Only issue is both cars have 1 turbocharger and share same B58 engine just Z4 having updated version now going into Supra for 2021.

 

Scotty Kilmer is entertainment if you want to gain actual automotive knowledge go somewhere else. Unless clickbait is your thing then he's got you covered.

 

I owned one of those mid-90s Celicas myself. It was indeed an excellent car....though I don't keep and drive them to the age that Scotty does. I've felt, for years, that Toyota built many of their best products in the 90s.

 

He made a video basically calling it a BMW.

 

Well, that was the whole purpose of me posting this video in the first place. It was one of the few he's ever done that one did not have to turn off because of excessive volume, arm-flailing, or run-on sentences. This one, you could actually listen to it calmly.

 

Oh yeah, now that Snotty is getting press vehicles from Toyota (I'm sure he's on a lot of other manufacturers NO list), he isn't saying anything bad now that he has a new car in his intro to smoke the tires on and rev up your engines! He made some negative Supra videos last year, but who knows if Toyota gives a crap because the clicks speak for themselves, just like Doug Demuro even when he wasn't a fan of the GS F.

 

MM: Didn't you get the memo? Apparently, Scotty is persona non grata on CL! Please cease and desist posting his videos.

 

Very few of his videos are worth posting. This was a rare exception.

And, no, I have not seen any memo.

 

Wilson, please stop bring past issues into this and future threads about this topic.

 

It’s called cannabis....legal up in the great white north. The Arm flailing slows down and internet trolls are far more tolerable that they come off the ignore list for a while Yeah, he is subdued but he is not actually in the video. I Wonder why? I don’t mind him here and there, he can be entertaining sometimes.

 

Are you staying he was under the influence of marijuana while making this video?

BTW, marijuana-use has been either legalized or decriminalized in a number of places in the U.S. and Canada. In my state, for instance, it's still illegal on the books, but our county's DA won't actively prosecute any local cases any more......it is considered an extremely low priority.

I might be wrong (I can't read minds), but I think he's seen enough complaints about his former speaking/video-style that he has simply decided to do something about it.
