If you're a car enthusiast or know someone who is, A&E's 'Top 10 Cars That Changed the Automobile Industry' DVD is a decent pick for a nostalgic dive into automotive history. The video does a solid job highlighting classic pre-1960 cars, which are undeniably iconic. However, its modern-era picks feel questionable—like featuring the Toyota Corona over the Camry? That raised my eyebrows.
The DVD arrived on time and in good condition (though one reviewer got a library copy—yikes!). It’s perfect for gifting, especially to older car lovers who enjoy flipping through automotive nostalgia. My father-in-law, a retired car salesman, keeps it by his chair for casual browsing.
That said, don’t expect groundbreaking insights. The footage dates back to 1998, and some selections haven’t aged well (Jeep Wagoneer over the Ford Explorer?). It’s fun for sparking debates but lacks depth for hardcore gearheads. I’d love an updated version with more recent game-changers like Teslas or hybrids.
Verdict: A cozy watch for casual fans, but don’t expect repeat viewings. Great as a gift, but maybe not worth shelf space long-term.
