Setting their sights on the SQ5, Mercedes-Benz looks to steal some sales from the venerable Audi performance SUV with their all-new GLC43. Sporting a sweet bi-turbo V6, an upscale and tach laden cabin, and one of the quickest shifting 9-speed transmission in the business, it should be at the top of your list, at least until Audi gives us a new Q5 in the coming years.

It may not be the Mazdaspeed Miata you were all hoping for, but the new retractable fastback model was pretty enough for Mazda to be awarded the 2016 World Car Design of the Year. Those of you looking for Porsche looks, the security of a hard-top, and driving fun should seriously have the new Miata RF at the top of your list.

**And NO, our Editor-in-Chief will NOT be trading his for this new one ;)**

Showcasing an entirely new styling direction for Acura, the 2017 MDX gets some much needed changes to the design, interior features, and safety tech. Throw in an all-new 3.0L 3-motor hybrid drivetrain and it looks like Acura may finally be finding its “mojo” back. Those of you who need 7 seats and don’t want to pay an outrageous amount of money for its German competitors should add one to the top of your shopping list.

No longer happy with lost sales to its American competitor, Toyota looks to offer the best Prius ever with the 2017 Prime. As a replacement for the slow-selling plug-in model, the company is promising double the electric range, improved driving dynamics, and a new “Tesla-like” screen in the center stack.

Hey I’m finally on Patreon! Please SUPPORT MY CAUSE: https://www.patreon.com/TheKingOfRandom

With over 5 Million YouTube subscribers, why am I just starting a Patreon page now? Read Why↓↓

To this point, everything you’ve seen on my channel has been me. The graphics, the video, the projects, the editing, the scripts, the voiceovers .. everything. But doing this all by myself is exhausting, and I need some help.

For the last 5 years I’ve dedicated my entire life to exploring, testing, creating and producing 3-4 unique project videos every month to help spread knowledge, creativity, and inspiration to the world.

My wife will verify that I’ve worked on projects and videos an average of 8-12 hours a day, 6 days a week for the last 5 years, and recently, I resigned from my professional career to eliminate all distractions, and focus 100% on more projects, videos, and making my channel the absolute best it can be.

Supporting me on Patreon will ease the burden of production, and give me more time to devote to new projects, and better content for you!

I intend to invest every Patreon dollar I receive, back into my Patrons, and back into my YouTube channel. That means more giveaways, more content, digital downloads, new products, and anything else you’d like to suggest, that would be fun, exciting, and purposeful.

With your support I’ll hire editors, graphic designers, script writers, and whatever it takes to keep “The King of Random” videos top quality, and at a maximum, without having to spend 70% of my efforts on the production itself. With this extra time, I may even be able to double the amount of projects I can create and get produced!

My vision here is to focus all of my creative efforts on experimenting and bringing new projects to the table, without the burden and distractions of quality video production.

With your donations I’ll be able to expand my brand and make things like a real website, plenty more Project PDFs, and have more time to answer pressing questions and comments.

You can choose how much to pledge per month to support my projects, and adjust or cancel the amount any time with no obligation.

You’ll have immediate access to my activity feed, and any indicated rewards the instant you pledge. (https://www.patreon.com/TheKingOfRandom)

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support, and I’m excited to see where we can take this with you on board!
