Excellent point. GM flat out refused to let Doug DeMuro do a review of the C8 Corvette before they hit dealerships when every other "serious, credible automotive media outlet" had already driven it and written their reports. GM flat out told Doug they consider him more of a novelty act on youtube who does silly 5 cent reviews and without automotive intelligence.

What GM ignored is that Doug has 2 million subscribers and before he had his youtube channel he was a distribution manager for Porsche North America. He may be young but he's an intelligent and credible automotive journalist.
