does seem like most reviewers are implying a part 2 or second review for the manual version...I am sure the publications will get some good mileage out of this car...and then there will be all the back to back comparison tests, group tests and the versus tests...and then the inevitable car of the year tests at the end of the year...enjoy fellas!

They must have had different launch locations, as the key European group obviously didn't have one available.

I think he could have dropped AP's name a few more times in this.

Of the reviews I've seen so far, this one was the worst. Just distracting for the most part. "What are you doing??"
I agree, the videography was shocking !. content actually wasn't so bad with facts rather then all superlatives

Best one I saw, was definitely the DriveTribe one:

Best quality review. Content Facts , quality video and opinion. Presenter has a lot to do with it. Remember his commentary over the top of the evo car of the year (GT3.1) run up the mountain at dusk ... symphony ..

Think it's Guards Red (which has orange notes, but some video distortion here making it more orange than in life)

It's fun about the first 1000 times, then becomes a little redundant on videos.
O no the drifting reviews goes way back to the Best Motoring Japan days. Chris Harris just does a great job presenting it in conjunction with the Top Gear cinematic movement.



Ok my bad. Back on topic. lol

I won't complain about videos where journalists
drift a press car all over the place.

I find watching drifting pretty damned fun,
and for the rest of it, I already know I want the car.

Watch this guy drift his way around Spa and tell me
who wouldn't want to be able to do that?


He also passes a bunch of people...
