Jaguar's missing frunk gives Auto Focus plenty to question
Marques Brownlee weighs the Type 01's enormous front end against its storage, wheels and price in a bush-side conversation.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Jaguar might be cooked.
Marques Brownlee emerges from the bushes to field a question about a new Jaguar, then finds himself puzzling over what isn't under its long nose. No front trunk? That becomes a sticking point in "Jaguar might be cooked.", Auto Focus's most active video right now.
The short, playfully staged conversation runs through the Type 01's stated specifications before reaching its $130,000 price. Brownlee questions the combination of design and value, suggests a less powerful, cheaper version, and considers how the large wheels affect acceleration. It's a reaction to the reveal, not a road test, with an off-camera questioner feeding him details along the way.
Auto Focus posted nothing new this week, but that Jaguar discussion is supplying more daily views than the other uploads currently gathering the most momentum. "Marques Finally Learns to Drive a Manual" remains active too, alongside "Slate Truck First Look: The $25,000 Modular EV!", a walk-around and drive filmed on an iPhone. The contrast is useful: an expensive Jaguar provoking questions about value, and a modular truck introduced around affordability.
The channel added about 20,000 subscribers over the week, even as its daily views ran well below their usual pace. Nearby in the motoring neighborhood, Junkyard Digs was close to its normal daily viewing level, while Gears and Gasoline and Mat Watson Cars were having slower days. For Auto Focus, the week's viewing came entirely from the existing library, with Brownlee's Jaguar questions doing the most work.
