Nice video - except that guy needs to grow a pair. Heavy steering, gas pedal & clutch??? My Scirocco has heavier steering & shifter.

I enjoyed that! A nice, well-considered take on the car and its charms. But what's up with the comment about the switches designed for fat, American fingers?!?

The most annoying thing was when the complete show aired he gave the 0-60 times, top speed etc. on the other cars and not on the 928!!!

I still call it "Poorshe" because "Por-Sha" sounds gay. I also call the 928 "Nine Twenty Eight".

I just pronounce it Porsh, I know it's wrong, but so is Por-sha. Plus it sounds cooler.

i love youtube for just these things.

I love video reviews, especially when its a car you own. Without youtube, I would have never seen this. And while i could have lived my life just fine had i not seen it, I certianly appreciate someone posting it.

Thanks for the link

Hmmm... I think "Wade T" sounds gay.

How can the proper pronounciation of someone's name sound gay?
