How do you guys feel about the insane commercialization? Honestly, for me, part of why the videos were so cool originally is because they were just driving. This still doesn't feel like a commercial, with the amount of cheesiness, but I think the cheese is too over the top. Discuss!

I think the concept is old now. The first couple vids were exciting. But now it's just same guy, similar car, similar drifty tricks. It's been done.

I agree on all your guys' points. The driving is still impressive, but the videos are 'meh' now.
