Their commercial shows gimpses of the 928. A glimpse of the headlight and another of it scooting by on the track.

Is this a new one?
I remember seeing a 928 episode before, where they find a 928 in this guys junkyard? They did not replace the TB/WP because it looked ok.

No, we discussed this one back in August.

That's a 928 GT no less! Great that a 928 is getting the attention. But every time I make an attempt to watch this show I can't make it more than 2 minutes before I have to change the channel or hit the mute button due to the bald Brit Bernie being so obnoxious. This one didn't make it 30 seconds before he's yapping at someone! Its a shame cause they do some great cars. Much less enjoyable a show than Wheeler Dealers imho. Way too many melodramatic or competitive car shows on right now. More focused on the strife & arguing than the cars. You'd think there's enough of that in everyday life, but that reality tv mode must be popular in all venues. I'll still watch this one cause of the 928 of course. Thanks for posting this.

Overall was a very positive endorsement of the 928, even Bernie liked it! Like when Wheeler Dealers did a 928, Ed China must have commented 4-5 times during his work of how impressed he was with the workmanship of the 928. Thanks again for posting the link.

I saw they interspersed some 968 and 944 clips in the video. I wonder if that was on purpose or if they knew.

They should give the guy who flips exotics on Jalopnik his own show. That guy is brilliant:
