Together with Dacia, Matthias Malmedie is showing the limited Duster Mat Edition on Friday on Facebook.
However, not all fans of the moderator like that.
When it comes to cars, there is hardly a way around Matthias Malmedie in Germany.
In addition to the Grip car magazine, the presenter produces new videos for his YouTube channel every week.
And he is also a regular starter at other events, such as the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.
Now Matthias Malmedie has teamed up with Dacia and is presenting a very special Dacia in a live stream on Friday.
The Renault subsidiary introduced the Duster Mat Edition last October.
As the name suggests, the SUV comes in all-matte black, giving it “a distinctive style,” as Dacia emphasizes on its website.
Only 225 vehicles of the "collector's edition" are to be built.
Matthias Malmedie presents Nobel-Dacia: Most expensive Duster ever
The live stream with Matthias Malmedie can be seen on Friday (3 March) from 6 p.m. on the Dacia Germany Facebook page.
However, the Renault subsidiary does not reveal what exactly happens at the event.
And the grip moderator is also cryptic: "You can really look forward to it, because there are really a few blatant facts that make it very special."

In any case, one thing is clear: with a basic price of 26,400 euros, the Duster Matt Edition is likely to be “the most expensive Dacia of all time”.
However, the new "Nobel" SUV is not as popular with Matthias Malmedie's fans, unlike the Fiat Multipla.
Or a promotion by the Romanians in Great Britain.
Top 10: The ten most popular cars in Germany
10th place - Tesla Model Y (35,426 new registrations): Only one purely electric car made it into the top 10 of new registrations in Germany in 2022 - and that comes from Tesla.
The Model Y, which is now also being built in Germany – in the Gigafactory in Grünheide near Berlin, has been sold more than 35,000 times.

9th place – BMW 3 Series (36,231 new registrations): At the beginning of the 2000s, the BMW 3 Series was still well above the 100,000 mark in the new registration statistics.
But then came the SUV and numerous new model variants such as the 4 Series, which gnawed at the sales figures of the 3 Series.
With 9th place, the Munich player still made it into the top 10 in 2022.

8th place - Ford Kuga (38,482 new registrations): Hardly any car manufacturer can afford not to have an SUV in their range these days - not even Ford. Many drivers prefer easy access and a high seating position.
With the Kuga, Ford took 8th place in the KBA's new registration statistics.

7th place – VW Passat (39,261 new registrations): For a long time, the Passat was considered the classic company car.
Of course, the practical combination shape is also well suited for families.
Nevertheless, many now prefer the SUV.
That's why the Passat isn't as successful as it was a few years ago.
In 2011, for example, the Wolfsburg-based company was even further ahead with more than 100,000 new registrations.

Driving record of a MiniPlatz 6 - Mini (40,142 new registrations): Few new editions of cars are as successful as the Mini, which was breathed new life under the leadership of BMW.
To this day, the vehicles are very popular - and it is enough for 6th place among new registrations.
The Mini is available in many different versions - but the KBA does not differentiate between the models.

An Opel CorsaRank 5 - Opel Corsa (50,191 new registrations): In the small car segment, the Opel Corsa was something of the eternal number two behind the VW Polo - but it didn't even make it into the top 10 in 2022.
The staying power has now paid off for the Corsa - with a proud 5th place in the new registrations.
Around 15,000 of these were for the E version of the little Rüsselsheimer.

A Fiat 500 4th place - Fiat 500 (52,337 new registrations): A small Italian has made it to fourth place in Germany.
Quite surprising: Because small cars are actually hardly in demand.
However, its popularity has to do with the fact that it is also available in an electric version - and only a few electric vehicles are still available in this category.
For example, 29,653 of the 52,337 Fiat 500s newly registered in 2022 are purely electric.

A VW T-RocRank 3 – VW T-Roc (58,942 new registrations): Volkswagen makes up the top 3 among themselves.
The T-Roc just missed second place: VW sold just 194 fewer units than the Tiguan.
The compact SUV is due for a facelift next year – it may then be enough for more.

Driving recording of a VW TiguanPlace 2 - VW Tiguan (59,136 new registrations): SUVs are still a bestseller in Germany - this is also shown by the runner-up in new registrations in 2022. However, the current Tiguan generation is now coming to an end - already in the next A successor is to be launched this year.
© Volkswagen
A VW GolfPlatz 1 - VW Golf (84,282 new registrations): It is not for nothing that the compact class is also called the Golf class - the Wolfsburg is and remains the number 1. However, its time seems to be running out, because not so long ago the top dog was still ranked with more than 200,000 new registrations in first place.
Can he really make it to the top again in 2023?

Matthias Malmedie presents Nobel-Dacia: "Now you're getting levelless"
There are many mocking and critical comments under the post on his Facebook page.
"No, we're definitely not seeing each other.
Such carts are dissed, basically," says one user.
Another even addresses the moderator personally because of the cooperation: "Now you're getting levelless!"
You can find even more exciting automotive topics in our free newsletter, which you can subscribe to right here.
But there are also other opinions: “Very few of those complaining here have ever driven one, let alone counted.
But really big sayings knock.
Great cinema.” The development is also praised, because the Romanians are now building “really good and solid cars with the latest technology,” as a Facebook user finds.
Another is at least looking forward to “funny videos”.
