After being at Laguna Seca with all the Porsche people & cars, you'd think
the correct pronunciation would evolve, besides he owns a Carrera GT!
Also, the video is used on the Porsche Face Book site to promote the
Panamera, i.e. Maybe Porsche's cash flow problems have constrained Porsche
Marketing. Leno's just the guy to get a review from, please! Hopefully
Porsche does well irrespective of his review (?) and/or his 'off-the-wall' comments:

Americans wouldn't buy cheap hatchbacks; will they buy an expensive one? Do the Chinese and Saudis like it? I know the engine's in the front, but to me it's still a 91111 or maybe a LWB 928.

i saw this video a little while back and personally i don't think jay likes it . i think he is just being kind ... I just get the feeling he is not overly impressed.

I saw and drove the car at Laguna - not 100% wild over the styling - but it's better in person than on paper. The drive on the otherhand is 100% awesome. The panamera is one mean machine - very roomy on the inside and a whole lot of fun on the laureles grade!

Overly Impressed. Two words that would be hard to come by for Mr Leno on the subject of automobiles.

He definitely didn't like it and 100% had a big hangover!

If you are from Mass, it is a Porsh. That would even be considered correct in a dealership, in that they wouldn't correct you.

i wouldn't correct anybody who was about to give me $100,000 for a car

Jay has my respect on the subject of cars, even if he is a "Poorsh" pronouncer. He's earned it. I don't think I'd defer my own judgment to him as if he were Norbert Singer, or even Alois Ruf, but he isn't a mere poser. If he likes the Panamera, you know he is nevertheless aware of and fully appreciative of Porsche's legacy of racing, the legendary Porsche agility, reliability, engineering excellence, brakes, and so on.

And what's that reference to Jennifer Lopez all about?

theiceman

i didn't watch the while thing but i would think it is refering to the rather large rear end ..

I don't think Jay is really into P-cars although he has a CGT. His collection is all over the place as far as marque is concerned. I remember when he was reviewing a GT3 at his Jay's garage site. He mentioned, I understand this thing has the "carbon fiber brakes".
