Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Driveway Dreams Ep. 4 | HOT ROD Gets a ’58 Chevy Apache Running Again | MotorTrend

MotorTrend Channel has seven million subscribers, more than most of the car channels around it, yet it posts one of the calmer daily view counts in the group. The busy ones are elsewhere. Mat Armstrong is pulling more than four million views a day, and Westen Champlin and Cleetus McFarland are also running hot. TheStradman keeps a pace much closer to MotorTrend's.

Four uploads went up. "Driveway Dreams Ep. 4 | HOT ROD Gets a ’58 Chevy Apache Running Again | MotorTrend" came first and has the most views of the batch. Two days later, "The Toyota Supra Is About to Die—Can the Nissan Z NISMO Finally Beat It?" arrived with a quick first day and has since edged ahead on daily pace. The Bentley Torcal first look and the Rogue e-Power hybrid update stayed quieter.

One older video is still doing its share. "Tested! 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance: This Is How America Does Affordable Speed Today" is two weeks old and remains the third-busiest thing on the channel. The subscriber count held level.
