Supercar Blondie?
 
How do y'all feel about Supercar Blondie (Alex Hirschi)?

Personally, I find her to be just another pretty face, married to an extremely wealthy man, who really doesn't know much about cars. She's the antithesis of women actually in Motorsports, like Katherine Legge. But there must be something gearheads like about her or she wouldn't have over 120m followers.

Never heard of her.

Isn't she the gal that shows off all the exotic cars on Youtube?

No interest in her videos.

No interest in the latest supercars, either.

I can spend all day on Jay Leno's YouTube channel.

Ok, she is forgettable. ;)

Lol, apparently. ;)

Can't stand Supercar Blondie. I made it through about 3 minutes of one episode and never looked back

I don't mind Jodie Kidd, though. She makes some interesting videos; her affectations can get sometimes be a little grating (and the background music is horrible) but the cars and people she films are often worth the look

I first saw a few of her videos back a couple of years ago. She had lots of enthusiasm for cars, and they weren't total fluff. I haven't seen any of her videos in a while. A couple popped up some where recently. I checked them out and they seemed to have less substance and more fluff than the older videos. I assume it's hard to keep doing interesting videos about amazing cars indefinitely.

Well, that sets a new record for pedantic commentary...

Vicki Butler-Henderson from Fifth Gear should do videos. I think those would be fun to watch. I always enjoyed her on Fifth Gear. I think she's a real "car guy", cute, and comes across as having a very pleasant personality that would be great in almost any setting.

Never heard about her and have no desire to watch her content . Katherine Legge is the real deal in regards to being a racer .

Jeff Higgins 03-05-2025 07:12 AM

She pops up in my news feed on my phone, probably because I read so much car and motorcycle related content. Never her videos (I didn't even know she made them until now), just commentary on cars and bikes.

I quit reading her material quite some time ago, but it keeps popping up every now and then anyway. The worst form of clickbait nonsense. She (or whoever writes it for her) simply has no idea what she is talking about. The technical and factual errors in her content are too much to bear. Cringe worthy at best, written for folks who know nothing about cars and bikes by someone who knows nothing about cars and bikes.

cockerpunk 03-05-2025 07:13 AM

i dont follow anyone like this. boring.

aschen 03-05-2025 07:40 AM

You tube is saturated with fantastic automotive journalism from Jason cammissa, savage geese, engineering explained, harry Metcalf, etc.

She is not in this esteemed group

Skytrooper 03-05-2025 07:49 AM

Katherine Legge is the real deal ! She knows racing and has been involved as a competitor for quite some time. Some bimbo talking about cars is just that…a bimbo.

Chocaholic 03-05-2025 08:00 AM

I don't mind her...of course she doesn't have the pedigree, but the cars she takes you through are pretty amazing for the most part. There are a lot of "personalities" these days that I don't get...and she is one, but I'll certainly watch if an interesting car is the focus.

Face it, we are not her target market. But I respect that she's bringing automotive excitement to a portion of society that might otherwise simply not give a shilt. Face it folks, the next generation of car enthusiasts are not grouchy old guys that gripe about the cost of air cooled 911's from the 70's. Go to any cars-and-coffee these days and you'll see what I mean.

Jason C and Randy P are great. Chris Harris used to be a favorite as well, but I haven't seen much from him in a long time.

ErVikingo 03-05-2025 09:31 AM

She has all of those followers because she shows a lot of cool stuff. Some of her followers are not even car people

javadog 03-05-2025 09:36 AM

These latest supercars are getting obnoxious. Apart from illustrating how much money you can piss away on an ego trip, I see no use for them. I see one idling around in traffic in Dallas every once in a while, as it's owner drives to the nearest Starbucks because he has nothing better to do with it.

One of the reasons I sold many of my cars was because I no longer wanted to be seen as part of the crowd of idiots that buys these things now.
