    Pretty over the top voice over work. I felt like I was watching the Food Network, but the car edition.

    It's Motor Week. He has been using that same voice on every review since 1981.

    The 1st episode of Motorweek.

    [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXM199GKYg"]MotorWeek | Retro Review: Season 1 Episode 1 - YouTube[/ame]

    The show was filmed at the studios of Channel 67 outside of Baltimore. I lived only a few miles away. We'd often see them filming.

    I remember when it was the only car show on. It was on PBS on Saturdays.

    Reply still stands. Kind of reminds of Marc Summers voice work. While being clear (good thing) the inflections are monotonous. But, that just one mans personal opinion. I just think James Earl Jones would have done the voice over work better :D

    Try driving that thing in 3-5 years and report back how many times you had it taken to the dealership. If you still have it report back in 11 years like us R53 owners. :devil::ihih:
