Out of the many "WTF is he talking about ?" moments in that review, his comments regarding the supposed complication that may arise with swapping the orange side markers to euro clear lenses because according to him, they are just now being used as turn signals ( as if completely oblivious to the 991) is by far the worst example of his ignorance in this video.

Must admit.. I caught that one too. He seems a little 'off' in some ways.

He also calls the 992 the 7th generation of the 911.

He makes mistakes in most of his videos, not great with detail and for a car journo he's not terribly mechanically knowledgeable but that's not Doug is about, he is entertaining with his own quirks and features.

When Doug has tried deviating from the formula, the views fall through the floor.
He ended up creating a second channel "More Doug Demuro" where he can experiment, because his main channel audience reacted so badly to any change from this format.

Was a good review. Taking Doug seriously is like taking old Top Gear seriously for car reviews. It's entertainment. Although he points out lots of stuff you wouldn't notice otherwise, and that's what makes it great. Sometimes Sthmeeee or Salomander is more people's speed...
