Default I wonder what happened to Chris Harris' review of the 991 GTS?

It started with a glowing review in 2015 with the promise of more updates to come' but I can't find anything. I always enjoy reading his reviews as a true car guy. I wonder if the car broke and Porsche quietly took it back.

I don't know but he now has a show unto himself on BBC America on Monday at 21:00 hrs (EST), "Chris Harris on Cars" - it's excellent.

I want to see him drive the 991.2; he has been harsh on the TWTR-verse about the move to TT, so I'd like to see his track experience once he's settled down.

Yet he loves the new M3 that went from 4.0 V8 to 3.0 I6 TT. Go figure.

There does seem to be a universal dislike for the new series M3/4. After 2 yrs, mine has been a very good car, still fun to drive and more trouble free than my GTS.

I suspect that he got distracted by events ...

I believe these are simply a re-broadcast of his previous web/youtube shows...

Here's his follow-up review. However, I don't think he has a GTS anymore. Maybe Porsche hooked him up with a 911R. =P

Interesting that he too had issue with the ebrake which has been a vexing issue on mine.

Is it a software fix?

Based on last weeks show, it looks like any car that was reviewed on Top Gear this season they also had Chris review and that's what the show will be comprised of.
