    I like the video reviews. If there is a video review I don't usually read the text because it's all in the video. Also, I can watch these during lunch or while sitting on the couch at home. Sure, you can't consume the info as fast, but the video does communicate more than the text and photos. Besides, I feel for this guy going through all the trouble of making a video review, then having to write out and the text.

    I love Alex's video reviews, and prefer them to the text-only reviews. (I read TTAC from home, though, so I don't have the issue of not being able to watch videos from work.) I'd much rather see the car "in person," so to speak, though I also appreciate the fact that written reviews can often provide information and feedback more efficiently. A blend of the two is probably the best way to go.
