Default Initial Carsplain Review Pipeline!

Hey Car Chatters!

As some of you know, I've jumped into a fun little world of creating some car review type content.

We have the following vehicles coming in soon, so if there's something specific about the car, or controls, or technology that you're interested in please leave a reply and I'll try to incorporate that into what we get produced!

Incoming:
  • Lexus NX300h
  • Toyota Camry TRD
  • Toyota Highlander (not sure if gas or hybrid yet)

Available (from our own stable):
  • 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • 2019 BMW X5
  • 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • 2006 Audi S4 Avant (hahaha)
Some of you already have (THANKS!), but would appreciate any additional subscribers/followers on our pages!

Thanks! Still playing around with different "regular" videos and touchpoints. And then some unique ones based on the trim/grades and or specific features on the evaluation units themselves.

I checked out your Facebook page. I think you are well organized and off to a good start. I will try to block out some time to check out some of your videos. Best wishes to you in this endeavor.

Thanks all!! We're working to get more access to the test vehicles, so if there are any specific requests I'll be sure to note them and see what we can do!

For Toyota, I'd vote for reviews on Avalon, 4Runner and LandCruiser. Lexus I'd vote for LS500 and LC (!!)

why review the 4runner? it's barely changed in a decade. same with landcruiser for that matter.

Fair point - I guess it's just personal bias and interest as I find those more interesting than almost anything else in the Toyota lineup.

I'd still love to get the 4Runner and Land Cruiser through as well!

With a new channel like this and the content you are looking to do you might consider the following in order to get the best exposure and grow your channel.

Maybe take the top 5 best selling cars and do those plus 2 or 3 of their direct competitors.

Once you have that base of 15 reviews, then maybe get into the more 'fun' reviews so to speak.

Just a thought.

Thanks, definitely have a lot of those in the queue, and then taking what the OEMs can give on the evaluation side. It's just a side project for now, still have my day job. So it won't be as much or rapid as the large youtubers.
