Do you people have hearing issues or something? In every single video, Jay says the job title (it also literally pops up on screen, in front of them) of the person he's interviewing, and every time he interviews an actual engineer involved in the hand-on development of the project there are always people in the comments referring to the interviewee as a "rep", which is VERY different from an actual hands-on engineer that participated in the entire development of the car from day one. In this case, and many others, the "rep" was the Executive Chief Engineer for the development of this vehicle, so *obviously* he is going to know more than anyone else in the company about this vehicle. I agree that it's great to see companies no longer sending interns or salesmen that were sent a 1-2 page brief sheet of talking points to repeat endlessly, but if you payed attention at all to the guy's title when it was mentioned then it shouldn't be surprising or noteworthy at all that he is so knowledgeable about the vehicle.

I've always liked Jay Leno. He's a great host and has a genuine passion for cars. His knowledge is incredible. He seems real and down to earth.

I loved the bit where Jay was discussing pricing of the regular base 400HP Escalade during the ride along and the V-Series chief engineer sitting next to him replied deadpan "...yeah, the base Escalade is great..." without any enthusiasm whatsoever in his voice or facial expression, and then he immediately went silent and stared straight ahead (just like an actor after delivering his line, waiting for the director to call "cut"). You can tell that the dude's a pure car guy, and that statement was just as painful for him to recite as something like "...yeah, the Toyota Prius is AWESOME!"

I agree, going electric is the wrong move (atleast for 100% of their lineup). I can see going EV for the daily/disposable cars, but still making the lower-production sports cars with a combustion v8 & a manual. I'm tired of all these companies jumping on board with this green agenda lie. The c02 emission laws are on a company-wide basis.. so going mostly EV would still allow someone like Cadillac to make ICE Escalades & Blackwings. Do people not realize we still have to burn huge amounts of coal & oil to make electricity? And to make batteries? Not to mention the fact that we dont have the infrastructure to charge that many EV's, nor the electricity to power all of them🤦‍♂️

The Saturday Night Joke An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'
