Seems like motortrend is producing better videos than R&T or C&D these days.

Certainly when it comes to resolution, if nothing else :-).

+ R&T / C&D use a max res. of ~360. For me, it has to be at least 720p to fully enjoy. My favourite 'videographers' are: Chris Harris, Justin Bell, Jason Plato, Tim Schmidt (i.e. NOT Clarkson!). Randy's pretty good as well ;-).

I also enjoy Edmunds.com short takes, where they just show the car running through the basic tests, showing the results, with NO commentary.

I hated MT as a magazine. I last bought one maybe 25 yrs. ago. I pretty much only buy British mags and Sport Auto (German). MT vids are getting better and better though. Maybe they've finally found their calling...
