The president seems a bit fuzzy on the facts but I'd chalk that up to 'Omg I'm on camera with Jay Leno!', confirmation of the 7-Speed manual is nice. Some lovely shots and Jay seems very taken with it.

Missed opportunity when the 'guest' knows more than the head of US AM - a real shame.
I agree with some of the posts on YT - AM could have really scored some points by having a knowledgeable person who just happened to be female - I applaud AM for not having the normal stereotype male leader, but please at least educate your external facing staff on the product - or keep them in the office - regardless of gender.
I actually switched off after the weight question as I was cringing - the right answer was '3373 lb Jay'.

AM should be embarrassed to have sent such an unconvincing non-enthusiast to represent the brand with Jay Leno. I'm sure she is a great president, however all that came across to me was 'marketing & sales'. Even my wife said that! I was looking forward to some interesting technical details and highlights/perspectives etc but the most salient thing she said was that some of the seamstresses like drawing little pictures on the backs of the leather they stitch if they are proud their work.
Compare this lady to the COO engineer that Lambo sent when Jay Leno drove the Perfomante. He talked about details like the special tyres developed with Pirelli that improved lateral grip due to their flatter block sections etc for example. He was actually educational.
Anyway, at least Jay Leno thought the new Vantage was great.
