Yes, that’s right, the DougScore: a new rating system that I’ll tack on to the end of my videos, in order to give you a better idea of exactly what I think of each car — beyond simply “this thing is really cool,” or “this thing is pretty stupid,” or “this thing is so bad it’s almost a Hummer H2.” With the DougScore, I’ll actually quantify what I think of each car I review, in virtually every video I make — and this will give you one more item you can use to argue with me.

If you’re worried about this change, don’t be: I’m not changing anything else in my videos. I’m still going to point out all the quirks. I’m still going to drive the car. I’m still going to laugh at huge panel gaps. I’m just going to add a little section at the end of each video where I give the car a the DougScore. There might be music. There will certainly be a graphic. Skip it, if you want.

So how does the DougScore work? There are 10 separate categories, and they’re each judged on a scale of 1 through 10 — with “1” being the worst, and “10” being the best, meaning the highest possible DougScore is 100. The ten categories are split into two separate groups: “Weekend” and “Daily.” The “Weekend” categories measure a car’s appeal to enthusiasts; in other words, how much fun it would be to drive on the weekend. The “Daily” categories meanwhile, focus on a car’s livability and practicality.

Each car is judged against all other cars, and not only its segment. That’s an important point, because it means these categories aren’t relative, but rather absolute: the car with the very highest DougScore is the best overall car I’ve ever driven, and the car with the lowest is the worst. The car with the highest “Weekend” score is the best enthusiast car I’ve driven; the car with the highest “Daily” score is the most practical and livable car I’ve driven.
