Transcript
00:00Today we're going to see who is your favorite supercar and luxury brand
00:04based on how many follows they have on social media.
00:13I am your host primo and I am here to talk to you about supercars and luxury cars.
00:18I know it's an addiction. It is what I do. It is how I just do way too much research
00:25on things that probably really don't matter. But this is what I do and have a lot of fun doing
00:29it. So I hope you enjoy it. So what I did was I went to three, the big three, I call them Facebook,
00:36Instagram, and YouTube. I know everybody's saying, well, why don't you go to TikTok? Well,
00:40if your age group of the people viewing is too young to even drive a vehicle, I didn't count it.
00:47And the thing is Facebook and Instagram and YouTube have the highest kind of ratings when
00:52it comes to websites and the biggest viewership. And they can also do the different platforms. So
00:57they can do shorts, they can do long form videos, they can do pictures, posts, articles, all that
01:02stuff. You can pretty much get any of it on Instagram and YouTube. I didn't want to spend a
01:06lot of time going to their websites and stuff like that and figuring that out that way, because a lot
01:11of that is measured on, I am in the market, you're doing research, you're going to go to their
01:16website. So I think a lot of that information is biased. When you see people that have signed up
01:21for a website, I am under the impression that they love that brand and want to see more from it and
01:28maybe down the road. But regardless, I didn't follow, even if I bought a car that I was not
01:35a big fan of, I've owned a Cadillac in the past, I didn't follow Cadillac until not long ago. So
01:41that to me tells me that people who are viewing stuff, even if they can't afford it, are usually
01:46going to be the followers. And that's the thing, how well is your brand loved? It really does come
01:52down to that. And I think social media, even though it can be manipulated a little bit with
01:56marketing, I think it really is, it shows what you've put the work into. So let's take a look
02:02at it right now and see what we got. This is going to be from lowest to highest. And the first one is
02:06going to be the lowest luxury car. And that would be Genesis. They only got 607,900 for the views
02:16or for followers on their media. And I really am confused by this. A lot of people, I think,
02:23felt that Genesis, I think it was in the Hyundai shadow, if you will. So it kind of hurt them from
02:28that respect. But you have to understand that this brand does have good, I think, good reliability now.
02:35And I really hope to see this number go up. Maybe it is what they said is it's a younger group and
02:41it needs more time to flourish. The only thing I see a problem with them is the same thing
02:46with every luxury car is the depreciation is horrendous. But as a driving car, it's one of
02:52those ones that I definitely drive until the wheels fell off, which is typical of that, I want
02:57to say that niche of market, if you will. But yeah, hopefully move up in the future. The next one is
03:03the lowest EV and that's Lucid. They only had 627,000 people that were viewing their followership.
03:10It just seemed like they really kind of didn't. They're one-sided marketing. Maybe they're
03:17newer. This one was kind of tough to read and the EVs were all other than Tesla was really down on
03:24the list. So, well, hopefully Lucid moves up a little bit more because I'd like to see them more
03:28in the Rolls Royce territory. But anyway, for the lowest supercar or super EV, if you will,
03:35we got Rimac and they were at 794,000. I mean, these guys haven't even broke the 1 million mark.
03:42Again, somebody said this was because it was kind of new. Rimac's been around for a while and also
03:48it basically runs Bugatti right now. I mean, all the design work that Bugatti puts into cars
03:55is done because Rimac is there and pretty much running the ship, if you will. I could be wrong
04:00on that if you do correct me in the comments, but I just think that they have a bigger hand in this
04:06than people think. But yeah, 794,000. Maybe they're just putting their eggs in another basket and
04:12not really pushing it, which seemed to make sense. I did want to give a shout out here to Lotus.
04:17Lotus was down here at 1,204,000 and that just kind of seemed really low for me. I really like
04:24Lotus for the supercar brand. They were kind of the non-EV ones. They were the lowest on the list
04:31and that was kind of like that. I think that brand deserved a little bit more. Then we start getting
04:38into kind of the domestic areas of luxury and then we kind of moved up from there with the Cadillac,
04:44which really kind of took off above anything else with 7,205,000. Cadillac has a lot of
04:52brand loyalty and has a long, rich heritage, if you will. I still love the newer Cadillacs.
04:59I still think some of the stuff that they put out really has a different mindset. That kind of
05:04changed. I forgot what year it was in 2006, 2007. They really started to change things around a
05:10little bit and the old Cadillacs that I was not a big fan of, like anything pre-70 I was in, but
05:16then after they kind of doing that and the CTSVs and that kind of thing, I think that really took
05:21off. I think a lot of this was really at the forefront of social media and it really picked
05:27up a lot. I think that heritage that people follow, I think they still follow it. I think
05:32there's still a lot of Cadillac fan guys out there and there's nothing wrong with that.
05:36But yeah, the Lincolns and the Buicks, they were way down for. Was it Lincoln had 2 million,
05:41Buick had a million too. They're not even in the runnings here. But as we move up here,
05:46we started getting through like 19th was Alfa Romeo, 18th was Audi. The first kind of hypercar,
05:53if you will, was Pagani. I didn't really put them at the bottom. Rimac kind of took that
05:58kind of hypercar thing and made it the lowest. But Pagani's being in 17th is still pretty good,
06:04$6,764,000. So with Koenigsegg being up next with $8,704,000, they're just above Cadillac.
06:12But the next place was 14th position was the top when it came to what I call the Japanese or tuner
06:19style vehicles with Lexus with $9,859,000. Great following, no shocker there. It's one of those
06:27cars that's just well-loved around the block. It's a luxury car you buy and drive until the
06:34wheels fall off. So it doesn't even shock me that that's in there. The top EV was Tesla,
06:40which was actually in 13th position. They finally got into the double digits on the
06:45millions with $12,546,000. That is actually a big move for them. They had never had very much
06:54traction before and they really picked it up. And funny enough on Facebook, they only have
06:59276,000 views. It seems like most of their views are coming from Instagram and YouTube.
07:05So yeah, that's a big deal. Was it 96 million here or is it nine? Yeah. So close to 9 million
07:13in 20. Let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so 2,670,000 and then 9 million for Instagram. So the other
07:21one was YouTube. Yeah, all those numbers have really gone up since we've last looked at them.
07:27It's hard to believe, but then we start getting into McLaren was 12th place, Bentley 11th,
07:33Rolls-Royce 10th, Aston 9th. So for the premium, I was kind of shocked here. The premium luxury,
07:39I want to say kind of the Uber luxury brands were Jaguar with $33,357,000. Maserati was next
07:48with $20,000,000. So they really did crush it. And these are two numbers that kind of confused
07:54me here because Jaguar, I've been hearing that they didn't do as well normally, but they have
08:02a ton of followers. Then Maserati, who Stellantis is saying they're going to offload because it's
08:06not a marketable, not marketable, but a profitable brand. And then they had me followed up with
08:13Rolls-Royce and Bentley right after with $15,000,000 and then $14,000,000 a piece.
08:19Just something's wrong with that. Bentley has been doing their stuff
08:23predominantly talking about sustainability, which never works out in their favor. Rolls-Royce has
08:29been kind of pushing the Spectre. I think more that those brands could do is more with experiencing
08:35their vehicles. Aston Martin, again, a company that should be doing a lot better. They do very
08:42well with their SUVs. But then Maserati, like I said, people are talking about actually Maserati
08:48and here it is second from the top. So here's Jaguar at the top of the list here. And I don't
08:54know, I hope it's doing better. I just, I haven't done it now at this. I feel like I have to do some
08:58more research, but you guys love Jaguar apparently and you love Maserati. So there it is. But next up
09:06is, and now remember some people said Porsche, you know, Porsche was next in the fifth position
09:12with 44, excuse me, 44 million followers on it. But I just see Porsche as a supercar brand just
09:21because it rides off the 911. I didn't really see it as, some people said luxury. I didn't see that.
09:26Everybody calls the big three, if you will, Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren, McLaren, which came in 12th.
09:32But that's the thing is, is I don't really see, I saw more of a Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, which is
09:38the lineup that we got with Porsche with 44 million, Ferrari with 47 million and Lamborghini
09:44with 51,860,000. So Lamborghini put in the top spot for supercars. That doesn't shock me at all.
09:51Lamborghini support for advertising has been incredible. Ferrari really kind of features
09:57its racing heritage and it does a little bit with its clothing stuff. But these two brands,
10:02especially while Porsche tries to hit everybody and kind of look at their older stuff,
10:08Lamborghini, Ferrari basically has the two kinds of advertising, the people who are their buyers
10:12and the people who should be buying their stuff. So if you're a fan that likes to buy shirts and
10:17things of that nature, they, or video games, they are, you know, involved, at least Lamborghini is
10:23on that front. And that really puts Lamborghini ahead because it continues to say yes to everything
10:29that pretty much comes across its table. While Ferrari kind of does that, but it doesn't focus
10:34so much on its cars as it does with its racing division. Now I need to add a caveat that I'm
10:41seeing that change a lot. So Ferrari may, I mean, they may be coming for them. Maybe it's 47 million
10:47is knocking on the door because it's a lot higher than the Porsche one. Maybe that's the, I think
10:53that would be a good move on their part. So in second place for full luxury was BMW. So 59 million
11:00811,000. But number one place, which I don't think many people are going to be shocked was Mercedes
11:05Benz with 63 million, 730,000. Mercedes Benz, just it's Mercedes, AMG, all the stuff that they have
11:16for advertising, all the stuff they do with hyper car. There's literally nothing that they don't
11:21follow. So that puts the German guys well ahead of the Italians. Very interesting to say that I
11:28thought the Italians would have more of a run at them. But I think they did okay. Not bad. We're
11:32still up in the 63 million area. Now, one thing I think we should add here, obviously who had the
11:39best platform of two thirds of the platform guys out there using Instagram. I think this is a place
11:44where you can really grow. It looks as though a lot of them put emphasis into brands like YouTube
11:50and they kind of flash in the pan thing. They don't dedicate a lot of time to it. BMW only had
11:57what was it 311,000 followers on YouTube while YouTube for Mercedes was like 19 million.
12:07That's going to be a huge push. The other thing is experiencing cars.
12:13One thing that we see a lot with these brands is we just see constantly cars, cars, cars.
12:19And if you ever watch any kind of show out there, you'll know people want people, people, people.
12:24So I really think that brands like Mercedes could do, and I do see them changing it, featuring some
12:30of your drivers and race divisions, getting in your cars and taking spins in them and giving us
12:34input and constantly doing that. Don't just kind of hit something and then leave it. Don't make it
12:40a metal object. I know that really works for guys, but it doesn't really work for the general public.
12:45I think people want to see people and I think that's hurt them overall, but that's not,
12:5163 million is not bad, but I really think that these numbers could be a lot higher
12:58if these brands put more emphasis into it. And to me, these numbers were not very shocking.
13:05I do see a lot of this stuff the way it is, like Instagram being the leading of the pack,
13:10Facebook coming in second, YouTube coming in some places a dismal third.
13:18I do think it's places where we could see where here's your viewers, here's where they are.
13:23Let's do a little bit more content oriented stuff. And I could see these numbers up,
13:28but you really start to see why people love a product and what they love it for. Ferrari,
13:34Porsche, I think especially Mercedes racing divisions are huge for these guys. They love
13:40racing and a lot of these people don't do the racing stuff anymore. And it really did. I think
13:47it made a difference. I think that's why Rolls and Bentley are so far down the line is because
13:52I think Bentley probably has its numbers where it's right next to McLaren. So here's where you
13:57guys can put a lot. McLaren, I think puts too much emphasis on just their racing and not enough in
14:02other places. So here's your opportunity to tell like Maybach in the day used to show you what it
14:07was like to go into a dealership and actually buy a car to sit down with like Ferrari, Atelier or
14:14Lamborghini ad personam and sit down and this is what it's like to build a car. People don't even
14:18realize you've been able to do that with Porsche for a while now. Here's the opportunity to show
14:23people the differences in these cars and some of the price point differences and why they are the
14:28way they are. Things like European delivery never really pushed. Some guys are saying what is that?
14:35It's in another video. We'll show it to you later. But yeah, all this stuff that I think that we saw
14:40here really does show some of this brand knowledge that a lot of people don't have. And I don't think
14:48these places realize that some people identify with their cars and that's huge. So I hope to
14:56see some of this stuff move up and if we don't then it is what it is and it was great to check
15:01it out and see where everybody stands. So where did you think? Put it in the comments. Where did
15:06your brand land when it all came about? Love to see it. If not make sure you like and subscribe.
15:12If you liked everything here hit the like button. Share this out. See what everybody else thinks. We'd
15:16love to see what everybody feels is their favorite brand and why. And if you thought this was a
15:23shocking list at all either. Until then we'll see you next time and we're going to get some
15:27other product and other discussion. But you know that'll be for another video. We'll talk to you
15:32then.
