Noted a m3 or m4 in the background and with great company so watch that space.

Maybe it's just me, but these Chris Harris things are getting a little formulaic:

* Opens with crisp voice-over about car(s)
* Road driving, Chris tells us it looks ok, but he can't judge that
* Track driving, Chris tells us that this is proper kit and we see lots of 60 fps of him drifting and doing burn outs and laughing

Kinda getting old.

I'm liking Carlos Lago much better and his geek-out series is great - feel like I learn stuff

I can agree with this.. I'll still watch CH because it's entertaining but the Geek Out series is pretty cool and educational.

To me, Chris is the best in the business. Id rank my opinion of car reviewers as follows:

1) Chris Harris
2) Steve Sutcliffe
3) Matt Farah
4) Carlos Lago
5) Sam Smith
6) Dan Neil
.....
38) Jalopnik

Agreed, I much prefer Carlos Lago. His M3 Geek out is still one of my favorites.

The problem with Harris is he provides zero data, and no new info.

The reason Carlos and Randy are great is because Carlos does instrumented testing with the same equipment so you can see actual data and compare across cars as well as get Carlos' opinion on how it compares.

Then Randy track drives it, but it's instrumented and he gives you a play by play of what's happening on the track and how the car feels.

Carlos Lago is okaaayy I guess

It annoys me that I've heard him describe engines or exhausts as, "sing song," or lack there of, on over 1000000x occasions already
