Harris review:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjrarc...ature=youtu.be
Seems like these reviews just try and make it appear this car is still a 911 and so much comparison that it's just like a 991. ___
Harris starts out with "It's bigger, better, and uses less fuel". Is he talking about a Cayenne??
As if he's read all the Rennlist criticisms and tries to counteract them. He does throw a few snipes in there with the cup holder and plastic rear engine cover. Overall, think he was happy just to wrap up the review.
"It's still a 911" that's about what you get out of it.

...compare Chris Harris' 992 review to his 991.2 GT3 review. The former is positive but not effusive - an evolution but not a revolution. The latter is nothing short of high praise for the vehicle and for the Porsche engineers in their "laboratory."

He's shifting the car. There's no emotion to it. It's moving and probably getting good lap times, but looks sterilized. Seems like you can barely tell it's building up any RPM's.

well to be honest, i don't know if he was thrilled with the none gt 991.2 either.

I'm holding out to form my own opinion on the 992 until after Jeremy Clarkson has driven one.
He typically loves anything 911 so it will be the most honest review possible.

Thanks for pointing that out STG. I watched CH and felt something was off. In cars he (really) likes he goes "wowowowowowowowow", "what a thing" etc etc. Nothing of that kind in the 992, it was strangely muted.

Yes but the Godfather of Porsche Journalism, Pete Stout, has spoken, and he said it drives fantastically. I will forever hate all there's to hate on the car but I have no doubts it drives wonderfully, if he says so. One word from him is worth a thousand from monkey Harris and all other YouTube self-described experts.

The 991 interior design came from the first Panamera, didn't seem like it was a huge issue then. The 964, 997 4s, 991 4s etc. all had the horizontal tail lamp design before the current Panamera even existed. If anything the Panamera stole it from the 911. Do people hate the rear because its ugly (therefore they think the Panamera is ugly)? or is it not ugly but they hate it because it looks similar to the Panamera?
