Now what was i talking about?
Oh yeah, the car makers
are waging a proxy war on each
other thru YouTube and Instagram.
So if Macca has a MrJWW 720s video
that gets 1M views, Porsche can't
just stand idly by!
That's why Shmee and MrJWW
and YouTube car "mags" are the places
to launch.
But I do agree it's odd, seeing
such an ugly prototype as the
"launch vehicle"

What gets me is that the first test drives are so rushed to publish, that each of them is a recitation of the press pack / stays, followed by about 1.5 paragraphs of baloney "what's it like to drive" impressions.

Just listened to the linked video. "Andreas Pre-yune-in-jer"? "Porsch nine-hundred-eleven?" While I don't go around correcting regular peeps who mispronounce something in the Porsche world, fer cryin' out loud, a journo who sat in the car next to friggin Preuninger ought to at least take a stab at pronouncing a couple of syllables of his name correctly.

I do believe that the TT motor has a lot to do with the decline of 911 sales as well.
