Does anyone have Motor Trend OnDemand? I'm not going to lie, the content actually looks pretty good, but its tough to justify paying for that when it seems like you get a whole lot more via Netflix (not to mention, a lot of the content from MotorTrend, albeit a year or so later).
Thoughts?

I have MotorTrend OnDemand and I personally feel like it's worth the money. What they're putting out on Netflix is about 2-3 years old, actually so you're way behind. Roadkill is up to Season 6 and they only have Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix.

All of the major shows come on YouTube though a month later that you get on MotorTrend OnDemand. There is still a lot of extra content you get in addition to that, but honestly the only things I watch is Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Dirt Every Day, Hot Rod Garage, and House of Muscle. The only additional "unique" content I watch are the Roadkill and Dirt Every Day Extra, which is a daily 10-30min single shot with one of the hosts. Freiburger talks a lot about his other cars you don't see often and gives a lot of updates in between filming you don't get to see.

In summary - if you're a huge fan of some of the shows, it's worth it. For most though, it's really just as well to wait for it to come out on YouTube and watch it.
