Did this guy really just compare the GTS, which was a 40 year old platform, to a 2017 911R and a F-car? And he is not going to compare it to a 1994 911? Or a 1994 Corvette?

What a complete and utter monkey.

Nice find.

I don't mind Doug. He is goofy, but I have always enjoyed his work since he was with Jalopnik. I thought his review was pretty accurate (except for the rear sun visors, duh) and at least he had done a good bit of research on the car. I've seen lots of videos where the reviewers where clueless about the cars they were reviewing and their history.

This is the first "old" car he has "Doug scored" and he did point out he is scoring it against modern car standards. So yeah, its overall score doesn't really mean anything at this point. However if he continues to review older cars I imagine it would fair well.

Can't stand that guy. What a fvcking retard. Stopped looking at Jalopnik after he joined them Not sure if he;s still there or not. He's a total and complete waste of time. I want my 8:00 back. Sadly, they are gone.

BC,

That presenter is what a Cockney [a chap from the East End of London] would call a "Shirt Front". Political correctness prevents me from using the appropriate [British] noun.

Who hires these guys yet alone pays them a living?

I traded emails with him a few months ago offering him my car to review if he ever made it out west.

Looks like I planted a bug.

Think the review was kinda accurate, he did it 'his' way. But missing so many aspects of this GTS, not a single shot of the engine! How do you do a car review and not talk more about its 5.4L engine?

He talks like a tweaker! After about 20 seconds, I'd have to bitch slap him!!!

Annoying as hell! Why do these idiots have to compare a 928 that's over 2 decades old to a new sport car?

IF I strapped his *** into my Pantera, he'd be pissing all over his self! But he's so annoying I couldn't stand to be around him at all. He's a dogdick.
