Probably because of Top Gear. I think there's a review coming out in the new season. I actually preferred his YouTube channel prior to the whole Top Gear thing. No gimmicks and more immediate reviews.

100% agree. Top Gear is brutal, no longer watchable.

He doesn't seem the type to try and hide in a wingless wonder.

But to me that is a sign of a car enthusiast for whom it is all about enjoyment vs value.

he seems to have very similar car taste as me usually and I like his reviews when he does it well. Some are rushed lately, or way late like GT2RS..
Oh he still regrets it. Right up until the point he buys it back.

Yes, but now he actually makes money for his work. YouTube advertising doesn't pay.

He's a broke car enthusiast, thinks of everything in terms of monthly payments...

I’m afraid you’re the one who is late to the party. He is no longer a youtuber but is paid top dollar to go back in time to work for old school tv which sadly still think they can do it the old fashion way and end up half a year late...

I met Chris a couple years back at the Bahrain GP when he was still a starving YouTube/Drive TV star but doing his best work.

Now he's hit the mother-load but I miss his feel wheeling style.

Honestly can't blame him, money talks.

PS the weekend he was in Bahrain he filmed the Drive TV special to the top of Jebel Jais

looks like Jet Metallic Black to me. My 2016 Spyder is that color and it does have some metallic flakes under certain lighting & angles. Mark

i think they are from the factory. They would probably paint them pink for him if he desires, as he is Chris Harris which won’t apply to the rest of us. Mark
